There's no use fighting it, it's PUMPKIN TIME - Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake - Aldi $3.99
Pumpkin-pocalypse 2017 wasted no time taking over grocery store shelves. I was going to wait a little longer before dipping my toes into any pumpkin spiced products, but apparently stores have begun putting up Christmas displays?! It's insane how quickly stores cycle through holiday goods! There's no use fighting it, the seasonal limited edition product gods have spoken, it's pumpkin-time. 
I won't be going full-force into the pumpkin product reviews like previous years where I did a new pumpkin product pretty much every day from now until Christmas (and sometimes beyond), because...well, I'm sick of pumpkin. (*collective, internet gasp*) I know, I know, a food blogger, sick of pumpkin? In the fall?! I used to live for this season, and I purchased every pumpkin product that came my way, but I've pumpkin'd myself out to the point where one full foodie-cycle through the year just isn't enough time for my taste-buds to recuperate. I over-pumpkin'd, and now these items that I was once so hype for, make me cringe a little. I'm sure with time I'll be back to my basic, pumpkin-loving, self, but for now, I am taking baby steps to get myself back into the fall-spirit. 
Personally, my mind is still in summer mode. However, this was the last package of this particular flavor at Aldi, and it won't keep for very long, so my curiosity, practical nature, and frugality banded together to inform me that it's better to review it now than to let it slip through my reluctant fingers. 
Enough rambling, let's eat some cheesecake!

Pumpkin Butter - Trader Joe's: Marlton, NJ

Pumpkin Butter - Trader Joe's: Marlton, NJ
I grew up in a household where Apple Butter was a breakfast staple. My Hungarian grandpa loves the stuff, so we'd eat it on toast, or mixed into oatmeal and cream of wheat. It reminds me of my childhood. (Plus, it's yummy.) It wasn't until I was an adult, with my own money and ability to grocery shop, that I found out there there were different fruit-based butters. Up until my late teens, I really thought apple was the only kind out there, but after I discovered the joys of pumpkin butter...there was no going back. I've tried a few different brands over the years, but I haven't found one that I am entirely loyal to. Maybe the cult of Trader Joe's will finally draw me in with this one.

Is It Fall Yet? - Pumpkin Whipped Topping

Pumpkin Whipped Topping  - Shop Rite
No, we haven't traveled back in time and no, the Pumpkin Invasion of 2019 hasn't started early. I'm just a hoarder.
I bought this last fall thinking it would be an easy item to review that would get me back into the habit of blogging. We both know that didn't happen, but it has been in my fridge ever since.
Back in my blogging heyday, I used to go all out each fall and review pumpkin-flavored everything. We're not just talking Pumpkin spiced lattes. I've reviewed teas, pasta sauces, ravioli, pumpkin salsas...pretty much anything I could get my hands on. And you know what it did? It burnt me out. Big time. After three years I went from big ol' basic pumpkin-lover to a hater.  
After all this time off I've started to become interested in a few pumpkin products, but I've never fully recovered. Still, I saw this and found the idea intriguing. I mean, nothing goes better with pumpkin pie than whipped cream, and this would up the pie factor by at least 1000%. (I totally used real math skills there. It's a legit number.)

Target Exclusive Noosa Pumpkin Yoghurt - Target: Cherry Hill, NJ

Target Exclusive Noosa Pumpkin Yoghurt - Target: Cherry Hill, NJ
I still have so many pumpkin items to review and I'm running out of time! I'm going to stick to my current schedule for now, where I post pumpkin reviews every other day, but I won't be reviewing any more pumpkin items in December. So, if I still have things to review come Nov 30th, I'll have to have a massive pumpkin posting party. (Although I think I might be able to squeeze everything in. This might be my largest collection of pumpkin items yet!)
