Happy Fall to all! I am crazy about the season of autumn leaves, orange hues and pumpkin spice everything. It is definitely my favorite time of year. Fittingly, I have listed the 5 best products available at Trader Joe’s right now for the season. Nearly all retail stores step right into fall pretty prominently, but Trader Joe’s leads the pack.
Ok, so let me get this out of the way right now…I love Trader Joe’s. There I said it. Now you will understand when I frequently talk about their products in my blog posts. This is not a sponsored post nor did I receive any compensation at all. I just love to share products that I find enjoyable. And here they are…
Trader Joe’s Autumnal Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce & Fall Zucchette Pasta
This delightful pairing is literally fall on a plate, which is why Autumnal Harvest Sauce & Fall Zucchette Pasta made the top of the list! How adorable is pumpkin-shaped pasta anyway? The chewy, little shapes are made from wheat semolina and butternut squash.
Topping your fall zucchette with the creamy pasta sauce is literally a match made in Trader Joe’s heaven. The sauce’s key players are pumpkin and butternut squash, of course, with the perfect amount of seasoning.
Sprinkle grated Romano cheese over the top of each serving and you have a quick, easy and satisfying seasonal dinner for four.
TJ’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Mix
What a great new item making its debut in the baking aisle this year. I was looking for the pumpkin bread mix, but instead found Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Mix. Just add butter, egg and water – everything else is in the box!
If you have kids, this is the perfect pre-measured mix to make with your little bakers. One package produces approximately 24 cookies, so a batch makes enough to bring to fall social functions as well.
The spicy aroma of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves floats throughout the house while baking, adding to the appeal. Naturally this product has become my new annual must-buy.
Trader Joe’s Apple Caramel Greek Yogurt
Who doesn’t love caramel apples, but it isn’t always possible to get one when the taste arises. So I was thrilled to find apple caramel yogurt sitting on the dairy shelf. Here’s why it made the list…
This is Greek-style yogurt which isn’t extremely sweet even with the hints of caramel. It is made with whole milk from cows NOT treated with rBST, so it is thick and creamy without harmful growth hormones. And the very best part are the diced cinnamon apple pieces blended right in.
Trader Joe’s Sparkling Green Apple Mineral Water
This past year, I too have become a fan of the increasingly popular sparkling water phenomenon. More and more brands are coming up with unique flavors that seem to be popping up on store shelves everywhere. And of course, Trader Joe’s is right there along with ’em. This one is especially crisp and refreshing, reminding me of a green apple jolly rancher.
Just like I identified TJ’s Winter Sangria Sparkling Water with Christmastime, Green Apple is now my seasonal hydrator…or at least until there is a pumpkin spice flavor.
Well, that’s all until my next shopping quest. Be sure to head on over to your local Trader Joe’s right now to grab these great seasonal items before they disappear just like summer did.
