As a dietitian, some of the best things I got at Trader Joe's this year include the organic toasted-sesame dressing and Silver Goat chèvre.

Unlike a lot of Trader Joe’s frozen food, there’s noticeable flavor here: Lemongrass! Ginger! The texture can vary depending on how you cook them, but in the oven, flipping halfway, mine turned out browned and bouncy.

This easy to navigate dairy-free shopping list includes 500+ items you can buy at Trader Joe's, organized by section!

Consider buying these Trader Joe's spreads for a classic sweet-and-savory flavor combo that's perfect for both casual snacks and fancy charcuterie boards.

Admittedly, shortbread initially didn't seem like the most outstanding dessert to me—it sounded too simple to be worth giving much thought. Then, my friend Yana convinced me otherwise. She introduced me to the marvelous combination of shortbread and chocolate and I'm now forever changed.
