This pro knows TJs, and these are the foods she buys month after month.

Trader Joes has a well-deserved and loyal fan base, and Im a proud member of the club.

My shopping list at Trader Joes is nearly identical month after month (kindly dont discontinue anything, TJs!

), but I admit I almost always end up walking out with something new that caught my eye.

Greek Chickpeas with Cumin and Parsley

This can of flavor-blasted chickpeas is an underrated gem.

Packed with protein and fiber, they make a wholesome addition to your diet.

Their versatility makes them a must-have in our pantry.

Harvest Blend Grain Mix

This is my go-to for the base of a hearty grain bowl.

This grain mix is the perfect vehicle for whatever leftovers you have waiting around in the fridge.

Its great to make ahead for lunches for the whole family.

I typically make it with chicken stock for a little extra flavor!

It could go on just about anything, but my personal favorite is on egg sandwiches and breakfast tacos.

That being said, I cant think of much that wouldnt benefit from a scoop of this.

Its a spicy, cilantro-based Middle Eastern sauce.

In the container, it kind of looks like pesto, but the taste is completely different.

In my home, we mostly use it on eggs and sandwiches, but the skys the limit.

Ive mixed it with whole-milk plain yogurt for a milder dipping sauce, too.

My go-tos are organic black beans, chickpeas and great northern beans.

While these arent a complete meal, they are a fun addition to one.

Then I add a little water and cover the pan so they steam.

We use these for breakfast tacos (more often for dinner than for breakfast!)

with scrambled eggs, avocado and some sharp Cheddar cheese.

These tortillas are really tasty for quick clear-out-the-fridge quesadillas.

Just store the tortillas in the fridge to extend their shelf life so theyre ready when you need them!

I was at a Halloween party where these were served with chili.

The reaction among the guests was hilariously passionate.

People love these things!
