Favorite things from Trader Joe's?

I will definitely be looking into the frozen buffalo patties. Years ago I used to frequent a really good butcher. He introduced me to buffalo and I really enjoyed it. 

I buy almost everything I eat from Trader Joe's! Some of my top items from my "Most Frequent" lists from MFP:

• Teriyaki turkey jerky and sweet & spicy buffalo jerky
• organic beef top sirloin roast
• omega 3 eggs
• frozen veggies, esp. artichoke hearts, organic broccoli florets, brussels sprouts, and grilled asparagus spears
• garlic mustard sauce
• shredded cheese, incl. sharp cheddar and the Swiss/Gruyere blend
• rosemary ham (in the deli/sliced meats area)
• Babybel cheeses - much cheaper than at regular supermarket!
• Light champagne vinaigrette salad dressing
• sliced roast chicken breast
• frozen lamb koftas, frozen fully cooked turkey meatballs
• frozen jumbo scallops, frozen Argentinian red shrimp
• curry simmer sauce, masala simmer sauce
• unsalted sardines in spring water, harissa sardines, canned skipjack tuna
• if you have a dog, mine says to tell you that Trader Joe's Chicken & Sweet Potato dog biscuits are delicious, and the seasonal ones (turkey & cranberry/gingerbread) are even better!

Thanks for your list!  Between you and Eliza, I'm thinking I need to make a trip ASAP.  Also, good to see there is someone else who likes sardines.  I love them so very, very much!

sardines are a superfood IMO! All that protein, calcium, and iron, plus omega 3 fatty acids AND deliciousness! This is my favorite dinner recipe:

--take small ramekin or tiny baking dish (approx. 8 oz) and brush lightly with olive oil

--preheat oven to 375 with oiled ramekin in it

--while oven is preheating, prepare sardines: 1/2 can sardines mixed with small amount of chopped veggies of your choice (I love kale, swiss chard also works really well as does broccoli), plus sardine-friendly sauce of your choice (my favorite is Trader Joe's masala sauce)

--when the oven and ramekin are done preheating, add your sardine/veggie mixture and bake for five minutes

--remove from oven and top with an egg

--return to oven and continue baking for 10 minutes. You can top with shredded cheese about a minute before done if you want. You can bake shorter if you like your egg to resemble poached, or longer for a really firm yolk. 10 minutes gives about the consistency of a soft-boiled egg.

These are the ramekins I use for this kind of thing. They come in really handy for all sorts of post-VSG meals:

Fiestaware 4x2 ramekins

and if you need something with a lid, these are the best:

Le Creuset Mini Cocottes

And that's quite a detour from favorite Trader Joe's items . . . sorry for the hijack

No apologies necessary. I am always on the lookout for interesting recipes. Thank you very much!!!

It sounds like their selection of frozen veggies is pretty impressive. Looking forward to investigating that. Rosemary ham sounds interesting too. I have typically paired rosemary with pork chops. Never thought to try it with ham. 

My dog has great appreciation for the recommendation. She is so spoiled. Such a little diva but I love her to pieces. 

I love stocking up on different sauces and marinades, they have lots of good Asian ones. Yellow curry is my favorite!

Their pre-cooked dinners are fab too. Pot roast, fajitas, carne asada, beef burgundy, chicken with mushrooms... So many protein-only choices that I can just toss in the microwave!

I've been exploring new sauces and marinades since surgery. It will be fun to see some new options. Easy protein only choices that you can just toss into the microwave??? Now you are talking my language :) Thanks for the helpful ideas.
