Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken

This is one of Trader Joe’s best-selling items (and that’s saying a lot). Though you have to do a little extra work for this dish — heating the chicken and sauce separately — it’s absolutely worth it. Served with ready-made brown rice and some frozen Trader Joe’s stir-fry vegetables, this is faster, cheaper and (a bit) healthier than takeout.

Trader Joe’s Meat Lasagna 

TJ’s version of this classic comfort food contains creamy ricotta, tangy tomato sauce and plenty of ground beef and pork seasoned with onion and garlic. It’s topped with the three cheeses you’d expect — mozzarella, Romano and Parmesan — and is a great and quick answer to a hungry chorus of “what's for dinner?”
