Trader Joes or Whole Foods

 Don't get me wrong, I adore Rob... but I adore Trader Joes to help switch it up a bit.  There are things there that I just have no clue how to make and are very vsg friendly... much of it is organic too.

baked Tofu- awesome!!!
uncured chicken hot dogs- no nitrates, low cal (60 I think) with lots of protein and no nitrates
uncured bacon- I just use it on salads, not a main course
fish- they have a nice selection of filets frozen and vacuum sealed- super easy and yummy stuff 


There is much more, and many things that will help to spice up what you are doing.  Worth the trip!  I like whole foods too, but it is more expensive.  

With that said, I do love Rob's suggestion on the chicken.  Nothing better than precooking for a few days.  Then again, I am lazy- I tend to go for the rotissiere chicken from Sams.   

I am blessed with  a husband who cooks :)

 Traders Joes is where I buy 75% of my food. Egg face has a great list of Trader Joes go- to items.

Sorry for my lack of knowlege, but do you have to have a membership or anything to shop at Trader Joes? I have never been there but know a few people who have. I don't live close to one, but it may be worth my drive if I can actually find what I need. thanks

You do not need a membership to shop at Trader Joes.

FYI, Trader Joes is owned by the owner of Aldis. I shop at Aldis too sometimes.

Best,

Sharon
