Friday Favorites #169

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you!

I hope you have had a wonderful week. My week started out warm with temperatures in the 70’s and then things took a turn and we ended the week in the 40’s…brrrr! Yes, fall is officially here. But, I can’t complain too much, I love this time of year with all the leaves changing.

Here’s a glimpse into some recent leaves early in the morning.

I have a big weekend coming up, two of my close friends are getting married tomorrow, which I can’t wait to celebrate with them. Then I have family coming into town this weekend which will be fun and NEXT week is Halloween! What a whirlwind!

Before we get to the weekend, I wanted to share a different kind of favorites with you today! I recently went to a Trader Joe’s, we don’t have one near where I live so whenever I go to a city with a Trader Joe’s, I have to stop. After my latest haul, I wanted to share some new favorites with you today as I link up with Erika and Andrea!!

Now, some of the things I picked up were things that looked different or unique, others were things that came recommended from Mix and Match Mama and some are just favorites of mine! Let’s dive into today’s Trader Joe’s Friday Favorites!

Honey Crisp Apple Granola- I love, love, love, granola! Mix it with apples and you have me sold! When Mix and Match Mama recommended this in her October Haul post, I knew I had to get it and I love it. I enjoy Granola in yogurt and in trail mixes and this is perfect for fall. I also enjoyed some sliced apples and peanut butter, yum!

Sweetened Green Mango- This came recommended as well and looked unique too! It tastes very similar to dried apricots, which I enjoy, but it’s even sweeter. This would do great in a trail mix or eating them by themselves if you are craving something sweet. 

Everything But the Bagel Seasoning Crackers- I LOVE Everything but the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s so I knew these crackers had to be a winner, spoiler alert, they were! I love a good cracker and the seasoning on top is just perfect. I would eat these crackers with cheese, dips, or jellies, or even just by themselves, that’s how much flavor they have. Definitely keep these stocked up!

Pepper Jelly- This pepper jelly was such a fun add-on! We love to make appetizers in my house and one of our favorites is brie cheese with apples, cheese, grapes, crackers, nuts, vegetables etc. We sometimes like to have a jelly or other flavor with the cheese and this pepper jelly would be such a good complement to it. I can’t wait to use it more during the holidays!

Dark Chocolate Mint Cremes- Are you surprised there’s something sweet on this list? I love something sweet whenever I go to the store. Chocolate and mints are one of my favorite combinations next to chocolate and peanut butter. These Dark chocolate mint creams are addicting. They are just like a junior mint, but bigger. They are the perfect after-meal snack!

There you have it! Those are some of my favorite Trader Joe’s finds! I may sprinkle more in future posts, but until then, these are my fall-go to’s! If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, what are some of your go-to’s? Share them with me below!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous fall weekend!
