]]>Maple Roasted Vegetables
Using maple is a great way to bring out the flavors of orange veggies like squash, sweet potato, carrot, and pumpkin. Adding in maple with a bit of garlic powder, ginger spice, black pepper, and some smoked paprika is a great combo for a dish that is lightly sweet and with a little zesty bite, as well.
Smoked/Roasted Meat Substitutes
If you’re vegan or vegetarian, you might feel like you’re lacking the smokey flavor you can only get with meat. However, maple can bring out smokey flavors and balance out the savory and sweet flavors. Brush it on with other marinade ingredients before grilling your seitan or veggie burger.
Baked Beans
Beans are a great meal because they are healthy and have a lot of nutrients, too. Thankfully, maple syrup is known to be one of the best sweeteners for baked beans, since its darker flavor truly complements the dish.

]]>Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Donuts
These moist and fluffy donuts are packed with flavor, and you can taste the cinnamon sugar and apples in every bite. They’re even better when served warm!
Trader Joe’s Spicy Chai Tea Latte Mix
There’s no need to head to Starbucks when you can make a spicy chai tea latte at home. The only choice you have to make is if you want it hot or cold.
Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Bun Spread
If you love cinnamon rolls, you have to try this jam that tastes amazing with pancakes, cookies, waffles, toast, or on apples.
B E R!! I’m embracing this last day of chilly weather in SoCal before we head back to the high 80s° and even 90° next week. 
. Gonna enjoy my jumbo pancake with a generous helping of the new Cinnamon Bun Spread from #traderjoes. 
Did I mention I’ve tried the spread on an actual cinnamon roll too? Meta/delish. I wish I had some warm Lucille’s BBQ biscuits bc I would imagine the Cinnamon Bun Spread would pair nicely with it. 
Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
We didn’t know mac and cheese could get any better until we tried these single-serving butternut squash mac and cheese. The rigatoni pasta is blended with a three-cheese sauce, a creamy béchamel sauce, and butternut squash puree.
. These noodles are pretty al dente, which I’m not a huge fan of but it’s still delicious! Who’s pumped for all the fall items to hit stores?? I’m thinking there’s going to be a bunch of fall products dropping this Tuesday!
Trader Joe’s Pepita Salsa
Pepitas—shelled pumpkin seeds—give this salsa a nice crunch. If you want to go full-out fall, serve it with Trader Joe’s Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips, Trader Joe’s Turkey and Stuffing Chips, or Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Tortilla Chips.
Soooooo Good!!! Trader Joe’s Pepita Salsa is a winner!! All I can say is you must get this … you won’t be disappointed!! Warning thou, it’s got a kick … but the good kind! The post The Best Fall Foods From Trader Joe’s appeared first on thedancingcucumber.com.

]]>Beer lovers will find all sorts of pumpkin-flavored brews during the fall, and here are three pumpkin beer styles that you should seek out.
Pumpkin Stout
Stouts naturally go well with pumpkin due to their maltiness and smoky, rich flavor. A number of craft breweries have introduced pumpkin stouts on the market, which go together perfectly with a cool autumn night.
Pumpkin Ale
Pumpkin ales are probably the most en vogue beer containing this autumn fruit, with a wide variety of creations being offered on the market. From coffee pumpkin ales to spiced pumpkin ales, these medium-bodied beers let pumpkin come to the forefront and shine.
Pumpkin Saison
Harder to find but oh so delicious are pumpkin saisons—a modern twist on this classic Belgian beer, which uses natural yeasts and bacteria to create a funky flavor. Mildly sour and occasionally described as “spicy,” pumpkin takes on a whole new flavor when put into a saison.
