13 Trader Joe's Foods You Have to Try This Fall
Don't let the ninety-degree temperatures fool you. Summer is winding down and with the start of fall comes so many of our favorite things: wooly sweaters, decorative gourds, not perpetually sweating. And, of course, the bounty of seasonal foods at Trader Joe's. Every year, the popular grocery store brings back our old fall favorites and wows us with some intriguing new treats.
While the autumnal lineup is still rolling in, let's pause to revel in the foods we spend all year waiting to come back around (full disclosure: most of them are some shade of orange and include pumpkin). Check out all of the Trader Joe's seasonal staples making it into our grocery carts this fall, and stock up before Pumpkin Season fades and Peppermint Season is upon us.

Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
In varieties like Lobster or Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomato, the Trader Joe's selection of fresh ravioli always impresses, and the Honey Roasted Pumpkin is no exception.
Honey and molasses roasted pumpkin-filled squares take just a few minutes to make, and with a simple sauce of melted butter and a shaving of Parmesan, dinner is served.
Apple Pie Cheddar Cheese
One of TJ's new fall offerings may sound strange at first, but have you ever tried a slice of cheddar cheese on top of a piece of apple pie? It's one of those combos that shouldn't work but does.
We're definitely open tasting this playful new cheddar — combined with chopped apples boiled in apple cider and spices — on football game days and get-togethers throughout the season.
Organic Butternut Squash Soup
Not everything in our pantry needs to be pumpkin this season. (Just most things.) Made with autumn's other gourd, this rich and creamy soup makes for a simple dinner (paired with grilled cheese, even better), or heat up a mug in the microwave for a healthy afternoon snack.
