okay, not healthy, organic, or whaaatever- but as above said cookie butter.

they also have plenty of healthy, organic frozen sides. frozen asparagus is a must. their frozen pizzas are actually incredibly healthy compared to other frozen competitors. their fresh chicken pot pie is available frozen - i also love the fresh stuffed peppers, veggie lasagna and fresh hummus. i'm also obsessed with the seasonal harvest salad blend (salad/spring mix w/ pumpkin vinagrette).

but come on you can't go to tj's and not try ONE bad thing... like the seasonal candy cane joe-joe's ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

Everyone seems to love the cookie butter.... I know this is a strange question, but what do you do with it?

Power Greens, Asian Stir Fry Veg Mix, Mocha yogurt.

I buy those most weeks. Right now they have the Pound Plus Extravaganza Bar...dark chocolate, ginger, cranberry.

I have yet to try the cookie butter until now (I've always willed myself to keep walking past it) but last night I just dove straight in to the next step and bought a frozen cookie butter cheesecake. $6.99. I am super excited about it!

OP, TJs has some awesome frozen foods that are nice to keep in the freezer for those just in case nights (especially if you usually cook fresh) or if you work and have access to a freezer and a microwave. They are pretty much all very reasonably priced. I really like the individual garden vegetable lasagna. I also pick up their hummus on a regular basis. My newest obsession there is their pineapple juice that they sell in packs of 4 cans. it tastes like someone just made you some fresh-- not like the canned pineapple juice you usually get in stores. It's made from fresh, whole, organic pineapple. I like it with seltzer and lemon on ice or in smoothies. I also LOVE their frozen wild boreal blueberries. YUM.

eta: Oops, I see someone else likes the hummus and frozen lasagna and already suggested them. Sorry to repeat (great minds, though)!

Chocolate covered peppermint Jo-Jo's. And in the pizza section, the "tarte" that has caramelized onion, little slivers of ham, and creme fraiche with phylo as the crust. And the 1 gallon brewed unsweetened green and white tea with mint.

Cookie butter is way too sweet for me.

Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions. So many have recommended the cookie butter, but I am wondering, do you eat it plain or on something?

I haven't checked, but someone said there are recipes online. I put cookie butter on pretzels. I know I'm in the minority but I am not a big fan of the cookie butter. To me it's just okay.
