I love the Pumpkin Brioche Twist. It's so good. The spices are much more pronounced and the bread is a bit more moist than last years' batch. Perfect amount of pumpkin, too, without it feeling overtly sweet or artificial. I usually warm it up and put a little bit of melted butter with cinnamon or maple syrup on it. Or, I'll warm it up and put some maple butter on it with. So delicious. 🎃🍞 Thanks for sharing with us the new TJ's finds. I really appreciate that you also put the nutrition facts and discuss the ingredients that may be red-flags for those that follow certain diets or have allergies! 🙌
@@poketographyyy Thank you so much for the detailed review. This is what I wanted to know and you answered all my questions on the pumpkin brioche twist and now makes me want to get some even though I have so much bread in my freezer right now 😅 I find that the same item in some years taste better or get worse (like the pumpkin blondie brownie this year 😬). You’re so welcome and thank you for the kind feedback and for watching❣️
Your delicata squash looks so tasty. 🎃 I agree with you about the butternut squash & caramelized onion tart being expensive. Great job on your video. 💙
@@robino941 I tend to over roast my squash because I love it when the edges get crispy 🤤 Appreciate you for always watching even when you don’t even go to Trader Joe’s❣️
@@daydreamingofpuzzles I admit the mini size got me 😍 it was $4 so not all that cheap compared to regular sized pumpkin pies at a regular supermarket or Costco but it was worth it because of that buttery crispy crust 🤤 Thank you so much for watching❣️
@@koreyb Agreed…the pumpkin cheesecake croissants 🎃🥐 are probably one of the less sweet items and they’re really good. Have you tried them? Thank you so much for always watching❣️
@@debrosenbloom1731 I hear ya. We need more fresh healthy items to break it up but from now until Valentine’s Day it’s going to be junk food galore at Trader Joe’s! Thank you for always commenting and for always watching❣️
Great second pumpkin video, so many things I’m going to have to narrow it down! The mini pumpkin tree is so cute, that I have to get! The Kringle, the pumpkin bread mix and the Fall Harvest Salsa are definitely ones I want to try! Thanks for all the great information🙂
@@LizWatts-o1o You’re so welcome ☺️ Yay for all the yummy choices. Hope you enjoy them 😋 Thank you so much for always commenting and for always watching❣️
I want to thank you sooo much for the dedication, hard work and time you put into these videos. When I first started watching you I was kinda of annoyed because you read ingredients and nutrition facts but it has made me sooo much more mindful of what I’m eating so again, thank you! Also, I don’t go to Trader Joe’s until you post so I don’t miss anything 🤣
@@Emma-ql2lv That’s one of the best compliments ❤️ Trust me you’re not the only one who was annoyed with me doing that 😆I now try to quickly go over the details for the new items and the seasonal/returning items I just show the information but don’t go over it. Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching❣️
@@isagoldfield7393 Awwww yay so glad to hear that. Glad you enjoyed delicata squash. It’s so underrated that I need to sing its praises every year 🤤 Thank you so much for commenting and for always watching❣️
I been watching your videos for a while now because my family and I can’t always go to trader Joe’s in person and we love all the new seasonal 🍁🎃 food at trader Joe thank you for sharing this video 😊!
🎃 🧡 🍎 thank you! You’re so joyful! That was fun… I love the maple fudge, I love the pumpkin mousse cakes, and I love the little apple pies. Everything is yummy, but you do have to be careful about not too much pumpkin 🎃 thank you! Happy fall! 💜 🧡
I got the pumpkin blondie brownies too and I'm having a rough time getting through it. It is very very sweet and I prefer the pumpkin madeline cookies. Another great video!
@@HL90210 Good to know it’s not only me. I don’t know what happened to them this year 🥴 You can try doing what I did and crushing it up into plain Greek yogurt to salvage it or just toss them 😬 Thank you so much for always watching❣️
@@marykerwin1048 I try to fill up on a lot of veggies so that I don’t go for seconds for the more calorie dense foods (in this case more pasta) plus I always have a sweet treat to end the meal 🤭 Thank you so much for commenting and for always watching❣️
Shopping sister! Great review. Good idea with cream cheese for pumpkin loaf, picked one up with thoughts toward thanksgiving, it’s in freezer now. Also got the delicata squash. Ready for a cool down. Hope you’re well.❤❤
@@LisaMerideth-i8t Hi friend 😃 Let me know how your pumpkin cream cheese thaws. I tried freezing it last year and it did not thaw well at all. The cream cheese curdled and I had to end up throwing it out 😢 Yay for getting delicata squash. Thank you so much for always watching❣️
@@traderjoesgeekhello my geekiness! It’s the bread that’s frozen, if the pumpkin cream cheese isn’t available at thanksgiving, we’ll just use plain. Thanks for the advice on freezing cream cheese.
@@lorettacali10370 You’re so welcome ☺️ I need to circle back to acorn squash too but it’s hard to take a break from delicata squash 😋 Thank you so much for commenting and for always watching❣️
I agree with the person who said many of the pumpkin foods contained far too much sugar, particularly the pumpkin O’s. It’s a breakfast food but with the amount of sugar it falls into the category of snacks and treats. I already eat far too many sugary foods throughout the day like chocolate, cake, desserts etc, so I draw the line and avoid sugary foods for breakfast. It’s different if I was on vacation or going out for breakfast, then I would make an exception 🤭. Now what should you do with the pumpkin O’s? If I were you I’d throw them away (I’d wait until they are stale)! If you can’t do that then may be eat them as a topping for unsweetened yogurt. I eat full fat unsweetened yogurt 😋. Thank you for sharing.
@@shadowguard3578 Agree with everything you said from avoiding sugary breakfasts to eating enough sweet treats as it is. I am more of a savory type of breakfast person & I only eat cereal for dessert but the Pumpkin O’s was even too sweet for that 😬 Thanks for the suggestion to use it on top of yogurt but to be honest it’ll probably sit in my pantry for a while and get even more stale (than it already is) since I don’t tend to grab for it. Thank you for commenting and for watching❣️
I had the oat pumpkin beverage I put it in my coffee that I made with water it mutes the flavor so I just warmed the beverage then added Instade coffee is delicious
Great review! Wondering if I can roast the Delicata like I do Acorn Squash? I cut in half, seed, then place butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc., in the cavity, then bake till tender. Have you tried it without cutting into small pieces?
@@carmelcornr1715 I haven’t tried it your way but I’m sure that would work on the delicata squash as well. I cut them up into pieces because I love the edges getting crispy but your way sounds so delicious I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching❣️
Love the turkey harvest salad! Sooo delicious. 😋 I just stocked up on the pumpkin 🎃 bread & muffin baking mix. (X6 😂) The pumpkin waffles are definitely lacking a prominent pumpkin flavor. Unfortunately, I found them to be disappointing. It’s so frustrating when they change recipes on items. 🥴 The organic maple butter 🧈 is gone in my store for the season. I wasn’t able to get any. 😢 I purchase the Kumato tomatoes every week. Thank you so much for another great haul 🛒 & taste test. Appreciate the time & love you put into each & every video. Have a great night. ❤❤
@@kathy2933 The turkey harvest salad is a yummy one. You sound like me last year with the pumpkin bread and muffin mix so good. Right now I have 3 boxes so I just need a few more to catch up to you 😆 I can’t believe the maple butter is already gone at your store 😢 I wonder if it’s because you’re in the north east so it sells out quicker there 🤔 Do you have an Aldi’s near you? I know they sell it there also. Thank you so much for ALWAYS commenting and for always watching❣️
@@traderjoesgeek Thank you for the Aldi tip. I have a store near my Trader Joe’s. It’s a very small one & most of the time it’s not well stocked. I will check this week though. I appreciate you thinking of me. 💕
@@kathy2933 bummer 😕 I first went to an Aldi in Pennsylvania and it sounds like your local store and after that I never went back to one. But I now live close to one so I started checking it out and shop there mostly for produce because it’s cheaper there but every once in a while I’ll find some other gems. Hope you are able to find a jar this year 🍁🧈🤞🏻
@@KatieJoMikell It tastes entirely different from spaghetti squash. It’s more starchy and sweet. It tastes like a sweet chestnut 🌰 to me. It has a similar texture to a sweet potato/yam but not as sweet. It also won’t string up like spaghetti squash. It’s absolutely delicious roasted up because it caramelizes and gets sweet. Highly recommend giving it a try❣️
@@debilei1078 Good idea 💡 but it probably won’t make the cut since there’s too many other pumpkin items I want to get instead 😢 Thank you so much for always commenting for always watching❣️
That tart was very good last year, but in my opinion, it's overpriced! Perhaps if the squash was organic, that price might be justified. But it's not organic, and butternut squash itself isn't expensive, so I stand by my statement that it's overpriced for what it is. I'm actually surprised that they brought it back.
