{Shopping} Some Fall Finds At Trader Joe's

I know it's not quite fall yet but if you're in Trader Joe's, you might think it is.  Bring on the fall products!

1)Cinnamon Roll Blondie Mix-I heard really good things about this so I grabbed one to make for a special occasion.

2)Organic Vanilla Bean Paste-I'm sure this will come in handy with holiday baking.

3)Vanilla Pumpkin and Honey crisp Apple Candles-love them!

4)Apple Cider Fruit Spread-this is so good! There are chunks of apple in it and the flavor is spot on.

5)Pulled Jackfruit In Smoky BBQ Sauce-I can't wait to try this!

I actually forgot about all of three of these until I was doing this post!

6)Gluten Free Pizza Crusts-I've heard good things about these cauliflower pizza crusts. They are supposed to be easier to prepare and much better tasting than the previous cauliflower crusts they carried.

7)Vegan Spinach & Cashew Ravioli-these sound amazing!

8)Organic Veggie Bites-veggie tater tots with sunflower seeds.

9) Instant Ramen Soup-Mr. Click and I each picked one of the Ramen soups. I don't think we've tried them before.

10)Boursin Dairy Free Cheese-this stuff is SO good and at a great price point at TJ's.

11)Organic Creamy Cashew Cultured Yogurt Alternative Pumpkin Spice- I didn't love this. The flavor is good but the yogurt was very runny. 
12) Mediterranean Style Hummus-I haven't bought this one in a long time. It's an oldie but goodie!

Have you found any TJ's goodies lately?  Did you see our visit to Betsy Ross House in my last post?

{Field Trip} A Sunday in Philly- Lunch, Cats & Betsy Ross House

 We had an impromptu day in Philly last month. We dropped "the kids" (City Girl 2 and her bf) off at a music festival and decided to spend a little time enjoying the city.

Our first stop was Cuba Libre in Old City for lunch (and a pineapple mojito for me).

We started with the chips and assorted dips appetizer.

I had the black bean soup and it was delish!

After lunch we headed out to just walk around and ended up at Betsy Ross House.

We didn't go inside but walked around the courtyard and gift shop.

There were a few plaques and signs to read and of course a flag to pose with.

Of course I had to get a photo of this cat fountain but there was no plaque on it so I asked in the gift shop about it.  It was just donated to the site, the cats didn't have anything to do with Betsy Ross.

Another view of the cats and courtyard.

We walked some more and I had to stop and admire this late summer garden.  We were passing The Book Trader book store and went inside this time.

I was on a search for Mr. Pickles, their cat. He was upstairs in a very warm section of the store snoozing away! He was not bothered by anything going on around him.  What a cutie! 

Do you know who Betsy Ross was (no Googling!).

{Shopping} A Tiny Trader Joe's Haul & Some Costco Finds

It's been awhile since I've done a Costco haul (April!) and I'm always up for a little TJ's haul so here we go with a combo shopping post.

Trader Joe's

I'm a sucker for anything that says it will revitalize my hair. I've used it once so far and really like it!  My summer hair needs it!

A couple of new snacks--- 

The Bamba snacks with hazelnut filling are so good and not too sweet!

The  Crispy Onion Chips are less of a snack and more of a topping for salads and soup. They add a nice crunch.  

The Almond Butter Bars are a bit dry but still tasty.

Brand new dairy free ice cream alert! Let it thaw a little before diving in.

Costco

I'm obsessed with these Pacific Trail shorts from Costco.  Mine didn't come in a 2 pack and were $9.99/each. I have the grey and a peach pair. I like them even better than the other shorts I got from Costco. They are slightly longer with a wide waist band, pockets and a little zippered pocket in one of them.

I saw this on a Youtuber's video and had to try it.  It's a great deal and super moisturizing.

I probably only buy walnuts once a year and I keep them in the freezer.

This 3 pack of English cucumbers is a staple in our Costco cart.

I had to do it! We haven't opened the box yet but it's nice to have them ready for when we want them.

It's been awhile since we've bought new towels. We bought a few of the Charisma bath towels to see how we like them and so far we love them!  They are so soft and fluffy --and big!
