FH and I love it! It's sooo cheap too. I love the flat pretzel chips and hummus. I am also loving the frozen stir fry meals you can get there. Oh, and the gnocci!

Their Italian sodas - lemon, grapefruit, orange.
Absolutely yummy with ice cold vodka.

The Berry Charlotte Torte in the freezer section.
Just defrost and serve with whipped cream.
I've got one in the freezer ........
The Vienesse lemon tart in the bakery section.

Can you tell I have a sweet tooth ?

The Indian food is really good with their naan and the india relish. And the crab cakes are completely worth the trip alone. Also, the chili and mini pitas, and the microwaveable fried rice.

OH! I almost forgot - the soy and flaxseed tortilla chips with the black bean & corn salsa. mmmmmmmm......I can't wait until I'm not on a wedding diet.

I like their single mini pizzas. Come 4 in a box and only 250 calories per mini. That's better than the 400+ in supermarket ones.

Good prices too for Ghirardelli break up chocolate. I think it's 3.49/lb and goood chocolate, milk and dark.

NY Cheesecake terrific too.

Talking of desserts . . .
Ever hear of outlet store called Love and Quiches?
They have all sorts of cheesecakes layercakes And yes quiche. All frozen. I think they might be seconds but prices are low and everything I've had is good especially caramel apple cheesecake and chocolate truffle cake. It's on Freeport on Henry St betw Sunrise and Merrick rd.
