frozen blueberries
frozen string beans
frozen spinach
smoked salmon, either the pound or 1/2 pound package
baked potatoes
sweet potatoes
Trader Joe brand no-dairy butter

all of the above are kosher, Trader Joe's has a great selection of kosher items
plants, succulents
(crazy cheap for beautiful healthy succulents and some wonderful varieties which do well when i repot them)


and before i started keeping kosher, the gyoza / pot stickers

They really do have some cute succulents, don't they?

Dark chocolate peanut buttercups
Salted crackers with olive oil
Taco shells
Frozen Indian and Mexican meals.... I always have these on hand for a quick meal

[Jkgourmet]

Trader Joe's Truffle Mousse Pate
Frozen pork gyoza
Fresh flowers weekly (usually stargazer lillies)
Navel oranges
Charlee Bear dog treats

DH goes insane if there aren't any Ghost Pepper potato chips in our house. He gets cranky if I don't buy the Mexican Elote corn chips. His internist blames those two things for his increased blood pressure.

I forgot about those! Much better quality than Reese's, IMO.

The TJ's dark chocolate version of Reese's cups are my favorite. Was out at lunch one day, and picked some up. Didn't think that was probably not a good idea in July. I too had the big lump when I came out after work.

I get nuts and parmesan.
I try to avoid excess carbs, which seems like 90% of their products.

I don't go there very often and the nearest one to me is like 40 min away. But I have had their dark chocolate bars and I like them. Also their frozen breaded chicken tenders.
