Trader Joe's

Yes, my unhealthy obsession with Trader Joe's has led me to experience all of the goodies they have to offer and my do they offer A LOT.

Here are a list of some of my favorite Trader Joe's products:

Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING

Trader Joes rolls out some AMAZING pumpkin products for the fall!!

1. Joe's Pumpkin O's

This is my go to breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. I have no shame. The best part? They're GLUTEN FREE which means yours truly can enjoy a box anytime.

2. Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancake Mix

Another Gluten Free favorite, I made these for my friend and he had no idea they were gluten free. That's all.

3. Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramels

OH BABY!! I bought these today and I am so glad I did, these are AMAZING. They're nutty and sweet and then there's the salt that just finishes it all off. I have yet to try the Apple Cider Caramels but I definitely will soon.

4. Pumpkin Butter

This is probably one of the original product I've purchased from the pumpkin range at Trader Joe's. If you've ever had apple butter, this is the same thing but better. I'm not sure how they make it but they do a damn good job.

Sauce Favorite

1. Corn Salsa

If I'm honest, I don't know where I would be without this stuff. I put it on avocado toast, in omelets, on chicken, with chips and sometimes I eat it right out of the jar. I don't need any other sauces, ever.

SNACKS

1. Kettle Corn

This stuff is ADDICTING. If you aren't careful, you WILL eat the whole bag but thankfully they make little snack versions (meant for lunch boxes but shhhh) so you can "eat the whole bag" and not feel as bad.

2. Trader Joe's Contemplates Inner Peas

These are baked snap peas that are salted just the right amount and UGH are they so good. And they're healthy because they're peas.....right?

3. Coconut Granola

Okay, I guess this isn't really a "snack" but I eat it like it's one. If you like coconut, you will like this.

Dinner stuff

1. Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry

This saves me SO MUCH TIME when making dinner. All you do is toss that stuff in a pan with some chicken or even tofu and BAM you have dinner.

2. Dr. Praeger's Veggie Burgers

Yes, I know these aren't Trader Joe's brand but I live on these as well. Vegetarian or just looking for a quick meal, these are great

3. All Natural Ground Chicken

I make taco a whole lot, mostly because corn tortillas are gluten free and taco salad is also easy. I'm not a huge red-meat eater so I use ground chicken instead!

SWEETS

1. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Need I say more?

2. Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans

It's like mocha in a bite.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
