New (to me) Trader Joe's find

It's shredded chicken, but you could use sliced. You would also want to make sure
you had a light bbq sauce - or the calories would probably go higher. But there
really is no reason you couldn't make it yourself, would be easy enough. I'm too
lazy. G

No Trader Joe's near me either Joyce. Would thinly sliced chicken breast
and bbq sauce be similar?

I know not everyone has a Trader Joe's store available to them, but
thought I
would pass my most recent find along. I have had such a taste for a bbq
sandwich
lately, but have avoided it due to obvious reasons. g While shopping in
Trader
Joe's I noticed in the refrigerated section (the one with the chicken
sausages) a
white plastic tub of bbq chicken breast. I looked at the caloric/fat
content ...
60 calories, 1g fat per 1/4 cup. Figured I would buy a tub and give it a
try. It
was buried in my fridge for a few weeks and I forgot about it ... until
today when
I was scrounging for something for lunch and knew all lunchmeat had
already been
devoured, as well as lettuce and salad fixins. So out it came, toasted
two pieces
of light wheat bread (I forgot to buy light buns) and heated up 1 serving
of the
bbq chicken. Dang was this stuff good, and 1/4 cup was more than enough
for a
single sandwich!

LOL! Yes sir! At least the temptations I am finding are somewhat good ones. G

I also need to make a TJ run, am out of sausages, tomato soup , lasagna and
enchiladas. I've been looking for their dried guava, but my store didn't have it
last time I was there. I love the whole foods nickname. I don't go there very
often, for that very reason ... too danged high priced for me. At least it is in
the opposite direction of Trader Joe's - next town over (but only a few short
miles).

I do need some of their low fat sausages. And, folks, it is within
walking distance of my house as is Whole Paycheck, I mean Whole Foods.
Actually, I could hit both of them in about a 2 mile or less loop.

We have Whole Foods here and I've gone once. They don't carry much
that I can't elsewhere for a WHOLE lot less. They're even pricier than
the grocery stores with carpet on the floors and chandeliers on the
ceilings, or my home delivery grocery store. They're also in the
opposite direction of most everywhere I frequent.

Bet I'd go out of my way, though, for Trader Joe's.

I was just shopping for sauce, and they range from 15 to over fifty calories
with a big diversity in fat as well, I ended up with something called stubbs
I think, is the 15 calorie one and is very good, in fact close to the sauce
on the frozen pork at sams club which is NOT point friendly, Lee

You might want to check out their turkey meatballs in the frozen
section. Each meatball has 50 Calories, 2g fat and 1g fiber. We
picked up six bags yesterday, because everybody in the house loves
them.

Our favorite thing to make with them is Italian Wedding Soup. Our
version has onions, spinach, chicken base (which we get from Gordon
Food Service [http://www.gfs.com/]), garlic, pepper and oregano.

Oh, and Trader Joe's lightly breaded cod fishsticks and potato latkes
are tasty, too.

Same here, but make that a 8 to 15 hours flight depending where I want to
go.... whine!!!
But you can be sure that next time I fly to the US I will find a Trader
Joes! The Skinny Cows, I 'll have to eat them there, don't see how I cuold
transport them home :-)
