I love Trader Joe's. I also love a northeast chain called Wegman's. I haven't been to Whole Foods yet (tho my roomie is anxious to get there - she loves it!).
These specialty grocery stores have wholesome, natural, gourmet and AWESOME foodstuffs. Do you go to any of these? Or someplace similar?
If you do go, what do you ALWAYS buy there? Are there some items you can't do without that you can only get at your specialty store?
I'll go first....

OK, I'll stop there. My actual list I have for TJ's is way long. But I just chose some of my faves. Let's hear yours!

Trader Joe's. I love:
- Their pumpkin seed rolls (wonderful dense rolls covered in pumpkin seeds and when you toast it, the seeds get that great toasty flavor)
- Cranberry walnut tart. They also have a great apricot almond tart
- Chocolate Orange cookies with an intense orange flavor in a crispy yet chewy chocolate cookie
- Snap Pea Crisps (a snack made from real snap peas coated in rice flour and baked)
- Quesadillas (great pan fried for a few minutes on each side)
- Asparagus Soup - so good, with croutons and cheese. It comes frozen, and you just plunk it in a bowl and bake it. (you can nuke it, but it's better baked)
- Greek Total Yogurt - with honey. MmmMMm. So thick and rich
- Triple Ginger Snaps (Jamie - these are to die for!) with bits of crystalized ginger
- Apple Pie - it's sooo good - I am not usually big on apple pie, but this is so good, so fresh tasting, so cinnamon-y, it's more like a deep dish apple dessert than just a pie.
OK, I'll stop there. My actual list I have for TJ's is way long. But I just chose some of my faves. Let's hear yours!
