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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
