The 30 best items of the new Whole Foods 365

We tend not to make a lot of fish at home because we hate the hassle, but these fillets went from the pan to the plate in under 15 minutes, perfect with a green salad on a hot summer night. 

A filling salad with a hot Dijon mustard kick, this makes a great main for lunch or a side with dinner. 

A quality cut of skirt steak in a bright chimichurri sauce grills up quickly either on the stove top or over outside flames. Juicy and tender, this is perfect with roasted peppers and onions. 

Our house couldn't get enough of these easy-to-cook boneless short ribs with the right amount of spicy and sweet, especially when served with a stir-fried vegetables. 

Bacon, cheddar cheese and jalapeños make for a pub burger at home for a quarter of the price. Worried about wasting leftover buns? We're big fans of using English muffins for our burgers so a pack never goes to waste. 

We weren't allowed to have "sugar cereals" when were kids, so imagine our surprise that you could have a tasty chocolate treat for breakfast without the guilt. Millennials eat less cereal than their older peers, but maybe that will change once they learn you can splurge on some fun. 

Many sports drinks are loaded down with calories and salt, but this refreshing sports drink was just what we needed on one of L.A.'s hot, sunny days without the guilt. 

These meaty burgers have a fair amount of crispy bacon and cheddar in them, making them perfect for a late-afternoon grilling treat for summer. 

Our roots are in Pittsburgh, so our hearts always sing when we find fresh pierogies we like. These ones have a rich cheddar flavor and a soft dough. Don't tell anyone, but these are some of the best pierogies we've had that we didn't make from scratch ourselves. 

Healthier chips for snacking that are high in fiber and low in salt that still taste good? We may never go back to regular chips again. 

Another hit for the prepped meat department, these black pepper sirloin beef skewers take a short time to cook and have a rich, beefy taste with just the right amount of pep. Serve with fajitas over a wild rice pilaf for dinner in a flash. 

A plain strip steak may not seem that exciting, but we found this petite cut perfect for searing and slicing with fajita-style vegetables to make dinner for two both satisfying and reasonably priced compared to our usual organic butcher. 

Sometimes you just want a slice, but you want something different than your usual pepperoni and cheese for a quick lunch to go. Oftentimes pesto pizza can feel heavy and greasy, but we found this particular pizza filling without weighing us down. At $2.50 a slice, we've done worse running errands around town. 

Ice cream and gelato often tend to be where our grocery budget falls apart; even the smallest containers get expensive very quickly. Not only is this real Italian gelato, but the large 30-ounce container means we can have a sweet dessert over the course of a week without breaking the bank. 

Another entry in the quick and easy breakfast — or even lunch or dinner — we've been known to grab for a bowl of cereal anytime we're in a rush. The peanut butter wasn't overly sweet, and the cocoa was the right amount of depth to balance out the bowl. 

Sure, a to-go salad for dinner or lunch is fine, but some days you're a little extra snacky. We found these mini-bags of black pepper and sea salt potato chips were the perfect contrast to a healthy lunch without undoing all the good; a little indulgence goes a long way. 

Don't let the small size fool you — this couscous almondine salad fluffs up to be a side for four people once out the container. While we wish the olive oil maybe had a touch of pepper or dried oregano to help perk up the cucumbers and tomatoes, it's still a super easy compliment to any grilled meal.  

We didn't have a lot of success with the fresh salsas in the refrigerated case, but no matter. This jarred hatch chile salsa hits the right note of heat without being overwhelmingly hot while still delivering a full tomato taste.  

Did we already mention we love pierogies and consider ourselves experts in the holy union of potato and pasta in some carb-on-carb love? Well, we are. Very rare is the prepared pierogi that not only has a full cheesy taste with tender pasta that tastes like it just came from the kitchen. Adding a kick of jalapeño makes these some of the best we've had outside of homemade — who are we kidding, these are better.  

The national trend of Korean fusion was born right here in the streets of L.A., so it's fun to see a mix-up of two of our favorite foods, bulgogi and pizza, together on a rich pie.  

While not new to the Whole Foods 365, we've come to rely on these bites when we need a filling snack watching TV when we're not quite hungry for dinner but need something more filling than popcorn. The tandori chicken has the right amount of seasoning without being overwhelmingly spicy. 

The new WH 365 has a few different take-and-bake pizza options — veggie supreme, pepperoni, meat supreme — but the cheese pizza with almost an obscene amount of cheese is what won our hearts. A nicely balanced blend of cheese that doesn't get too oily when baked is heaven when you want something warm, gooey and melty. Did we mention that it reheats beautifully?

We like snacks that make us look fancy to our vegetarian friends, and these mini quiches pair well with summery cocktails on the patio. 

There are just not enough good things to say about the new WH 365 prepped meats department. These sriracha soy chicken skewers had a nice amount of heat and took absolutely no time in the oven. Try pairing with our next suggestion, pad thai. 

We were skeptical of frozen pad thai, but this was the most successful of the frozen noodle dishes, especially when served with the sriracha soy chicken skewers. 

These spicy wasabi rice crackers are so addicting we had to hide the package from our family members or they would have disappeared in minutes, leaving none for us. 

Generally, we're not impressed with frozen pizzas, but the combination of rich feta, salty olives and spinach made this pizza a fun addition to game night snacking, especially when served with spinach and cheese spanakopita. 

As much we love pierogies, we love a good, flaky, cheesy spanakopita. We've found most frozen variations don't match homemade, but these really let the spinach shine through. 

While we were not a fan of the other breakfast taco offerings at the coffee bar, the bean and potato tacos were the carb and protein meal we needed after a long night out at the bar. 

In the middle of a hot summer, few things are as refreshing as a frozen fruit bar, and at 70 calories a pop, guilt-free. Try dunking one in your margarita next time you grill!
