My favorite holiday has finally arrived! Note, I’m using the word “favorite” loosely here. Any holiday that promotes the large consumption of chocolate (and where it’s given out for free!) is a winner (#hidethereese’s). I admit that I never used to care much about Halloween, but as I’ve gotten older it has grown on me. From pumpkin and apple picking, to painting pumpkins and pulling out some spooky decor, it’s a holiday that makes me feel like a kid again — and I love going through old photos of when I used to dress up and go Trick-or-Treating.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been stalking the shelves at Trader Joe’s, which I have declared the place to be this season for all-things-pumpkin. And I can tell you that the pumpkin waffles and pecan pumpkin oatmeal will satisfy your cravings, too. The waffles have a subtle hint of pumpkin flavor and are perfect for a quick breakfast…or a snack during the day. I enjoy them with a light coating of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but they can easily be eaten with syrup. The pecan pumpkin oatmeal was something I normally wouldn’t gravitate toward, but it piqued my interest. This oatmeal is seriously sweet — and please keep in mind that this statement is coming from a sugar addict! If you don’t care for sweet oatmeal, I would suggest adding regular oats to the package to soften the taste.
As you can see, I’ve been enjoying #pumpkinpandemonium. I am always a bit sad when I must say goodbye to my Pumpkin Spice Lattes in favor of something more festive, like Peppermint Mocha Lattes. So get your pumpkin fixings while you can — and if you’re smart, you’ll buy extra and freeze them so that it can always be pumpkin season in your home!
Have you tried the pumpkin waffles or pecan pumpkin oatmeal from Trader Joe’s?
Oh wow these waffles look absolutely amazing.

Thanks, Rae! They’re so delicious. I’m always sad when Trader Joe’s stops carrying them — which will be soon. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and hope you have a nice weekend!
Oh my gosh this looks amazing!! I so wish we had a TJs here in Germany. I think I may have to have a friend to gab some for me…

The Trader Joe’s waffles are great to have on hand when you’re craving pumpkin. Just pop them in the toaster and you’re good to go. I’m glad you enjoyed the post, Shveta. Hope you have a nice weekend!
I love instant oatmeals and this looks like something I’d give a try!

I love Trader Joe’s! They have the best stuff — especially around this time of year. I’m glad you enjoyed the post, Amy. Hope you have a fun Halloween!
These both sound delicious! I have a Trader Joe’s by my house. I am going to have to give these a try. Thanks so much for giving us a review on them. Have a great weekend!

If you like pumpkin, these are both great breakfast options, Kathy! Hurry though, I’m not sure how much longer Trader Joe’s will be stocking them.
Wow these look delicious. We don’t get Trader Joe’s in London. These look incredible though! Happy Hallo-weekend xx

I am a pumpkin freak as well! I should head to Trader Joe’s & pick up some stuff before they go out of season. Hope you have a happy weekend! :]

Definitely do, Carmen! You might want to buy extra and freeze it for the next time you’re craving pumpkin. The waffles are so good.
Loving this! I love this time of year!

They’re so good! I’m glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for visiting Living in Steil.
I would like to see at least one photo of you in a Halloween costume when you were a child. I did not grow up in the US, so I did not celebrate Halloween for many years. I would love to try the pumpkin waffles! Have a nice weekend, Vanessa!

Thanks, Caitlin! These pumpkin goodies are delicious. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and thanks for visiting Living in Steil.
Ok, now I’m hungry. TJs is the best place for pumpkin things this time of year! We just finished the chocolate chip pumpkin loaf I made with their pumpkin bread mix (so I’ll be back to buy more) and we have a box of their pumpkin macaroons in the freezer (which i have to share with the hubby, but could eat the whole thing myself, LOL)

Thanks, Anna! I don’t think I’ve ever come across something pumpkin that I didn’t like.
Trader Joe’s is my weakness! I don’t know how I haven’t tried these yet. Looks like a need to make another trip there!

Thanks, Winfred!
I’m so jealous! In Australia there is hardly any pumpkin stuff I tried to look for pumpkin puree to make cookies yesterday but they don’t even exist! Waffles are my favourite breakfast food so those look freaking good.
Hope your weekend was spooktacular or at least a treat 😉
MUCH LOVE KAREN

So sorry you don’t have any pumpkin goodies in Australia, Karen! I love pumpkin waffles and will be very sad when pumpkin season comes to a close. Wish I could send you some pumpkin waffles from the States!
It looks delicios! Any left for me?

Thanks! Unfortunately, I just finished all the pumpkin waffles I had. Next time I’ll send some your way!
While I am more of a peppermint mocha fan, I still love all the pumpkin flavored things! Those waffles sound so good that I might have to head over to trader joe’s sometime this week 😉
Mili
I love the peppermint mocha latte, too, Mili! But it means that fall is coming to an end and winter will be arriving soon.
I wish we had a Trader Joes here, so many great items! I would love to try those pumpkin waffles 🙂
