Today, I’m shifting gears from my typical fashion & beauty posts and talking about another topic that I love, food!  As you probably know from my weekly Instagram stories, I love Trader Joe’s!  For the last six years I’ve lived within a mile radius from T Joe’s and frequent the store 2-3 times a week. I love trying out their new seasonal products but also have a list of items I get every time I visit!

Based on the feedback I received from a recent Insta poll to write about Trader Joe’s, you guys seem to love it too!!  So below I’m breaking down my Trader Joe’s must haves & October fall favorites!

My Trader Joe’s Everyday Must Haves:

Field Fresh Chopped Salad with Grilled White Chicken 

I eat this salad for lunch 2-4 times a week. I’m obsessed!  It’s one of those salads that I never get sick of and crave when I’m out of town.  I love to add a bit of avocado to it with the T Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.

Lemon Basil Pasta Salad

Best pasta ever! Combines bow tie pasta with shredded Asiago cheese, green peas, fresh shredded spinach, and grated zucchini. Toss it in the light basil lemonette (lemon vinaigrette) provided, squeeze the included lemon wedge on top… so good!

Cherry Blossom Pino Nior

This has been my go-to wine for the last year or so after a friend recommended it to me.  It’s a California Pinot, with the taste of rich berries and chocolate & it’s only $4.99!

Vegan Riced Cauliflower Bowl

This is a newer item that I got hooked on recently!  Here’s what’s in it: a bed of riced cauliflower, topped with chopped sweet potatoes, red onions, tofu & chickpeas.  If you like tofu and looking for a healthy bowl, I’d give this a try!

Family Style Meat Lasagna

This is my husbands favorite frozen meal!  I don’t typically eat beef but I’ve had a few bites of it and it’s pretty amazing.  I buy it every time because it’s such an easy meal for him when I opt for a vegetarian dinner.

Rice Cauliflower Stir Fry

This one is a great option to satisfy your rice craving!  The texture isn’t the same as fried rice but it is pretty good & definitely better for you… 50 cals a serving!

 Spicy Chai Tea Latte Mix

The perfect alternative for my go-to Starbucks order.  I love drinking this cold over ice & it’s super easy to make.

October Fall Favorites

Pasta Fall Zucchette 

 Such an adorable pasta that looks like mini pumpkins… full of great flavor too!

Creamy Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce

Can I just say, YUM! I used this sauce with the Zucchette pasta and a little chicken, so good!

Pumpkin Bars

I pick these up every year because they make a great snack! They’re made with real fruit & low fat.

Pumpkin Spice Almond Beverage

This is the perfect thing to add to your coffee to give it some pumpkin flavor! It’s non-dairy, vegan & only $1.99!

Spiced Cider

If you love cider you need to try this! I am hooked, so good!

Pumpkin Bread

Another one of my favorites that I buy every year! So easy to make – just need to add in oil, water, eggs & bake.
