The pros:Â Super tasty, unexpected flavor in both the rice and the curry. Trader Joe's Vegetable Panang Curry is a really well done vegan Thai dish.
The cons:Â Almost 600 calories for a vegetable dish. Yikes. Quite a bit of saturated fat in a veggie dish.
The verdict:Â ...
The pros: Â Trader Joe's Channa Masala is lunch or dinner ready in about 4 minutes, good Masala sauce, one of the few Indian dishes you can buy in the freezer section. Tasty masala sauce with a bit of heat without being "hot."
The cons: Â The dish has a lot of chickpeas which can be very filling. I almost wanted a vegetable to go with this because it had so much sauce to it.
The verdict: Â ...
The pros: Â Out of the box Trader Joe's Tarte au Brie etaux Tomatoes was ready to go into a preheated oven and came out bubbling in about 10 minutes. Tasty and delicious both hot and at room temperature.
The cons: Â No microwave on this one.
The verdict: ...
The pros: Â Trader Joe's Tarte aux Champignons has a strong mushroom smell right out of the oven. Cheese was delicious and unexpected from a pizza like tart.
The cons: Â Can't use the microwave and the tarte was a bit soggy in the middle. So watch you cooking time.
The verdict: ...
The pros: Â Trader Joe's Pulled Beef Brisket is ready in 2-3 minutes. Good BBQ (notice the word good, not great). Enough for 2 people.
The cons: Â The BBQ sauces makes or breaks it. This one is just ok. It wasn't the worst I ever tasted, but it certainly wasn't the best either. The same BBQ sauce can be found on other Trader Joe's products.
The verdict: Â ...
