I still can't believe it's been a month since we were visiting family back home in California & Mexico! As I was going through pictures from our fun trip last night, I got a rush of nostalgia & felt incredibly homesick. I wish I could hop in the car and visit everyone again!
Kroger is a store we'd never heard of until we moved to Ohio but we have quickly grown to love! They have some really amazing programs in place that make them stand out & shine {in my opinion}. Like their fabulous Fuel program which brings down the price of gas {per gallon} when you gradually accumulate points as you shop throughout the month. With fuel rewards that good, it will make summer travels a lot more affordable.
The fuel program is great and it rewards you for purchasing fresh food from Kroger. From all of our friends & family, picturesque views (playas), to the yummy Mexican food, there are so many wonderful things to miss about being back in my hometown! Although, we still have a couple road trips planned for this Summer, I'm fully aware that Cali won't be one of them :(. I wanted to share a recipe: carne asada tacos with a spicy mango salsa, with ingredients from Kroger that will help you get the most fuel rewards for your summer travels! This is a great recipe to bring to summer bbq’s and family get-togethers. These turned out really really good, so I wanted to share it with you today!
If you want to make a really moist & flavorful carne asada, I suggest letting your flank steak marinate over night so it can fully absorb all the flavors. You can find my favorite carne asada marinade {here} that I use on all our meat {It comes out amazing every time}.
Before I got started cooking, I needed to make a quick pit stop at Kroger to get my produce & steak. They have a really amazing selection of fresh locally sourced produce {at a great price}, so my family can always have the fresh seasonal produce they love! I also love that I get Fuel rewards for shopping at Kroger.
Do you have a Kroger near you?
I love that it's a one stop destination and whether you're looking for fresh produce, grocery items, bakery, flowers or fuel you'll always find a great selection {I've yet to be disappointed}! If you haven't already received a free Kroger Shopper’s card, head here to get yours:)!
But back to the yummy Mango salsa I was talking about earlier. It is super simple and only takes about five minutes to put together.
This is what you'll need: 1 tomato, 1 onion, 1 jalapeno, 1 mango, 1 lime, cilantro, 1 avocado and a dash of salt.
- You'll simply dice the avocado, mango, onion, and tomato into small cubes and then place them in a bowl.
- Then toast your jalapeno & dice it, chop your cilantro and add it to the bowl.
- Mix everything really well and add the juice of a lime and a dash of salt.
- Mix thoroughly and enjoy:)!
What are you looking forward to this summer?
