Favorite Trader Joe's Holiday Items!
It's almost Christmas! I'm really loving this holiday season this year. Apart from waiting until what I feel is the last minute to get everyone gifts (which I finally finished this week!), I have loved trying all things "Christmas inspired". That includes some new and old holiday favorites from Trader Joes that I thought I'd share with you!Trader Joes is our typical grocery store. I love the prices, the unique products, and the people there. I love trying new things, and Trader Joes is probably the best place for that! There's always new and different things being put on the shelves, and only a few things have I tried and not liked. It's just such a fun experience!Here's some latest inspiration to try some new things at Trader Joes...Christmas edition :)
Truffles (especially these "Boozy Little Chocolate Truffles"!)
I love these not only for a satisfying after dinner snack, but also for gifts! Who doesn't love a box of truffles at Christmas!? The boozy ones are really fun. With 4 different flavors (gin, scotch, whiskey, and rum), they're super festive and different! We gave these as a gift to our landlord last year, but this year I got some for myself because...#treatyoself!
Butternut Squash Ravioli
I love keeping a pack of ravioli or tortellini in the fridge for "emergency dinners". And these butternut squash ones are nice and seasonal for this time of year! I envision a creamy white sauce with these and a glass of merlot! Yum!
Buche de Noel (Yule Log) Ice Cream
I mean, you can't go wrong with the description of this one! Creamy ice cream with chocolate cake pieces and a cocoa swirl. Heavenly! And it really is delicious! I love keeping a thing of ice cream in the freezer for those times I'm craving something sweet and creamy after dinner. Or mid day. Whenever! I absolutely love this flavor though!
Eggnog Whole Milk Greek Yogurt
This is such a fun flavor! It literally tastes just like eggnog! These are great alongside breakfast, as a mid meal snack, or as a dessert. So delicious! And the fact that it's made from whole milk makes it so much more satisfying!
Gingerbread Spice Granola
Literally gingerbread meets granola. This stuff is just the perfect amount of spice. I'm thinking this plus that eggnog yogurt would make the most perfect combo! I can't believe I only just thought about that! Anyways, this is a fun and festive treat for breakfast or even a snack because the clusters are pretty big!
Candy Cane Green Tea & Harvest Blend Herbal Tea
This candy cane green tea isn't just mint green tea. It literally tastes like a candy cane! And then the harvest blend is a very nice apple-cinnamon flavor. Both are delicious and really set the mood for the holidays! I love the candy cane green in the afternoon around 3 or 4 o'clock and then typically I'll have the harvest blend in the evenings since it's herbal. So, what are you going to try first? Do you have any favorite holiday Trader Joe’s finds?Thanks for reading and happy holiday eating!
