Trader Joe’s Frozen Foods

Posted in Food Items, tagged , on March 2, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

We did a major Trader Joe’s shopping trip yesterday, and I got quite a lot of frozen items to try. I haven’t been into cooking for months now, and I don’t see the muse hitting me any time soon. So frozen food it is.  I thought I’d share my opinions of what I’ve gotten.  I’ll […]

Lightlife Crispy Gold’n Chik’n Nuggets Review

Posted in Food Items, tagged , , on January 17, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

My 12-yo vegetarian child has been pretty reluctant to try vegetarian frozen entrees. She’s particularly offended by fake meats.  She’s a vegetarian for ethical reasons, and she doesn’t see the point in eating fake animals.  But she probably was tired of eating pasta, so she gave this entree a try.  She was underwhelmed.  She said […]

Jimmy Dean Frozen foods

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged on January 17, 2015 | Leave a Comment »

I’m once again in a funk about cooking, so I’m back at eating frozen meals from time to time.  Grocery Outlet is now carrying the Jimmy Dean Delights brand, which I hadn’t seen before.  It’s pretty much just like every other frozen food brand – forgettable. I had their pulled pork sandwiches in chipotle bbq […]

Trader Joe’s Classic Lemon Bars

Posted in Food Items, tagged , , , on December 29, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

I got these to serve as the last course of my 13-course Xmas Eve dinner and they were perfect.  Indeed, these were very good lemon bars overall. They come frozen, and the curd is perhaps more cream-like and less sticky than that of a regular lemon bar, but it had the right degree of balance […]

Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbet

Posted in Cafes, Bakeries, Ice Cream..., Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged , , on November 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

I have a pretty nasty cold, so I only want to eat things which are smooth going down my throat and so flavorful that I can taste them despite my stuffed nose.  Ciao Bella blood orange sorbet fit the bill perfectly. Of course, I can’t tell you how someone that has their 5 senses would […]

Soul Indian Wraps – Review

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged , , on July 15, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

If you’re tired of having the same old frozen burrito for lunch, Soul’s Indian wraps provide a reasonable alternative.  They have four flavors, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and vegetable curry.  I’ve tasted the three chicken ones, and I can’t say I could really distinguish their flavor. They all tasted like mildly spicy […]

Johnsonville Smoked Brat in a soft baked roll – Product review

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged , , on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

This is yet another frozen product that no business tasting as good as it does.  I’m not the biggest fan of hotdogs in the first place, but these smoked bratwursts are quite good.  The smoked flavor really comes through, and the bun is soft and tasty. And they’re cheap (85c. each at Grocery Outlet) and […]

Bellafoglia and California Pizza Kitchen Frozen Pizzas – yuuum

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged , on December 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Tuesdays are a hard dinner day for me.  The kids have classes until late, so we don’t get home until 5:30, and then Mike has to go and rush to make it to his School Board meetings.  While I love cooking, I don’t like cooking when I’m rushed and I don’t particularly want to cook […]

Claim Jumper Frozen Dinners – Review

Posted in Food Items, Grocery Outlet, tagged , , on August 22, 2011 | 6 Comments »

I’m not a frozen food fan, but sometimes I want something that is quick and easy and cheap and frozen food is /it/.  Today, for example, my original plan for dinner was to make Cajun jambalaya, but we went to the movies, and then to the supermarket, and then it was too late to cook […]
