I have been making them and slicing it over salads with 1/2 100 cal pack of craisins, some walnuts, and avocado. hazel eyes, dark brown hair with a few hilights, light to medium skin..

That is going on my agenda for this weekend. ~~Lilly~~ "What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."

Or what I imagine dog food to taste like anyway. And they were slightly green (from pesto) which did not enhance the overall experience of eating them at all.

Posts: 559 05/04/09 13:36:55	I have so many-but my new favorite is their bleu cheese dressing in the refrigerated section. It tastes rich and is thick, but low in calories--80 cals. per 2 T. IIRC. Your Signature ... --Cindy

Posts: 850 05/04/09 13:49:04	Cindy, so the blue cheese dressing is refrigerated? All of the dressings I've seen aren't. I need to find this. :) Here we goooooooo! I'll have to edit this as I think of more, so check back: Frozen: Chicken Shu Mai Organic berries Mango chunks Chicken lime burgers Breaded chicken breasts Onion soup Garlic Naan Jasmine rice Brown rice Turkey meatballs Mochi. Can't eat just a few, so I no longer buy it. :( Various: 100 calorie popcorn Almond Milk (vanilla unsweetened) Roasted red pepper and tomato soup (I eat this like crazy and add feta to it) Containers of crumbed goat, feta and shaved parm for salads, eggs, anything! Low-fat cottage cheese Fage Chile nut mix (cashews, almonds) Rosemary marcona almonds Low-fat string cheese Mixed berry granola (OMG, amazing! Has chewy dried fruit in it) Garlic naan (like the frozen better though) and even better than that is the packaged Tandoori naan Mediterranean hummus Tomato basil hummus Tzatziki yogurt dip Sliced turkey Brown rice tortillas Whole wheat pasta Vodka sauce...yum.

Vanana (it's vanilla and banana mixed) and Strawberry Low Fat Organic Yougurt Roasted Gorgonzola Crackers Non-fat Greek Yogurt Mango, Triple Berry, Maple Pecan, and Green Apple Granolas Honey Wheat Pretzels Chocolate Mini Meringues Cats Cookies for People, especially chocolate and ginger Orange Chicken (frozen) Trader Joe's Os, my husband likes them better than Cheerios Chicken sausages, lots of good flavors Shrimp, Vegetable and Chicken Fried Rice (frozen) This Fig Walked into a Bar and other flavors too(my husband likes these a lot) Microwave Popcorn A bunch of the other stuff already rec'd And my dog rec's any of the dog treats My cats are loving the Holistic Natural Feline Formula dry cat food. I am too. They ate Royal Canin for years, and a few weeks ago one of them started having loose-ish and smelly poop. I pinned it down to my female and was going to take her to the vet. I needed cat food and was in TJs and decided to try the Holistic stuff to see if they liked it, so I picked up a bag before they ran out of the Royal Canin. Once they switched to the TJ's stuff, Liselle's poop became and has stayed perfectly normal. So I guess something in the Royal Canin no longer agreed with her.

Posts: 850 05/04/09 14:15:38	mercurygirl, I ran out of Stu's fave wet food, so I bought the turkey flavor from TJ's (which is twice as big and 1/2 the price of my other one!) and Stu goes CRAZY for it. It smells absolutely heinous, worse than any other cat food I've smelled, but that must be why he loves it. He loves it so much in fact that he has been really aggressive with getting me up in the morning to eat. :( Today he bit my cheek and I have a mark there and it's sore. So, a rant from me, but a rave from Stu. ~July~ 26 years old, Blonde Hair, Green Eyes & Fair Skin

Posts: 129 05/04/09 14:39:04	That sounds very familiar ... Sylvie squeaks and jumps against the bedroom door until I get up and feed her. That turkey food must have some secret kitty-crack ingredient not listed on the label! I do love that it's a good-quality food and so affordable. A week or so ago I ran out and picked up a can of Innova Evo turkey & chicken flavor, and Sylvie took a couple of bites and left the rest. It's TJ's or nothing for her now! NW20, combination skin

Posts: 1152 05/04/09 15:09:40	I'll have to pick up some of that turkey food for my cats. About once a week or so I make them a "kitty sundae" for a treat. I take a small can of food and split it between two small bowls and then top it with tuna flakes. They literally throw themselves at the bowls. We already know the tuna flakes are kitty-crack, and if this TJs turkey food has kitty-crack properties, then this will make them go crazy.

Posts: 1152 05/04/09 15:37:54	July, I usually got the Fancy Feast too. They are going to be such happy kitties when I get them the TJ's turkey food. They love their kitty sundaes now, but they are going to be estatic. Sylvie is a gorgeous cat isn't she?

My sister took me to the one near here in Charlotte and I could have moved in. The only thing I bought was the garlic hummus, and it was divine. The only pre-made hummus I've ever bought that had enough garlic in it for me. Every other kind I have to add extra, just to be able to taste it. I love Trader Joes.

I love that one because it's the same stuff in a bigger store, plus the parking garage makes me feel all big city sophisticated. Not to mention there's a Marshall's above a Best Buy at the other side of the garage and Target at the next parking garage across the road. And the Target is on the upper level. You can tell I'm easily impressed - LOL!

Posts: 966 05/04/09 17:27:50	LOL, Donna, we actually went to the one with the parking garage. The one on Rea is a lot closer to their house, but my sister wanted to check out the other one and see if it was any bigger or better than hers (it wasn't.) Plus we wanted to go to this great mall in that part of town (name??? It had a Sephora.), so we just stopped there. I could have filled the car with stuff.
