I looked it up, as well. The just list “spices” so imagine any combination could be possible. I’ll look for it at US Foods.

It's a McCormick product.

I got four bottles of rubs for Christmas. I should be using them.

Yeah, me, too! I usually just use them when I BBQ, but they are good grilling, too!

Definitely new to me ! LOL!

While we were in Paris, my cousin stayed here with the dogs, and her 11 year old son. They got a Florida vacation and I got a trustworthy dog sitter. She was complaining that she wanted her son to eat something besides chicken fingers, hot dogs, and spaghetti.

Guess what I found in my freezer after she left? This was a 3 lb bag, and about half full. If she wants her kid to quit eating these, maybe she should quit buying them!

I thawed them in the microwave and scraped off all the breading. The results were amazing. I weighed the chicken - a whole 5 ounces! I thought I’d cook up a real chicken breast and add this to make a curried chicken salad.

 

[SilverSage]

By amazing, I didn’t mean good. I was amazed at how little meat was under all that breading. It has to be the most expensive 5 ounces of chicken ever!

Stopped at Trader Joe's and picked up a bunch of new to us things. I'll post them as I use them.

Tonight was Trader Joe's herb salad mix and Green goddess dressing. They were pretty good.

 

[lilbopeep]

Trader Joe's orange chicken and vegetable fried rice. They were pretty easy to prepare. They were good, but not spectacular. I really wasn't hungry. I'll have to give it another try. Next time I make the rice, I may add diced red pork and a broken up scrambled egg.

 

[lilbopeep]

Again they were good, but not spectacular. They had a very strong mushroom flavor.

Some more Trader Joe products. We really liked these.

Once I got the chance to go to the grocery today, I got these two.
I've been wanting to try a different salsa.
The beans are Chief supermarket store brand.
I'll use the salsa with chicken tacos and chips.

 

[Ironman]

That reminds me, I need to grab some baked beans for an baked beans with apple filling recipe. Lol

I love desert pepper. I bought some black bean salsa a few days ago. Good stuff.

I think this is what she had in mind.

I got this at Costco the other day. Tonight Nancy is going to make a polenta dish wit marinara and salami so will use this. Of course, the marina is being made with sauce she made from our tomatoes today.

Taste it before putting it in your pasta sauce. I haven't had beef summer sausage in years, and can't imagine it in a pasta sauce.

You're brave to even try canned smoked trout, Peep! I might try it now that you've approved!
