*Check back for new updates and new additions – apparently, TJ’s gets 10-14 new items each week, and consequently, the slowest sellers in each of the sections that the new items are going in are out of luck. All I like for the taste, some I like for convenience.*

Frozen Foods

Spinach and artichoke dip
Paneer Tikka Masala with spinach basmati rice

sweet potato fries
skinny green beans, French Haricots Verts – always in my freezer – for stir fry, steaming, or breaking in pieces to throw in a soup or pot pie.
edamame, lightly salted, in pods – an addictive and healthy snack
Pizza Palermo
spinach pesto pizza
bbq chicken pizza

frozen foods used to be an unhealthy indulgence for me. But, I do generally really like TJ’s frozen food selection. Ingredients are the best of any kind of affordable frozen food I’ve found.
