HAHA!
Look out!
Hey, garlic is super good for you and no I haven't tried the fries!
But not sure this is new, have you tried their brown rice/black barley/daikon radishes seeds mix????? it's super GOOD!!!!!
My 4 yr. old and I just love it with a dash of olive oil and a few drops of shoyu, that's heaven on earth!!!!!
Good with everything!
S.

Smoked canned trout! Great alternative to canned
sardines or mackerel.

ohh the buttermilk Garlic Mashed Potato Chips mmmmmmmmm taste just like mashed potatoes

MANGO CHILI VINEGAR!!!!!!!! OMG, its SOOOOO good! sweet @ first, then sour, then spicy. GREAT on fries, and makes an interesting vinegrette too. seriously, this stuff is GOOD!!!!!

Although it was new to me last fall, the mediterranean style hummus is YUMMY!

Evenus Zinfandel Port. This is a Paso Robles wine that Trader Joe's private labels (although it doesn't say Trader Joe's on it). You won't find it anywhere else and it's a heavenly wine. Now that I'm not seeing it there regularly, I think I'll buy a case if I ever see it again. And I've NEVER bought wine by the case before.

I was wary of the soups, as several have been a flavor let down... But- I have now found a couple of good ones!

The Organic Lentil & the Organic Split Pea (vegan) are realy quite tasty & well balanced. They almost have that homemade-ish feel/flavor about them. Both are somewhat new. I hope that they are popular enough to stick around.

The soy/ginger broth makes a great base for couscous!
Add a tablespoon of olive oil, too.

I dont think its new, but it was the first time I've tried the frozen Mac N Cheese and it was super yummy and almost like home made

i tried the veggie masala burger last night...so good! i pan fried it in a little oil so it was nice and crispy on the outside. tasted just like a samosa!

Frozen green garbanzo beans. They are yummy to toss into a stir fry of a salad. I alway thought the dried brown ones were the only edible kinds... Yum!

I bought the creamy tomato soup in the carton a while back, and hadn't gotten around to trying it.. So when I found it in the fridge today and discovered it was still good, I heated some up, and WOW! That's some great tomato soup! Really filling.. I was pretty dang hungry, and I had a bowl of the soup and a hard boiled egg and I'm stuffed! Definitely going to pick up another couple of cartons of those next time.

More of my favorites:

Potato Cheddar Perogis
Spinach Lasagna
Mediterranean Hummus
Margarita Mix (best stuff!!!)
Flourless Wheat Berry Bread (5 gms protein per slice!)

new to me anyway - creamy organic tomato and roasted red pepper soup in the carton. i add whole wheat cous cous. yum!

Has anyone noticed the guacamole and salsa kits?
Or how about the chimichurri sauce?
Anyway, they have both taken leave of my local TJ's.

I just last night discovered the tomato basil hummus. Before I chose it, I thought, "well, no one raved about it on Tribe yet, but it looks interesting..." OH HOLY MOTHER! That is some amazing stuff - and its almost even good for you! Its so tasty, if I didn't stop myself, I could have eaten the whole thing at one sitting. How has this little gem flown under the radar so long? Buying a few at a time from now on!

My other super yummy discovery is the non-fat brownies in the pink box - "No pudge fudge brownies." I make mine (half a box at a time) with applesauce instead of yogurt, add an egg (you must add the egg for fluffiness) and then add a big handful of TJ's choc chips and some white choc chips to the mix and bake. Commentary from a brownie recipient, "That has got to be the best brownie I've had in my entire life." Brownie = pure happiness.

Just picked up the frozen Argentinian Shrimp that they only have for 2 months of the year. Tried one bag, and the checker said, "Oh my God, these are my favorite. I buy bags and bags of these and keep them in my freezer for when I can't get 'em anymore." She said they taste like little lobsters. It WAS so good! I prefer these to shrimp now. Saute in butter and two frozen garlic cubes (also frozen section), get 'em all toasty brown, pour in a little sweet Muscato wine. Yum yum yum.

I would have to say that the sparkling mojito is like crack to me. Thank goodness it is non-alcoholic or I would be a raging lush right about now.

There's a newish Organic cereal which tastes pretty good. Organic Morning Lite is a whole grain cereal with bran , kamut, millet , brown rice and lil corn puffs sweetened with honey that make it taste less like bark and twigs and more like a healthy cereal. There's 9 grams of fiber per serving which is good for keeping things flowing ;)

Yes. The prices at TJ's are rising and some of the packaging seems to be smaller. Due to the increased pricing for food commodities (thanks ethanol subsidies!) I have noticed that food prices have risen at TJ's over the past few months.
Tuna was 99 cents a can is now 1.39, Pasta was .79 cents went up 20 cents.
No biggie as the food is still as tasty and better priced than most other stores...

The instant miso is pretty good. I add fresh onions 'cause they're
so tasty. Will try simmering some bok choy in the mix next.
