The Frozen Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Samosas were really nice and crunchy and had a mild tikka masala taste. They weren't soft and mushy on the outside like many other frozen samosas. They were probably the best frozen chicken samosas I have had... delicious!

For our Valentine's Day dinner, we cooked some frozen Chilean Sea Bass (aka Patagonian Toothfish) from AJ's and had it with French green beans and a French baguette from Trader Joe's.
How we cooked the 1 lb of Chilean Sea Bass:
We cooked the fish in a foil pan and also covered the pan with more foil. We cooked it on a 3-burner gas grill with the grill cover closed for about 8 minutes (4 minutes on each side). We put it on top of the middle burner which was off, while the left and right burners were on high. The sea bass was delicious. It was very soft, moist, and flaky. It was probably the tastiest fish I have ever had. It also had a strong fishy smell, which I love.
Trader Joe's French Green Beans (Haricot Vert):
We microwaved all 24 oz of the French green beans in a bowl on high for a total of 6 minutes (stirring it a little bit after 4 minutes). We also sprayed a little bit of PAM butter flavor spray on them. They came out tasting slightly sweet, crunchy, and delicious.
Trader Joe's French Baguette:
Unfortunately, the French baguette tasted more bland compared to other french breads/baguettes I have had. The texture of the bread was hard on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside, but it basically tasted like Wonder Bread with a hard crust to me.
The Trader Joe's Mango & Cream bars had a nice, sweet mango taste, but the mango taste was not super strong. The bars were pretty small and not your regular size ice cream bar or popsicle. The white part of the bar is the cream part, and it tasted like a cream sickle. The mango taste with the cream taste was pretty good together.
One negative thing about the mango bars is that they can be a little messy, and my fingers were a little sticky afterward.
