Yes, rainbow vanilla has no appeal whatsoever. I did notice those
drizzled ones on their website. Not seen in real life. I may have to
check bed/bath again? (g) That's where I have seen the rainbow
thingies

They do seem to have a lot of different varieties. My store was well stocked
again today, mini-chocolate chip, mini mint-chocolate chip, vanilla, orange, very
chocolate (which appears to have a new label on the package now), and coconut. I
only bought the chocolate chip - grabbed 2 containers this time. I've noticed
mine disappearing much faster, looks like hub is helping. G

I just looked at their website and it appears that the only one my store isn't
carrying in the mini-size is the rainbow vanilla .. which I'm not interested in
anyway. I've never seen any of the miss meringue chocolettes in our store ...
cookies drizzled with chocolate. mmmmmmmmmm, chocolate!

Now the raspberry are nowhere to be found, and the very chocolate are slim

I was just at Trader Joe's on Monday, didn't even think to check out their
meringue section as I had given up on them ever having any mini's. I might have
to try the coconut. I tried the miss meringue coconut cookies, nothing special
... hopefully these are much better. Let's hope they introduce more flavors in

Gorp is an abbreviation (acronym) which breaks out as:

G = Good
O = Old
R = Raisins
P = Peanuts

Most modern medleys would include M&M's which is what I make. And the
taste always varies since rarely does anyone measure. So the amount
of peanuts, raisins and M&M's vary. The idea is sweets for energy,
peanuts for protein and salt, raisins for whatever they contain.... A
friend from Luxembourg fell in love with it and introduced his
girlfriend to it. It holds up well to hiking and heat whereas those
with chocolate chips tend to melt.

And then the variations go on endlessly. Trader Joes has taken it
even further offering about 10 or so different varieties some
including peanutbutter chips, choc covered raisins, almonds,
cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, all fruits, etc ....

Gorp is an abbreviation (acronym) which breaks out as:

G = Good
O = Old
R = Raisins
P = Peanuts

Most modern medleys would include M&M's which is what I make. And the
taste always varies since rarely does anyone measure. So the amount
of peanuts, raisins and M&M's vary. The idea is sweets for energy,
peanuts for protein and salt, raisins for whatever they contain.... A
friend from Luxembourg fell in love with it and introduced his
girlfriend to it. It holds up well to hiking and heat whereas those
with chocolate chips tend to melt.

And then the variations go on endlessly. Trader Joes has taken it
even further offering about 10 or so different varieties some
including peanutbutter chips, choc covered raisins, almonds,
cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, all fruits, etc ....

Well, after lots of meringues yesterday,

it
was
two

(as
in

Next

I
don't like to think of another up

so

But
the

I don't do cookies very often. Last was over New Years weekend.
Well, Miss Meringues don't count (well, they do count by don't)

Or wherever. I thought you were in Washington. Where am I getting this

What is interesting is that I now have more breads in the house than
before WW. Most are high fiber and I use them mainly for the weekend
jaunts for sandwiches which I find are better for hunger than the
handful of this, handful of that, that I use to eat while
hiking/skiing. So I make a very skinny peanut butter (less than
tablespoon) and jelly (less than teaspoon) sandwich or two with 1
point bread slices. But muffins, cookies, crackers are pretty much
not purchased anymore. Altho, I will admit that the "brownie" bites
that Costco sells keep catching my eye but I have resisted and never
given in.

Oh, LESANNE, forgot those Costco FRANGO types of choc down there,
also. (G)

Then we're even. No lasagna for you, no dried guava for me. I
normally
don't
look at the breads either, is one of those items I pretty much stay

had seen the muffins listed in their little newspaper/newsletter thing
that is
mailed to the house and thought they sounded good. I was very
pleasantly
surprised when I found that the nutritional information was friendly
also.

That sounds pretty good. I have not looked at any of the "super"

lasagna either.

Too late - you knew I wasn't going to pass this one up! Trader
Joe's
99% fat free
Blueberry Wheat Bran Muffins ... 1 muffin, about 2 oz., 110 cal/0.5g
fat/5g fiber,
1.44 US points. They really are good! Not a large sized muffin,
but a
bit bigger
than the mini muffin types. Maybe a small cupcake? hehehe There
are
no
preservatives, took me a while to figure that out (too bad I didn't
read the
package where it is stated very clearly). The first two packages I
bought turned
moldy within 2 or 3 days. I have since learned ... put them in a
zipper bag and
keep refrigerated for a bit longer life. My TJ's has them near the
english
muffins/breads - stacked on a display table in the center of the
aisle.
Go for
it! They really do make a nice snack alternative.
