I love Trader Joe’s.
No really, I love, LOVE it.
Walking up and down the aisles, checking out all of the colorful, happy products.
Deciding between one brand of coconut milk and another.
And with such a great price?!
I’m in pure bliss.
And yesterday, I was able to stop by my little slice of heaven and couldn’t resist picking up some new goodies.
I decided to trade in my favorite pumpkin butter for some honey apple butter. This switch is me trying to overcome my delicious-meal-overkilling nature. 
My thoughts? It’s pretty good and I’m glad for a change of pace, but I like my pumpkin butter better. What can I say? I like what I like.
The boy is coming into town today for The Citizen Cope concert tonight! Since he’ll be spending the night, I’ve decided to surprise him by making him this delicious french toast recipe (hence, the sourdough bread) along with a side of bacon (The boy loves to eat his meals with sweet and savory at the same time).
I also bought the dark chocolate pomegranate seeds for the boy…okay, okay maybe for me too.
As for the Espresso coffee, I was talked into this purchase! I love lattes but can’t afford Starbucks every day. Sad, I know. The sweet lady at the check out line was raving about this espresso flavored coffee she just bought here. When she mentioned the price was the same as the coffee I was currently purchasing, I had a knee jerk reaction and ran and switched out the bags.
The verdict? SO GOOD!! It gives I’ll my daily iced coffee drink a rich, bold flavor similar to that of an espresso-based drink. This FOR SURE will be a regular in my coffee stock pile.
Food for Thought:
What are some of your favorite Trader Joe’s products?
Mmmmm another way you’re a girl after my own heart
TJs is my favorite store and i went last night too! I also love those choco pom seeds and pumpkin butter but they’re power berries are my addiction (i always have a bag in my freezer 
) i love their hummus, greek froyo, trail mixes, pb pretzels,’cookie butter, many variety of choco, choco fruit, choco nuts, etc and ginger tea too. And i just discovered plantain chips last night..omg they’re amazing! I really want to try their fig butter too
Haha I actually stared at that Fig butter for five minutes debating on whether I wanted to try it or not! Looks like next time I’ll just have to. This is a sign.
Meep. I MISS TJ’S SO MUCH! I was obsessed with their unsalted almond butter, sweet potato chips, pumpkin pancake mix, pumpkin butter, cranapple butter, peanut butter cups, English muffins, Santa Fe salad, hummus combo platters, I’m pretty sure I could keep going with all my faves!
Ps I just came across your blog from BBB and love it!
I’m so sorry you have to live life without TJs!! Now it’s in my life, I don’t think I can ever go back. I’m OBSESSED with pancakes and pumpkin, not to mention sweet potatoes, any kind of butter, and hummus. You seem to have a VERY similar pallet to mine!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I can’t wait to check out yours!
I MISS TJ’S SO MUCH! I was obsessed with sweet potato chips, pumpkin butter, pumpkin pancake mix, hummus variety platters, Santa Fe salad, English muffins, maple syrup, gah I could go on forever!

I totally love exploring TJ’s! So much fun. French toast with that bread sounds amazing!
I’m definitely excited to try that recipe! I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes
holy moses I am jealous. I wish I lived closer to a trader joes, I want one to go to! I will have to go when I am home on break
Definitely go to one when you’re home and stock up! That way you can have the happiness of TJs for a longer time.
I can’t wait until we get a trader joes by me. Nothing yet in utah.
I have family that lives in Utah and they said that they’re actually getting one in Salt Lake City by the end of this year! You’re about to be in TJ heaven!!
