Sharing the Trader Joe’s fall products you need to add to your cart! It may still feel like summer but at TJ’s, it’s all about fall.
Last week, the realization hit this East Coast girl that this will be my first non-foliage fall. I grew up in Western New York and was lucky enough to see gorgeous foliage as soon as I stepped out the front door. Or really, just looked outside the window.
I was spoiled with an apple cider mill brimming with all the fall treats, including apple cider doughnuts, a mere 15 minute drive away. Although as a kid, I remember feeling like the drive took much, much longer.
Our family is now in California and our landscape is more palm trees and greenery than shades of red, yellow, and orange. We’re still dressing in our summer clothes even though I’m dying to break out the sweaters and puffer vests.
Here is where Trader Joe’s comes to the rescue. They launched the fall edition of their Fearless Flyer and Trader Joe’s fall items are hitting the shelves. If I can’t leaf-peep or dress like it’s fall, you better believe I’m going to snack and prepare cozy meals like it’s fall!
Several of my tried ‘n true fall favorites are back again this year but Trader Joe’s also has a bunch of new products I’m excited to try and share with you all. Let’s jump into the list like a leaf pile your dad just raked!
Trader Joe’s Fall Products
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese:
I used to think I wasn’t a butternut squash person. Until, once again, Trader Joe’s tasting station proved me wrong. This mac and cheese is sinfully good. I could probably eat it every day and would if it wasn’t a seasonal item. It’s cheesy and creamy, the ultimate fall comfort food. I love to serve as a side dish for dinner along salmon and roasted broccolini or brussels sprouts. For best taste and results, I recommend enjoying your butternut squash mac and cheese underneath a cozy blanket on your couch while binge-watching your favorite show.
White Stilton Cheese with Apple and Pear:
If you’re heading out to a winery this fall, be sure to pick up the White Stilton Cheese with Apple and Pear for your charcuterie board. You can also crumble the White Stilton Cheese and pair with a more mild cheese on sourdough to create a delicious autumnal grilled cheese.
Scented Candle Tin Trio:
I loved this candle trio last year and immediately plopped it into my shopping cart when I saw it on the shelves. TJ’s needs to make these small candles into their full-size ones, their scents are that good and perfect for cozy weekends or evenings.
Spiced Cider:
I loved the spiced cider on its own or substitute this for orange juice to create an apple cider mimosa.
Non-Dairy Maple Oat Beverage:
You can find the maple oat beverage in the refrigerated section. I love it for adding a touch of fall flavor to a variety of dishes — like overnight oats, a chai latte, or whipping up pancakes or waffles.
Fall Greek Yogurt (Honey Crisp Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Flavors):
When you want fall but you also want to get your protein. I always like to keep TJ’s Greek yogurt in our fridge for an easy breakfast or snack and these flavors add fun to the mix.
Pumpkin Overnight Oats:
The pumpkin overnight oats are a new addition to TJ’s fall line-up and I picked one up earlier this week to try out. I think they would be an easy breakfast-on-the-go option.
Organic Maple Butter:
Getting back to that pumpkin brioche…I picked up the maple butter to have on hand to up my bagel and toast game this fall.
Caramelized Onion Goat’s Milk Cheese:
Beyond being fantastic for a cheese board, I have big plans for this goat’s milk cheese. I’m thinking figs and a drizzle of good balsamic would make for an excellent pizza or tartine.
Pumpkin Flavored Joe-Joe’s:
My favorite TJ’s fall treat! I could eat a whole box all by myself, they’re that addicting. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Pumpkin Brioche Twist:
The pumpkin brioche twist is delicious on its own. But soak it in Trader Joe’s pumpkin oat beverage (found on the shelves amongst the other shelf-stable nut milks) and a beaten egg to turn it into the best pumpkin brioche French toast ever! Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and nutmeg and you have the fall weekend breakfast of your dreams.
Pumpkin & Spice Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix:
I have high expectations for this cookie mix, a new item to hit the fall Fearless Flyer. I’m currently stashing the mix in our pantry for when the sweet tooth hits!
Pumpkin Ice Cream:
This pumpkin ice cream is cool with all the warming spices, making it fantastic for those of us living in a warmer climate.
Petite Pumpkin Spice Cookies:
A sweet little fall treat, these are great for bringing into the office to share.
Savory Squash Pastry Bites:
Another new item I have high expectations for. TJ’s frozen appetizers are fantastic and I hope these live up to the high standards TJ’s has set for me.
Butternut Squash Italian Lasagna:
An easy weeknight meal during the fall when you run out of time…or energy, whichever comes first.
Honeycrisp Apple Granola:
A new item I’m excited to try! I think the granola would go great sprinkled onto Greek yogurt or in a smoothie bowl. You could also top a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the honeycrisp apple granola to fulfill an apple pie craving.
All Butter Apple Shortbread Cookies:
When it comes to fall flavors, some people are all about pumpkin. While I do like roasted pumpkin seeds, I’m firmly Team Apple in the flavor competition. So needless to say I was pretty pumped when I spotted these cookies in the Fearless Flyer as new this year. I picked a box up this week and I can’t wait to try them!
Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix:
This seasonal mix is a longtime favorite of mine (as evidenced by this blog post from 2013!). Add in some chocolate chips when you turn these into muffins to take it up a notch.
Gluten Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins:
There’s just something about streusel! These are wonderful for mornings when you want a special breakfast but aren’t looking to get your kitchen messy.
Pumpkin Spiced Teeny Tiny Pretzels:
I love a handful of these pretzels for a sweet little snack in the afternoon.
Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps:
Pair these crisps with brie to balance out the flavors. Melt the brie if you’re feeling both ambitious and a little naughty.
Pumpkin Cheesecake:
What is the opposite of warmed pumpkin pie? A cool pumpkin cheesecake! Both equally delicious. You can find the cheesecake in the freezer section.
Non-Dairy Cinnamon Bun Oat Creamer:
This sweet creamer is how you take your morning coffee from good to amazing! I love to add a splash to my morning chai latte as a fun treat and to mix it up from the usual flavors. You really just need a splash to add some pep to your step.
Harvest Brunch Dog Treats:
I’m still waiting on the full review of the new dog treats from Riley. She loves all TJ’s treats so I’m confident she’ll give these a rave review.
Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake:
The mini sheet cake looks like a personal sheet cake to me. I can’t wait to try this out!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Croissants:
TJ’s frozen croissants are delicious and I can’t wait to give their pumpkin cheesecake cousins a whirl!
Pumpkin Blondie Brownies:
Trader Joe’s pumpkin professionals know exactly what they’re doing placing these blondies right before the checkout line.
