Ok, I admit it, I have a slight  serious love affair with Trader Joes. It is the best option to help keep me healthy and fiscally responsible (really, you can’t beat the price.) Also, some people give the produce a bad rap, but from personal experience I am a fan!

Here are my “must have” trader Joe’s items.

Haricot Vert (bagged string beans)
