Friday Favorites

Is this anyone else today?

Since today’s Friday Favorites falls on October 1st, we figured we should share favorites from one our favorite places to travel to during the fall-Trader Joes. You BETTEr believe there will be at least one pumpkin item.

Oof. This stuff makes your toast taste like autumn and is one of my favorite things they have this time of year.

I picked this up on a whim, and I don’t really know why since I loathe ginger. I like this though. It adds a kick to a salad.

I love their jarred soups to have for lunch in a pinch. This one has been a favorite for a while, and the kale one was a new surprise. I haven’t tried it yet, but I have high hopes.

Who knew I’d like a salsa with apples and squash?

This is as close to fresh squeezed as you can get from the grocery store. It’s not pumpkin flavored, but it’s a delight.

I haven’t had a bagel in so long and grabbed these, and they taste like a real, gluten-filled bagel. God bless America.

You know what that bagel needs? This pumpkin butter atop it. It’s my favorite, and I shmear it on any carb that’ll stand still.

Caroline and I are basically George Costanza.

I love a soup and sandwich combo, and this soup is one of my favorites. Heat it up. Make a grilled cheese and live your best autumn life. Tomato? Pumpkin? Butternut squash? The gang’s all here.

I have a cup of tea every night before bed. This started when I studied aboard in New Zealand, and the family I stayed with would all have a cup of tea or Milo (basically hot chocolate) and a small dessert before they turned in. And my tea changes with the seasons. This is my favorite one. It is like a liquid version of the fall section of Hobby Lobby.

May your PSLs be strong and your pumpkin patches be plentiful.
