Time for some grilled shrimp from the Genghis Grill. But this time, not so much dragon's breath chili powder!

I did not see the crustless quice---is it frozen?  I really liked their beef jerky.  I have never liked jerky because to me it was always too thought it was too tough.  NOT TJ's---it was flavorful and not hard to chew.  I wish I could do chicken and turkey---neither seem to be my friends.  Too Dry I guess.  But I do love shrimp and other fish.  Total cheese fiend and without a doubt edamame is my friend. 

By the way John - Congrats again.  You are doing a great job!

NashvilleItalian---I never lecture anyone that is having success.  I agree and I do things in moderation.  I get my carbs from fresh fruit as I love love love it.  I am fortunate that I do not have a weakness for sweets and never have.  I have always been a salty crunchy sour kind of girl.  Which is good as nuts have been a good source of protein for me as well.

My biggest challenge is EXERCISE.  I hate it.  I have got to get off my rearend and just do it.  But it is my biggest problem. 

Thanks for sharing the info on TJ's.
Come join us on the loser's bench...there is always room for more!!!!!!!!

OK,here's my Trader Joes addictions:

Chili Lime Chicken Burgers-YUM!
Flaxseed Tortilla Chips (Vegetable) with a little hummus_Tasty!

And my new one, once again thanks to Melinda...
Chipolte Marinated Chicken Skewers-WOWZA!


We had those puppies mixed in a small salad last night, and even RJ liked them!  So, I'll be purchasing those again!

Traders Joes Rocks!

I found this video online this morning and thought it was cute!  Trader Joe's

Have a great day!

I didn't see the Flaxseed Tortilla Chips. I'm assuming they are carb friendly? I also didn't see the Chipolte Marinated Chicken skewers but those sound YUM!

They use to sell the Joseph's low carb/sugar free cookies but they said they didn't sell very well in Nashville (probably because we didn't post about them on the boards). I hear the cookies are quite tastey, but you can only get them from amazon.com- which charges $8 bucks for shipping.

The crustless quiche is frozen and in the corner end of the freezer aisle next to the regular crusted quiche.

Melinda - yes, I do blame you for my protein addiction. HA! Well, it's a great addiction to have!

Trader Joe's also has my dark chocolate covered edamame and my black bean salsa that I crave. It's lovely to be able to snack with my health in mind now.

Michaela - it's worth the trip to Green Hills, I promise! But allow yourself at least an hour to browse, if not 2.
