You’ve given me hope — they didn’t have it last month when I looked, so I thought it was discontinued.

blossoms
adding:
frozen breaded tilapia filets (combine with tortillas, guac and bag of slaw with evoo and lime juice for quick fish tacos)
frozen turkey meatballs (freezer staple)
orange chicken (in frozen aisle) - combine with microwave rice (another staple) and steamed broccoli in a bag for full meal
double roasted tomato salsa and the mango salsa
nuts of all kinds- good taste and prices
pb and banana dog biscuits
Apple blossoms are especially nice when they’re hot from the oven and then topped with vanilla ice cream!

Overall their frozen Indian meals are pretty good; the Thai ones not so much.
The family size organic cheese and tomato pizza is really good, if you like a thin crust pizza.
+1 on handmade tortillas

They have a tin with smoked trout near the tuna that is really good, though expensive these days. And a good spinach vegetable dip near the hummus.
For gluten free options, they have these corn cake and cheese things in the freezer aisle. It's sort of like a pupusa meets corn bread meets sandwich. Also a good gluten free whole grain bread and gluten free everything bagels. And gluten free pumpkin pancake mix.
We did get sword fish there (not frozen) that was rancid the same day a bunch of produce we got there wasn't great, so for now on only make trips for pantry and freezer staples.

I love the brie with mushrooms in it. On the TJ toast-it-at-home baguette. Mmmmm.
I love that brie too. The truffle cheese is also very good.

Yes - unexpected cheddar. And I just saw they now have it in a spreadable form (which I have not yet tried).

Probably not the same. TJ's version you stick in the oven, take it out, flip it over on a plate and let the gooey sickly sweet toffee syrup drip over and into the cake.
Wow, that sounds delicious.
