Trader Joe's Fall Haul

There's not much I love more than a run to Trader Joe's during the months of September, October, November and December. I took  a trip to Trader Joe's to stock up on our favorite fall items and wanted to share my haul. Basically the name of the game was "if it has the words apple or pumpkin on it, it goes it the cart. Haha! Here are some of the items we picked up:


Trader Joe's has a really delicious maple syrup. I use it in a variety of recipes this time of year!


These little cookies are quite delightful. They aren't overwhelmingly pumpkin but they definitely have a pumpkin spice flavor. 

Yes, yes, yes. I put some of this Honey Crisp Granola over their vanilla bean yogurt and loved it. 


I tried this soup for the first time last year and was a huge fan. I love to divide the jar between two containers, and voila! Lunch is served for the next two days. 


Now these donuts are yummy, but they aren't going to be able to compete with apple cider donuts purchased from an apple orchard. If you aren't taking a trip to an apple orchard this fall, these will make a good stand-in option. 


I got this dressing to serve with my salads I packed for work this week. Super yummy!


Our dog comes sprinting when I shake this bag of treats so they must be delicious. Haha! I love that our dogs can also enjoy pumpkin flavored treats. 


These little pretzels are the perfect sweet/salty combination. They are very small, which is dangerous because the serving size isn't huge. They're still a win in my book!


I've never purchased Trader Joe's Pepper Jelly, but I heard it was one of their best seasonal items so I bought three jars. Haha! 


How cute are these little hot chocolate spoons? I bought three and think they would make a precious teacher gift, alongside some other goodies. 


My, oh my. Why haven't I tried this before?! It's a yummy sweet/salty/spicy snack mix and I absolutely gobbled it up. I totally wish I had bought a few more bags!



This is also a great find! It's a fruit and vegetable wash that makes washing produce a breeze. Typically I fill a large mixing bowl with water and a few squirts of this soap. You should see how yucky the water is by the time I'm finished washing our produce for the week!


This was another yummy buy! I really loved it as an afternoon snack alongside a La Croix. 

What else did I miss?! I'd love to hear your seasonal favorites from Trader Joe's.

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. πŸ˜‰ D...
