Game Day Essentials From Trader Joe’s

This is what I came home with…

I had so much fun shopping for these “Game Day Essential” foods. Having a focus made it really fun and I was able to grab all of these items plus a few more that you will see below all for around $65. Not too bad, right?

The minute I got home the kids basically attacked me 🙂 in hopes that they could start snacking. The only item they got away with were the dark chocolate covered almonds. I really don’t blame them! In the days since we have had fun testing out most of the items pictures and I have to say they were all winners! Especially the deep dish chocolate chip cookie!

I Listed The Items Below

Salsa Especial & Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips/Chili & Lime

Italian Marinara Sauce & breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Blood Orange Seltzer Water & Sparkling Limeade & French Berry Lemonade

5 Cheese Greek Spiral

Chocolate Chip Cookie ( our favorite)

Pastry Pups

Chicken Taquitos

Trader Joe’s Produce

Trader Joe’s has the best produce and our family loves guacamole so I snagged some tomatoes and avocados so I could make Joanna Gaines’s guacamole recipe from her new book, Magnolia Table. I just got it for Christmas and I have been eager to try one of her recipes.

* Random fact: 7,152,287 Avocados sell the week before the game and it’s estimated that Americans enjoy 8 million pounds of guacamole on this day every year! 

The guacamole turned out delicious and was so yummy paired with these organic taza blue chips from Trader Joe’s! I highly recommend this combo and so does my family. In fact, so far everything I have tried from her beautiful cookbook is absolutely yummy!

Of course I also picked up these gorgeous flowers while I was at Trader Joe’s.  You can’t beat their prices on flowers! I used my tips for keeping the hydrangeas alive the minute I got home and they are still going strong almost a week later!
