Favorite Food Products from Trader Joe’s
Today I visited my local Trader Joe’s store to pick up a few things. I thought I would blog about some of my favorite food items from the store.
Pinks and Whites Shortbread Cookies with a yogurt coating and sprinkles.
These remind me of the big bag of pink and white animal cookies my mother bought when we were kids.
Trader Joe’s Turkey Burgers
Trader Joe’s Turkey Burgers are frozen and raw. The package contains four burgers just enough for my family.
The Turkey Burgers make a great quick meal when fried up in a pan and placed on a bun. I actually use just a little olive oil and water to fry them up to save on calories. Sometime I eat my Turkey Burger without a bun to save on carbs.
Tonight I am serving them with a bag of rainbow colored slaw which is a mixture of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and red cabbage.
Trader Joe’s Organic Mini Cheese Sandwich Crackers
Trader Joe’s Organic Mini Cheese Sandwich Crackers are nice to snack on.
The crackers are crisp with a nice cheese filling. The crackers can also be purchased with a peanut butter filling.
You can eat of whole box of these if you’re not careful.
Trader Joe’s Lightly Breaded Fish Sticks
Trader Joe’s Lightly Breaded Fish Sticks – Reduced Fat.
These Lightly Breaded Fish Sticks make a quick meal on Fridays.
They seems to work best when I add some freshly cut sweet potatoes fries tossed in olive oil and spices.
Use ketchup instead of tater sauce to save on calories.
Trader Joe’s Frozen Organic Peas
Trader Joe’s Organic Peas are frozen and easily heat up on the stove or microwave.
They make a nice side dish for many meals. You can make a pea salad with cooled cooked peas, bits of cheddar cheese, and a mayo based dressing.
Frozen peas usually contain less salt than canned peas.
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Star Shortbread Cookies
Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Stars, Dark Chocolate covered Shortbread Cookies. These Dark Chocolate Stars cookies are a seasonal item for Christmas.
They make a nice snack with hot coffee or chocolate.
You can also use them to decorate other desserts. They always look festive on a nice serving plate.
Trader Joe’s Just Grilled. . . Chicken Strips
Trader Joe’s Just Grilled . . .Chicken Strips are great to have on hand in the freezer for quick salads.
The chicken strips need to be defrosted in the microwave before using.
