My 2 newly discovered Trader Joe finds

Seriously, I can't get enough of this.. 
I don't like things hot, so to me this has just the right amount of spice. It's great with tacos, eggs, chips, raw vegetables, etc.
Only 30 calories per 2 T. No preservatives or enhancers or other junk.
Look at these simple ingredients:
black beans, water, tomato paste, onion, distilled vinegar, honey, salt, jalapeno, spices, garlic.


And this one is equally as good but in a different way.
For example, one night this week I served this over fish and it was DELISH. .
And then another evening, we had this Pineapple salsa over tacos.
I can't see eating it with chips as it's a rather sweet flavor. 
I've also heard you can marinate chicken in it and then grill or bake it, although I haven't tried it that way yet.

I shop Trader Joes more than anywhere else.
But it would be worth it to me to make a trip there just for these two items!
Although it might be a bit far if I lived in Utah.

I have been missing a lot in this last week! First of all, I'm glad Baby Rich is doing well. I hope he gets to come home soon!
I didn't realize the DIY girls were Dennis's daughters! They're so fun to watch and I learn so much from them.
These Trader Joe's concoctions look mighty tasty!
Hope your day is going well.

We love that pineapple salsa, but I haven't tried the bean dip. Looks yummy.

I shop at Trader Joe's frequently. Love that store.

So glad to hear Richie is home now! Also like Trader Joes. You always have interesting things to share. I wish the wheat rolls were back--think we have to wait for Christmas time. Love, Dad and Susan

I actually got that one time back when you would take us on Trader Joe's shopping sprees when we came home over the summers. It was really good!

Your dad made a trip to Trader Joes and came home with the two aforementioned salsas! Trader Joes should hire you. He likes them. I'm thinking about it. Maybe if I have some of each on scrambled eggs I'll be able to decide better. Dad and Susan

Those are good finds! I had THE BEST fish taco's with Jacki in Seattle (where she will live starting 9.1.11. We went to a little stand where you can sit outside & see the bay & people watch! THe tacos were smothered in Mango Salsa. YUM! It was a black rock fish taco whatever that is but the fish was white & firm. A couple of people came up to me & asked, "Hey what are you eating?" Next thing I know, every one at their table beside us comes back with an order of my taco! I ate 2. LOL
