Thread: Trader Joe's - Best Frozen Item

Headed to Trader Joe's this weekend to pick up some stuff. I like to stash something away in the freezer for quick snack/dinner some nights. What is your favorite frozen item at Trader Joes?

I've had the Mac & Cheese there since it was hyped up by my boss. I didn't care for it too much...to grainy? I guess I'm just a big fan of my Mom's when I visit...that stuff is delicious out of the oven!

Suggestions?

Frozen Enchiladas are real good.

The frozen chicken tamales are some of the best. My freezer is always stocked with them. They come 2 to a pack. Pop 1 in the microwave for 3 minutes then put some taco sauce on it. They have Indian entrees such as chicken tika masala that I get a lot. Aslo, stuffed bell peppers and lasagna. Their fresh frozen fish is also a good value.

While you are there pick up some Jo-Jo's. They are similar to Oreos but waaay better. Also, Double Rainbow vanilla ice cream is the bomb.

We do a great portion of our grocery shopping at TJ's. I will be going by there tomorrow. I am going to try the "Better'n Peanut Butter" that was mentioned in the other thread.

Chile & Cheese Tamales

They have some pasta that come in a serving size that are pretty good. They are small white trays with clear plastic wrapping.

Orange Flavored Chicken is the best, hands down!

For $1.99, the Cheese Enchiladas are pretty damn good. As for the frozen veggies, the asparagus is awesome. Steamed, it tastes like FRESH, I swear. I like their BBQ chicken pizza too! I never go there without picking up frozen blueberries or the berry mix if they don’t have just the blueberries alone.

Another vote for the enchiladas.

FYI, I've found their microwave directions to be wrong for a lot of their frozen foods. No problems with oven directions, though.

The cheese (and if the still have them) chicken perogis are the best!

The following TJ frozen items are regulars in my freezer at home:

Chicken Chile Verde
Cheese Enchiladas
Penne Arrabiata
Vegetable Melange
