The Amount of Pumpkin In This Post Is Ridiculous

Mannnn, it is a gloomy day out there today.

(Notice the closed up pool, changing leaves, and leaves in the yard…fall is definitely here!) Luckily, the rain didn’t really start up until after I got home this afternoon, which was much appreciated.

After a quick stop at the post office to mail out some LOVE to the lucky giveaway winners, I made the trip on over to Trader Joe’s. I didn’t really have much of a list of things that I knew I wanted, buuuuuut I managed to pick up quite a few goodies of the pumpkin variety. Winking smile

Canned pumpkin, pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter, pumpkin spice chai tea latte mix, and the two non-pumpkin items…tortilla chips and cat cookies. Because I’m obsessed with those too.

I’m pretty pumped about my purchases; especially the pumpkin soup and pumpkin spice chai latte mix, since I’ve never tried those before. You can expect to see some updates on those soon, I’m sure.

On my way back home I made a quick pit stop…

Not only did I have a $1.00 off coupon from my last trip, but I also had a gift card so this glorious pumpkin spice latte was a freebie. Scooooore.

I don’t really have much to report on on the food front, since I’ve pretty much been snacking my way through the afternoon. One thing I did manage to snap a pic of though was my banana bites with peanut butter.

Super good.

I also got my bake on this afternoon, too…

And if you guessed that their pumpkin, well then you’re most definitely right. Winking smile

I’m bringing them over for a dinner date later tonight with some pals, so if I get some good feedback, I’ll be sure to share with ya ASAP.

Good lord, the amount of pumpkin in this post is ridiculous…

  13. I must share this with you. I am just as obsessed with pumpkin as u abd I go to starbucks embarassingly often. Its like my own cheers. They dont even have to ask me what I want. Haha but anyway. Next time u go. Order a grande Misto with 3 pumps pumpkin sauce and nonfat milk. Tastes identical to the latte. Its the same thing but with coffee instead of espresso. Reason I do this? Its about 1.65 cheaper and for someone that loves my pumpkin drink atleast 3 times a week. It helps. I usually get pike place coffee but today I got bold and its good as well. Just had to share with u so u can save moolah!! I also ask then to sprinkle the pumpkin spice on top and they always happily oblige:)

  14. The fall bug has bit you! My pumpkin obsession is pretty bad right now too :-) I saw a recipe on pinterest for frozen banana/pb bites. I cant wait to try it when it gets hot again!

  15. I just had that same TJ's pumpkin soup for lunch today! It's delicious. I also love a scoop of TJ's pumpkin butter with a sprinkle of cinnamon in my morning oatmeal.

  20. Hehe I'm kind of jealous of the amount of pumpkin flavored things that you guys have down there in the States - there's not such a big craze for it up here in Canada. Actually, unless I bake it myself, pumpkin flavored goodies are basically non-existent :(

  22. The more pumpkin the better! ;) That pumpkin spice chai latte mix sounds SO good! Can't wait to hear what you think! I looove their pumpkin butter... I found a jar that I had from last year in the back of my fridge about a month ago, and ever since then I haven't been able to get enough!

  25. um, clearly I need to get my butt to trader joe's asap!!! I haven't been in almost a week and I have a feeling they've got some of that new pumpkin stuff in now! And my best friend loooooves Cat Cookies. I wish they were gluten free!

  27. Your cart looks much like mine did last weekend although I need to go back for a few things I missed like that Pumpkin Chai Coffee!! And I hear they have Pumpkin Greek yogurt which I totally missed!

    • I thought of you as I was checking out because I remember seeing your picture last week ;) I tried finding the pumpkin yogurt, but it didn't even look like there was a space for it at our store?!? Ahh well...next time!

  28. I just stopped at Trader Joe's tonight after work and also got a jar of the pumpkin butter. I put a little on a slice of zucchini bread when I got home and it was delicious! Love that it's not too sweet...I'm thinking it'd be great mixed with almond or peanut butter too. Tis the season! :)

    • Hmmm...I'd say their sort of a mix of an animal cracker/shortbread cookie. They're sweeter than traditional animal crackers. AKA, they're awesome ;)

  35. I LOVE pumpkin! I actually just did a post yesterday with all of the pumpkin items I found at Aldi. If you have an Aldi near you, go there! They have a TON of pumpkin products and they are all very reasonably priced. Cannot wait to see the cookie recipe! :)

  37. Pumpkin is probably the greatest food in the world...or at least it is this month! I bought pumpkin chai tea and it is so good with some heated almond milk and a little stevia and vanilla extract too! Oh man, I've been drinking it every night!

  38. Pumpkin overload! I enjoy pumpkin as a savoury side dish for dinners and lunches...but in sweets? I just don't know if I can do it. It's basically unheard of here in Aus!

  • The perfect end to a great birthday with my favorite people.🤗🎉💙
  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving
