Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
For the record, I am a nerd. A nerd for all seasons, in fact. For today, I am an autumnal nerd. I just returned home from a wonderful family reunion in honor of my father's birthday in Chicago, Illinois.
Upon returning home, my refrigerator and cupboards were bare. A trip to my beloved Trader Joe's was required! This is my favorite time of year at Trader Joe's - PUMPKIN SEASON. When Trader Joe's brings out everything and anything in PUMPKIN FLAVOR.
I decided that everything I would buy at Trader Joe's would need to have a pumpkin or autumnal theme. I am such a nerd! But I have been having a blast trying all these new pumpkin products! So stay tuned to LilyOnTheLam.com because I will be posting several Trader Joe's product reviews in the next couple weeks!
My first Trader Joe's product reviews is one of my absolute favorite autumnal products: The Butternut Squash and Creamed Spinach Gratin. The package describes it as a spinach lasagna but with butternut squash instead of noodles.
The refrigerated food item does not look as pretty as the picture on the box, but the taste is delicious. Al dente, fresh tasting butternut squash cut into long ribbons with a tasty, creamy spinach filling inbetween with a hint of nutmeg. It is perfect hearty food for cold weather (or in my case 70 degree weather in Florida). Like the packaging says, it is good for both a vegetarian entree or a side dish. I could eat pans and pans of this delicious, hearty stuff!
Well done, Trader Joe's! You've made this autumnal nerd's stomach very happy! This product may get a C for looks but an A+ for flavor!
