A few Trader Joe's product reviews!

"This entrée embodies elegance, dynamism, and deliciousness… and, perhaps, most unexpectedly – ease. Our Pork Roast Florentine is a boneless pork roast that’s layered with ricotta & feta cheeses, roasted red bell peppers, spinach and then rolled into a beautiful spiral. It’s frozen while raw to preserve freshness & flavor, so when you are ready to impress, simply cook it in the oven (about 40 min), slice, place on serving plate and drizzle with the irresistible roasted garlic rosemary sauce that accompanies it. And at $8.99 for a 1 lb 3.5 oz container (serves 3-4), it also embodies great value."-from traderjoes.com

This was ABSOLUTELY delish. It took twice as long to cook as recommended on the package, but worth the wait. My first comment was: it actually tastes like spinach. So often premade meals with spinach lose the flavor entirely, but this worked!

This one, non-fat plain frozen yogurt, not so much. Despite the cute packaging, the "pleasantly" tart is a little exaggerated. More like, just tart. YJDKIY generally likes less sweet, but I couldn't handle this without much toppings, thereby defeating the healthy aspect. I could see it added to smoothies in the summer, or softened and mixed with stuff. But, it'll probably be sitting in the freezer UNTIL summer!

YUM! By far my favorite product and delivered for Valentines with the good brand (yes that is the ONLY product I endorse despite it being local) of froyo. This box mix was pretty healthy since it was made with plain non-fat yogurt!
