Trader Joe's Tuesday

 

 

chicken pot pie

 

 

 

this was just ok. SG loved the chicken and veggies so i would definitely call this "toddler approved" but CJ and i could take it or leave it. i felt like the crust was more croissant and less pie or biscuit and, to me, the best part of chicken pot pie is the pie crust or biscuit on top. am i right?

 

 

 

pumpkin cheesecake

 

 

don't buy this. you'll eat the whole thing in one sitting and then you'll hate me.

i topped it with a little homemade whipped cream i made using

 apple cider moonshine and a pinch of sugar

 

 

 

spiked apple cider

 

 

 

i'm a beer and wine girl. i don't usually do liquor drinks.  i like a crown and ginger, an extra dirty martini, makers mark on the rocks, and even the occasional vodka tonic... but usually just one. so this is perfect because this is definitely just a one drink cocktail. i find it to be sweet enough to replace dessert. don't get me wrong, it's really good i'd just never be able to drink enough of them to catch a proper buzz without getting a tummy ache. you can even add a splash of club soda for just a little fizz. this (non-TJ's) vodka is also really good with cranberry juice and OJ

i saw some new thanksgiving stuff in stores last week
 can't wait to get it all home to try it out!
