  7. Looking forward to your TJ's review - always wanting to hear hits and misses! Try the Trader Joes' Kung Pao Chicken from the frozen food section. I add an extra cup or so of frozen broccoli to the veggie mix, but it's seriously delish! (oh and make some rice to go with) Covers our takeout cravings for a fraction of the price. Love it!
