Another TJ goodness is their Autumn Harvest Pasta Sauce. I bought 1 jar last Nov and know it was a seasonal item. The first clue was Autumn - duh me. Hoarding this year.

Sorry - posted twice - how do u edit on iPhone? I wanted to say didn't know it was seasonal which changes the whole context of the post.

I was rather excited to read the title of this thread. "Trader Joe Find...Rave" But was disappointed again that all that people like from this store is junk, fattening food. That's why I've walked around TJ's many times and outside of the usual produce department they have nothing, nadda, zilch in the healthy eating options. Too bad.

The Autumn Pasta sauce is Fabulous. I used it with the Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli. One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. I really like the Pumpkin Tortilla Chips and Harvest Salsa. They were giving samples of the Sticky Cake and it is really really good. This is my favorite time of year to shop Trader Joes.

I don't shop there anymore because they de-emphasize anything that isn't full of honey or sugar. Their own brand cereals are sweeter than Fruit Loops with evaporated cane juice leading the ingredient list. As a self proclaimed reformed sugar addict, I need to avoid their stores.

I love Trader Joe's. It is a destination stop for me! They have some things that I can't find anywhere else. My favorite being their Satay Sauce. Use it on so much!

I also love their selection of fresh mushrooms, the dipping stick cookies, frozen rice selections...I could go on and on!

STICKY PUMPKIN CAKE. I was at Trader Joes the other night and wanted to pick up their pumpkin ice cream (which was, of course, sold out again) but I spotted this. I grabbed this to try since it said it was new for them for Fall this year. You just put it in the microwave on a plate for a minute and half. Flip it over and it pops out of the container with this unbelievable warm toffee glaze that just oozes out all over the top. . It is the most moist, pumpkiny cake. It was warm and gooey like a sticky pudding cake. They recommend putting vanilla ice cream or whip cream on it. I didn't have either but it would have made it even better. Highly recommend if anyone's interested!

@LeoGrl  Do they recommend that I put it on a plate when I take it out of the microwave, or apply it directly onto my hips?

Is this cake sold fresh or frozen?

A little off topic but..........I think Trader Joe mail order would be a home run!!!!!
