Gazpacho
How did I never try this out! Works well with any chip, especially my new fave: Rice and Bean chips
Gazpacho is a tomato-based, raw vegetable soup that's popular in Spain (where it was invented), neighboring Portugal, and also parts of Latin America. Because it is served cold, it is most popular during hot summer months.

Tofu Edamame Nuggets
I just bought these on my last TJ trip looking for something without meat. Came across these in the frozen section and thought I'd give them a try. Not sure how to describe them but they are tasty! I've never been a huge Tofu can but these are great and can be cooked very quickly.

Hold the Cone
An ice cream cone with only 70 calories? Oh yes!! At $2.99 you can't go wrong with this purchase.
Each easy-to-hold-in-your-hand wafer cone is filled with rich, creamy ice cream dipped in a smooth, chocolaty coating. They're simple, for sure; and oh-so wonderfully satisfying.

Chocolate Cheddar Cheese
Not sure how I felt about this cheese but it was pleasant surprise with a great taste. Great combo!
Let yourself fall in love all over again at first bite, but hurry up because it's only available for a limited time. Pairs well with Apples.

Mushroom Ravioli with Truffle Sauce
I'm always hesitant to try frozen meals that offer a "gourmet" taste but I was extremely satisfied with this dish. I've only tried it with the microwave and added some frozen vegetables. I can only image how much better is taste in a skillet.

Bird’s Nests
They make a great base that can be topped with a cooked shrimp or scallop for an interesting appetizer.
The "nests" are made from carrots and zucchini and get deliciously crispy in the oven. These are quite tasty and are a great appetizer option for vegetarian guests.

Steamed Lentils
I just bought these the other day and they taste great. Pair it with chicken, slice of bread, veggies etc. No need to add extra seasoning. I actually enjoy them at room temperature as well.
Ready to Eat Warm or Cold providing an excellent source of fiber and protein.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Baking is a much healthier approach and taste just as great. I heat these up in the oven for a meal side or snack.
Forget about "French Fries"- try Baked Sweet Potato Fries instead.

Spicy Chai Latte
I enjoy my homemade Spicy chai lattes when I'm not in the mood to get my Starbucks fix. Taste great with their Trader Joe's vanilla soy milk.
The description says it all. Spicy Chai. Can be prepared Hot or Cold.

Pear Cinnamon Cider
Mix things up a little with the flavor of pear in your cider. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy before you've even had a chance to drink it.
Trader Joe's Pear Cinnamon Cider is about as warm and fuzzy as a pair of bunny slippers, and much tastier on the tongue. Pears being similar in flavor to apples, the flavor here is similar to apple cider, with subtle differences.

Multi Grain Croissants
I like that these croissants because they don't require any proofing-you don't have to wait overnight to let them rise. They taste great and even better with some Nutella.
Trader Joe's Multigrain Croissants are studded with sesame seeds, flaxseeds and sesame seeds that impart a subtle, nutty flavor to the buttery, flaky crescents. Enjoy them warm, straight from the oven, or allow them to cool and use them to make a mem...

Reduced Guilt: Mac & Cheese
I recently tried out and LOVE it. I've never been a big fan of the original mac & cheese. I tend to go for the mac & cheese with breadcrumbs and more "gourmet" cheeses. But this one is guilt free so you really can't go wrong :)
If you like Mac & Cheese search no more. This is a 270 Cal meal with plenty of flavor.

A little taste of Mexico goes a long way with these mini tacos. They're always been a hit, and they're great with other small plates. Add in some sangria and you've got a fiesta on your hands!

MorningStar Farms® Veggie Sausage Patties
I just bought these at traders joe's and love eating them with a side of egg whites. It keeps you full and satisfied. I wouldn't recommend the "tj's" brand of these patties. Definitely go with the morning star and heat in oven for crispy flavor.
