It’s true when they say that there’s a recipe for every moment we value, for example, during Winter when the weather gets cold and family comes together to celebrate the holidays mamá or the tia served the same authentic dish every single year. They serve it because they know the family enjoys it and it becomes a tradition during that time of year. So now that it’s summertime, the grilling gets started, parties in the backyard, at the beach- as moms we look for easy meals and snacks for everyone to enjoy on hot summer days.
One of my favorite summertime snacks has to be fresh fruit, in Mexico after shopping at the plaza, my dad would buy us a Coctel de Frutas from the local street vendor. You could either choose a cup filled with your favorite fruit or mixed, topped with a spicy chili powder and freshly squeezed lime juice- it was the perfect refreshing afternoon snack I needed on warm sunny days.
This refreshing snack has been popping up in every store I go, but it’s so simple and easy to make I decided to save some extra bucks and shop for the items and make it myself. I love shopping at Kroger because they always have fresh local produce at low prices, and with their coupons and sales/promotions I get to save even more. I’ve always said how much I love saving money but not a big fan of using paper coupons, at Kroger I can easily download digital coupons from their app directly onto my Shopper’s Card, making my savings at the checkout a breeze!
Kroger has everything you need for all your summer entertainment, from a wide variety of fresh cut meats, mouthwatering seafood to paper plates and plastic cups for less cleaning after your guests leave. And if you’re looking for fresh, colorful flowers to liven up your home, then stop by the Floral Department at Kroger. I found beautiful floral bouquets that would make any room pop at an affordable price.
Just another perk that comes from shopping here, making life easier for you and for me. Whether your next get together with family and friends is big or small, planned or unexpected, you know that Kroger offers you the low prices, convenience, quality and rewards you need to fuel those moments that you and your family value most.
