Butternut Squash Mac n’ Cheese

Hands down the champion frozen macaroni and food ever created. It’s creamy, the pasta is perfectly cooked, and the spirit isn’t overpowering. If you spot this successful stock, drawback it.

Pumpkin Pancake Mix

Amazing for repast prep!

Maple Oat Beverage

FYI, this is beauteous sweet. My favourite mode to usage it is successful oatmeal.

I fell successful emotion with these past year! They’re lukewarm (temperature lukewarm and spirit warm) and perfectly spicy.

New Fall Items (New-new and caller to me)

I emotion a bully sensation test.

Roasted Cauliflower and Orzo

This 1 met my expectations, meaning I’m usually disappointed erstwhile we sub cauliflower for rice…or successful this case, orzo. It wasn’t bad, but the cauliflower texture was a small mushy.

Murasaki Sweet Potatoes

I cognize these aren’t exclusive to autumn oregon adjacent Trader Joe’s but they are exotic enough that they’re not a communal market store find present successful Indiana. I chopped these into wedges and roasted them with salt, pepper, and paprika and they were *chef’s kiss*.

Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Cakes

Kelsey from Trader Joe’s Food Reviews gave these a 9.5/10, truthful I had to get some. I haven’t tried them yet but I’m beauteous assured they’re going to beryllium delicious.

The autumn items astatine Trader Joe’s different radical emotion and I consciousness much so-so about. I mightiness bargain them if I spot them, but I mightiness not. Depends connected my temper portion I shop!

Pumpkin Bagels

Don’t travel for me! These are good, but I bought 2 bags past twelvemonth and burnt myself retired beauteous quickly. I’d alternatively person a plain bagel, with the pumpkin pick food (wait, this should beryllium connected the must-buy list).

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Croissants

These ARE bully and worthy a bargain astatine slightest once. But the container lone contains 2 and that conscionable moves them down my precedence list.

Frozen Pumpkin Waffles

These are fine, but thing compared to the GF Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix.

Funny story. I bought a container of these, wholly forgetting that I didn’t emotion them past year. Someone volition devour them and beingness volition spell on, but I privation I had grabbed the Salted Maple oregon Pumpkin Ice Cream instead.

Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels

They were sampling these successful my store during my sojourn and they were good, but not mindblowing. I skipped them this time!
