Hi Friends! Thanks for stopping by. This weekend I had the luxury of sneaking in a quick trip to Trader Joe's. Once Eva's hockey game was over, I had some time to kill before my open house and all three places are in the same area here in NH so I was happy to head to one of my favorite places.
I stocked up on some fall goodies and I am going to share them with you today.
I think the theme this time was "fall fun"...I'm thinking a night with besties with wine and snacks or when I may be putting together a charcuterie for a fall get together...anyway, I digress. Here is what I snagged
Pepper Jelly
One of the easiest and yummies apps to whip up is as follows: Put a brick of cream cheese on a platter. Top it with one jar of pepper jelly. Serve with crackers- delish and perfect for fall
Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps
They have different flavors of these crackers every season but the pumpkin ones are always my fave in the fall- just the right amount of crunch, spiciness and sweetness!
Stilton with Apple and Pear
and I thought this cheese sounded the like the perfect accompaniment and a great flavor for fall
Maple Spiced Mixed Nuts
Oh this gem sounds like the perfect addition to any fall charcuterie
Check out the goodies in this mixture- rosemary pecans, pepitas, almonds and sweetened cranberries- yes please!
Pepita Salsa
and speaking of pepitas, I thought this salsa would be the perfect accompaniment to the famous Fall Leaf Tortilla Chips
These chips are loved by all- adults and kids alike!
Wine
and to go with these lovely little apps and snacks, you can always score dynamite deals on wine there. I snagged two bottles and they were $7.99 each!
First a great, buttery Chardonnay that I have loved before
Churn
and our fave Pinot Noir
Meiomi
Harvest Chocolates
and if you are looking for dessert, these little chocolates look so pretty on a board or platter or whatever- they are so pretty and festive and delish too!
Organic Yogurt Smoothies
and Eva demanded the TJ's smoothies again so I grabbed a little pack- she loves having these with breakfast
So nice little haul..there were a few old favorites I didn't see but might check for once more this fall like the Cornbread Crisps, Harvest Salsa, Cinnamon Toscano Cheese and the Pumpkin Ravioli :) What have you been snagging at TJ's lately? Entertain me please :)
I was not planning on going to Trader Joe´s anytime soon (we don´t have one super near us) but now all bets are off! That nut mix, those chips and the salsa- me want! I have never had pepper jelly but I am *pretty sure* that I would love it! Simple appetizers are my jam (no pun intended!) so I really want to get some of the jelly and try it over cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, I don't like pumpkin flavored things (besides pumpkin pie) but those pumpkin cranberry crisps look so good. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabulous haul!
ReplyDeleteThese all look so good! I just went and picked up fun little snacks for care packages for the kids.
ReplyDeleteSome yummy looking treats! I'd love the apple and stilton combo and I'm also a fan of the pepper jelly app. Now I want to make a fall charcuterie board. We don't have a TJ nearby, but there's one in the nearby city where I go to Costco. I'm usually too worn out from Costco to go one more place, but maybe I'll plan on that next time.
ReplyDeleteHi. Great finds. I also love the pepita salsa. In addition to Churn try the Rebuttal chardonnay. It's an every day fave in our house.

Those little chocolates would be so cute for everyone's place holder at Thanksgiving! Trader Joe's really shines at fall. I want to try that cheese the most I think.
ReplyDeleteSo many great finds! I went yesterday and picked up a few odds and ends.
