Great Finds from Trader Joe's

I've been eating the Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats from Trader Joe's lately and I have to say, they're fantastic. You may have tried steel cut oats before (McCann's, for instance) and given up on them because they take a heck of a long time to make. Like half an hour. McCann's require lots of attention, too, because boil overs are inevitable if you turn your back on the pot.

Not so with TJ's Quick Cook kind. They're ready to eat in eight minutes, and that includes a minute of sitting. They're chewy, nutty, the texture way ahead of Quaker. I eat mine with raisins and banana slices, and 2% milk.

Get over to your local Trader Joe's and try some of these (oh, and they're super cheap, too, under $3.00 for a container).

I hear their burritos are really good, and that their frozen pizzas are even worth a try.
