Yum Yum Wednesday – Trader Joe’s

September 17, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 3 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a while since I did a Yum Yum Wednesday post.  I thought today I would share with you some new and old Trader Joe goodies.  I am looking so forward to Fall shopping at TJ’s because all of the pumpkin goodies are going to be coming.  Last year they told me they had over 100 items that contained pumpkin. I think I tried most and loved them all.  Matter in fact, even though I didn’t post it, they have there canned pumpkin back in stock.  It’s in the 90’s here, but I am ready for my Fall foods.  So let’s get the Trader Joe’s party started.

First up is CowGirl Bark. This is a new item and I just had to try it. Probably a big mistake on my part. It’s a ginger cookie, topped with white chocolate, pretzels, nuts and cranberries. It is delish. I didn’t think I would care for it with the Ginger Snap, but it’s not real strong flavor and one little piece of bark satisfies my sweet tooth.

Chocolate Covered Cherries and Dark Chocolate Covered Caramel – I love both of these and hide them in my snack drawer at work. The Chocolate covered cherries is a favorite in the office and I have to hide my stash. The chocolate covered cherries are juicy, sweet and one is enough of them. Perfect for a chocolate craving. The Dark Chocolate Caramel is another favorite. It has a nice dark chocolate and a chewy caramel center. This would make for a great gift or serving on a platter. Again with this treat, one is enough.

Coconut Water – I have really grown to love coconut water. TJ’s price is good to. This container cost my $1.99, which I think is pretty in-expensive. Coconut water is great for when you dehydrated, plus, I kid you not, if you have a few to many drinks, have a glass of coconut water before bed. You won’t get a hangover or headache. Trust me on this one.
Trader Joe's Coconut Water
Peanutters – These cookies are addicting. 6 of them is one serving and 150 calories. they are crisp, and have little bits of peanut butter in them. It’s a family favorite. So if you don’t have time to make your own PB cookies, buy these. Just be careful because you can eat more than one serving in a matter of minutes. Highly addicting.
Trader Joe's Peanutnutter Cookies
Squash – I love squash and what I love about the ones at Trader Joe’s is that you pick out whatever size you want at one price. Most stores sell squash by the pound, normally .99 cents a pound. At Trader Joe’s, the Delicata Squash is .99 cents, Butternut Squash $2.99, Acorn Squash $1.29 and the Kobacha Squash is $1.29. You can buy big ones or small ones at one price.
Trader Joe's Squash
Cashew Butter – This a new nut butter and I love it. It tastes naturally sweet, has a small hint of salt and makes for a great sandwich. Plus I like to make raw cookie dough balls with it. It’s easier than grinding your own cashews.
Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Cashew Butter
Fig & Olive Crisps – I love TJ’s crisps. I always keep a box on hand. They make for great appetizer for parties, plus for me I love the texture of them. I like to dip them in hummus and cheese. These ones, have a nice fall flavor, a little bit sweet from the fig and right at the end you get the olive oil flavor. 11 crisps are only 90 calories.
Trader Joe's Fig and Olive Crackers
Green Tea Lemonade and Mango Nectar. I have been buying the Mango Nectar for my smoothies, which I just love. Than I ran across the Green Tea Lemonade and I had to try it. It has a nice balance of sweetness and lemon flavor. I decided to mix the Green Tea Lemonade with the Mango Nectar, to copy Starbucks Peach Green Tea Lemonade. You know what? Subbing mango for peach and making a healthier drink is so much better than Starbucks. Plus it’s cheaper. For the recipe do the following:

  • Fill a glass with ice cubes
  • Add 1/4 cup Mango Nectar
  • Add 1 cup Green Tea Lemonade
  • Mix and serve

You will Love it!

Beer Battered Halibut (Gluten Free) – We buy this all of the time. it makes for a quick week night dinner. You do not notice that it is gluten-free. It’s cooks fast, crispy and perfect for fish and chips. They do carry a Beer Battered Halibut that we love too. But my family doesn’t notice the difference too much between the too and the nutritional stats and calories are less on the Gluten Free Battered Halibut, so that is what I have been sticking to.
Trader Joe's Battered Halibut Gluten Free
Well that’s it for this edition of Yum Yum Wednesday. Do you have a Trader Joe’s favorite? Do tell. You Guys have told me in the past some of your favorites and have gone out and give them a try, so I am looking for more options.

Have a great day!


Toodles,

Jennifer

    I have two TJ favorites to share.
    One is the Healthy 8 chopped veggie mix that I use in a salad or as a salad on it’s own. Delicious and crunchy!
    The other is the Quinoa Duo in the frozen section. Yummy!

    I haven’t been to Trader Joe’s in a while since I’m still trying to eat what I currently have in my freezer (it’s been jam packed for the longest time!). Plus, I’m having jaw surgery next week so I’ll be mostly stocking up on products to make smoothies with since I’ll be on a liquid diet for 2-3 weeks (I’m in carb Heaven right now!). I love all the ice creams at TR’s and their latest of the cookie spread in the ice cream version (can’t remember what it’s called). I also love their mini pumpkin pies. One is enough to satisfy me. I also love their sparkling juices, all the flavors really.

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

🌸
I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!
🍋
I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

The pillow is reversible and in the other side it’s the American flag. I will share the other side in stories today.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
