I bought some Trader Joe's Jasmine Rice as a quick way to cook up some white rice.
The box comes with three frozen pouches of rice, and I followed the instructions on the box and microwaved one of the pouches for 3 minutes.
The rice isn't a sticky rice, and it wasn't mushy or hard and came out perfectly cooked. It was perfect as a side of rice for two people.
A package of this ricotta and spinach ravioli from Trader Joe's was kept in the freezer (since the package says to keep it frozen), and when I opened the package I noticed there was a lot of ice inside.
When I cooked it, I followed the microwave instructions and heated it up for a total of 7 minutes.
The tomato sauce just tasted like an average tomato and garlic sauce, but it was a little bit watery (probably due to that ice). The inside of the ravioli had a neutral taste (not a strong cheese or spinach taste), which was OK with me.
Although it was a little bit watery, it was still good enough that I was able to eat the whole thing.

I tried some of this light vegetable soup because I was sick with a cold.
Just like with their chicken noodle soup, the noodles (spiral pasta) were OK, but all the vegetables seemed to just dissolve in my mouth. The soup had a strong, sour tomato taste that got worse as I ate more so I didn't really care much for it.
