chicken tikka masala is really terrific; you may want 2 for one dinner.
I also love their steak and bean burritos but i do add more steak to them- either ours, leftover from another dinner, or purchased from our Whole Foods' Prepared Foods counter. The bag of frozen Mushroom Fetuccini Nests is great; just add some sherry to it and cook down, and for protein, add leftover cooked beef or shredded poultry.
I love the Orange Chicken with some of their frozen, microwaveable brown rice. I always toss some broccoli florets in with the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking time.
you can also head over to chow.com - they start a Trader Joe's Yay/Nay thread every month so you can get a good idea of what is good and what is not. Here's the one for September http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/915283
I would buy a package of their fresh pasta and some parm or other grating cheese. Cook the pasta and toss with olive oil, cheese, some fresh herbs, salt and pepper, and your done.
I like their peppers stuffed with rice and turkey. You will find them in the fresh area near the salads (not frozen). They are pretty healthy (no added sugar that i know of) and you can heat them in the microwave. Throw together a quick salad and you have dinner for 2 in 5 minutes in a pinch.
