Hey Skittles!!!!!

Guess what I found!! I was up near Trader Joe's yesterday & decided to go in & look around. Well they had Apple Butter & Pumpkin Butters!! I was going to make both - but then I saw these & just decided to buy them!! Oh and I got Organic Brown Rice Cakes - Lightly Salted.

They sound so good!

That will save a lot of time!

Let me know how you like them

DO they look like PB? When I think of Apple butter I think Apple Saucy like... How do they taste? If you tell me the pumpkin tastes like Pumpkin Pie I will faint...

Check Jens log....I put a recipe in there for pumpkin butter, that may be healthier....I made it & it was good. It's canned pumpkin (low carb!) & the spices to taste like pumpkin pie. You can spice it extra! I was putting it on triscuts & heating it up......you could put whip cream on the top.

The pumpkin butter at Trader Joe's is to die for....I can't even buy it because I will sit there and eat it with a spoon. Surprisingly it's fairly low in sugar-but I have no self control!

Hi Jen-

Can you elaborate on this ? Is it the consistency of PB ? I have had Apple Butter , but it truly was butter... very yummy, I smothered it on a warm homemade biscuit But those day's are over now

Did I start something with my Pumpkin Butter ravings in my log?

Yes Bunny, it tastes as close to pumpkin pie as I remember PP tasting like. You can check my log for a Pumpkin Pie Frappuchino that I made with Protien mix.

It's not quite the consistency of PB, but thicker than apple sauce. It is my new favorite food "thing" right now.

...which is why I'll hop my ass far away from this stuff... that's for sure

I'll have to check out the PPF for fun

I think I'm behaving until Thanksgiving... and I am SO excited for that food!!! I've always made good choices but this year, I'm going to try and create a total 'healthy' Turkey Day menu and EAT EAT EAT ... I will Prolly consume half a Pumpkin Pie with whipped as well... BREAD, Stuffing, Pie...Oh my...

I have NOT opened either one yet - so I don't know what they taste like but I will let you all know when I do!
