Trader Joe's?
I know this has been covered to death, but we finally got a Trader Joe's in our area. It just opened up three weeks ago and I've already been there three times! I know they have a ton of great low point foods. Does anybody have a list of their favorites to share?
Thank you!!!! Lori |

i'm a bit of a trader joe's brat. i also really like their beauty products, and next time i go, i'm trying their salad dressings. there's a cilantro one that has peaked my interest. oh, and all the snack food...yeah because it's "healthy" i can't be tempted to buy it because i want to eat it all the first day. but i know some people love their snacks. |
I'll add their frozen eggplant parmesan -- the single portion tray is only 2 points, and it's filling and incredibly yummy. I add a little extra grated parm and up the points to 3. Excellent bring-to-work lunch.

1) turkey meatballs are very good.
simmer with their 2) tuscano marinara --eat over 3) brown rice (frozen brown rice packets) yumm |
i also like their edamame, fresh broccoli, cauliflower, bagged lettuce.
