Yay: Mild Salsa

This is a very tasty salsa, particularly since it lacks all the preservatives of standard brand jarred salsas. You actually find this in the refrigerated section of TJs, compared to typical groceries stores where you find room temperature salsa in the chip aisle. This item is a bit on the thinner, runnier side, therefore I recommend it more as a topping for your Mexican inspired dishes or as a cooking ingredient, as opposed to dipping with a hearty chip. Or you could just find a thinner chip too!

Yay: Baby Spinach

I have yet to purchase a "bad" bag of baby spinach from Trader Joe's. It is always fresh, not wilted, crispy and delicious. Many times I've tried to purchase spinach from a different grocery store with standard packaged brands, and the bottom 1/3 of the bag is nearly useless because the spinach is wet and wilted. At $1.99 a bag the price is comparable too (although your store's pricing may vary). Top with some Candied Pecans and a delicious cheese, and you've got yourself one yummy salad!

Yay: Kale for Cooking

This kale is conveniently pre-washed and cut for easy steaming and sauteing. Always fresh and crispy, TJs makes it easy to include a powerful punch of vitamins in your meal. This kale can also be used in salads, although it is highly recommended to wash it beforehand and consider ripping the leaves from the meaty stalks (it is harder to chew and digest the raw stalks).
