The Best Lunch Items
- Emily enjoys devouring the spinach and mushrooms mmmpanadas at H-E-B on her lunch break.
- City Cast Houston host Raheel Ramzanali is a big fan of the Mandarin Orange Chicken from Trader Joe’s that you can quickly bake in the oven. It became his family’s comfort food during COVID.

The Best Meals For Kids
- You can’t go wrong with the Texas-shaped chicken nuggets at H-E-B.
- Emily also makes the sweet potato gnocchi from Trader Joe’s for her twins.
- The sheet pan meals at H-E-B are quick and easy for families, especially the tasty chicken fajita meal.
My Favorite Frozen Meals
- During COVID, I stumbled upon California Pizza Kitchen’s margherita pizza at H-E-B and my life hasn’t been the same.
- Once you try the steamable fried rice at H-E-B, you’ll keep adding it as a side dish to your dinners.
- I’m a Southern gal who grew up eating fried okra, and this Southern Breaded Okra at H-E-B always soothes my cravings.
