Menu Monday: TJ's

So this isn't a recipe, as promised on Mondays, but really more of an advertisement.

I love Trader Joe's. I love, love, love Trader Joe's. There are a lot of things I like to buy when we make a trip, but I do have a few favorites. So here's a shameless plug for a couple of my favorite items that we normally stock up on when we make a trip to TJ's.

The cornbread mix is to die for. I love corn bread and this is the best mix I have found to date. I don't make it from scratch like my mother does; I wish I had time for that. But, this is a good substitute.

(Another plug in the background. The BEST ever cookbook, The Amish Cook at Home. We all know I am obsessed with everything Amish- I have yet to find a recipe in this cookbook that isn't tasty or simple.)

Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pancake Mix- It's tasty with maple syrup or a light drizzled frosting. Not super healthy but super tasty.

And if you make the pancakes into the shape of a moose there are fewer calories. Look closely. Do you see any calories? Me either :)
