Back when I had posted these lists on 6/5/08, I had asked the question, "What are your favorite Trader Joe's products?" No one had responded, but I now have 2 products that I'd like mention:
1) Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo - Several times now, as I am purchasing Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo at the register, a cashier will comment on how good this stuff is. Not only that, but it is also really easy to prepare. At first, I tried to cook it all crazy with onions, garlic, green onions, and so on, but now my family and I have realized that it tastes best prepared in the following way for breakfast: Mix it with crumbled pieces of extra firm tofu like Trader Joe's High Protein Organic Super Firm Tofu at about a 1:1 ratio, (adjust to your taste). Then fry the mixture in a pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray for a couple of minutes. That's it. I don't even add salt and pepper. If you accidentally overcook it, I have found that the best way to salvage it and put some moisture back in, is to add some white vinegar.
2) Trader Joe's Sliced Jalapeno Yogurt Cheese - This cheese is, of course, with microbial enzymes and appears to have 1 gram less fat than regular cheese per slice. It melts wonderfully on top of nachos or inside of enchiladas.
Do you have any products you like? C'mon people, I know you have some. :)

Thanks Tina, what exactly is the Island Soyaki? Some sort of soy sauce?
