Trader Joe's Splurge

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!

This post is dedicated to Trader Joe's. I've recently been reading about great finds and favorite items that people have and realized there are so many things that I haven't tried. 

So, yesterday, I went to my local Trader Joe's with every intent of grabbing a few things and one or two "treats" and left with a cart full of new items, mostly treats. I'm not sure what came over me, maybe it was FOMO (fear of missing out) or the fact that I was half way into my second large iced coffee that day (it was only 10:30am) and I couldn't stop myself from grabbing everything!

Here is my loot...

Speculoos Cookie Butter - Cookie + Butter = I'm assuming you can put this on anything and it will make it 1,000 times better.


Chia Seeds - Now, these may not be considered new for many people out there, but I finally jumped on the band wagon after seeing recipes for Chia seed pudding on almost every blog I follow, so, I will be making some version of chia seed pudding in the near future.


Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramel - I don't think these need any kind of explanation, they just need to be eaten.


Marcona Almonds with Rosemary - Who doesn't love rosemary?


Gluten Free Granola - No reason for buying this other than it looked good. And you can top just about anything with granola, right?


Raisin Rosemary Crisps - These are not a new item for us, but for anyone who hasn't tried them, they need to become a staple in your snack cupboard. Eat them plain, with peanut butter, hummus, cookie butter, I don't know, just eat them.


And who can leave Trader Joe's with out cheap wine and flowers? These two things make everyone's life better.


And that's a wrap! Can't wait to try all of these things...who knows, maybe some will become repeat offenders in my shopping cart :)

P.S. please share your Trader Joe's favs with me. Clearly, I can't say no...
