Hey Laura,
  Chip and I went on Saturday.  I loved it.  We got that turkey that waws stuffed with the apple cranberry stuffing.  OMG it was so good had some last night for dinner.  We spending over 100.00 but  I was a happy girl.  I also got some lemon chicken I can not wait to try.  My mother-n-law asked me what I wanted for x-mas I told her a gift card to  Trader Joe's.  Since I will be going there at least once  a week.  LOL  I ran into Julie while we were there.  We could have a support group there. LOL.......   Well See yah soon

That could be our next get together - meet at Trader Joe's!!!

I loved the store, it was a lot of fun!

Dont you love it!
I've tried the coconut curry chicken sticks the other night- Yummmmmm
some of the TJ's banana nut cereal...OMG, its sooooo good,
and let me tell you about the Buffalo steak burgers.  I threw a couple on the grill and ate half of one last night with some steak sauce on it and a little bit of baked potato, its was AWESOME!
I also love the frozen pepper strips from the frozen vegetable section. I've used those in several things as I love green, yellow and red pepper.

I'm going back on Wednesday morning after I drop the kids off at school and have a few minutes to myself! I'm definately getting the pineapple salsa (didnt see that one, i love pineapple!) and the flattened bananas as well as the low carb effect SF chocolate bar. I also saw someone mention cashew macademia butter which I'm dying to try, and Julie said she found dark chocolate covered edemame.  I'm sure I'll also find some other things. I've been scavaging the boards for ideas!

I'm planning to try the cranberry stuffed chicken breast tonight provided we get back from parent teacher conferences early enough.

What the heck is a flattened Banana?  IT sounds so good.  I want to try the pinapple salsa.  I LOVE pineapple!!!  tell me how it is.  Do you eat it w/ tortilla chips?  TJ's also has a GREAT whole grain tortilla chip.  My friend gave me 3 baggs and they are all gone now.  i am addicted, I need to go and get more. 

Now I know you are all thinking I ate them all, but no, I used them for my Tastefully Simple party...  They are Delish!

The flattened banana is just that - a banana thats been dried and flattened!

When I saw the pineapple salsa I got a good idea to make some HAWAIIAN PIZZA!!!!!!! Use a Joe's 4 net carb pita pocket, some pizza sauce, FF Mozz Cheese, Pineapple salsa and some ham - sounds good to me!
