Last year Safeway, with the generous help of our customers, raised over $11 million dollars for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

For many of us, the cold weather has hit full force - and if you’re like me, you may not be the biggest fan of a cold winter. There’s a great way to send your mind back to those warm days and nights. Eat some citrus! The unmistakable sweet taste of citrus always reminds me of summer days. A great deal of the orange crop comes from Florida and California. Most of Florida's oranges are turned into juice because its warmer, humid climate can leave their rind with a green tinge. Although their juice is sweeter than those grown in California's cooler evenings and lower humidity, California's climate produces a more attractive looking fruit with higher acid levels. There are so many great varieties to choose from, whether you’re picking out oranges, lemon, or grapefruit. Pick out your favorite this week during Safeway’s citrus sale!

I love a great deal on the products I use, particularly around the holidays! This year Safeway has a “Holiday Daily Deals” promotion (it started yesterday) that has an amazing price on a single item in the store each day between now and Christmas Eve. Keep an eye out in the ad for the products; I saw some great prices on holiday essentials like flour, chocolate morsels, rolled oats, and pies!

As an avid fan of seafood, I have tried many concoctions of dry rubs and wet marinades to prepare my fish and shrimp. I typically tend to stick to the basics; olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon, etc. On rare occasion, I’ll venture out for a bit more flavor to try some of the gourmet spices, but I sometimes regret paying the extra money for a full can of expensive spice that I may not completely use for a while.

Recently, the Safeway seafood departments began a new marinade program that perfectly bridges the gap between my traditional ingredients and the expensive gourmet spices. You can now get a free packet of waterfrontBISTRO® seafood spices and rubs with any seafood purchase.

Choose from these 5 varieties: Cuban Mojo (Tropical blend), Chimichurri (Argentine BBQ style), Charmoula (Moroccan flavor), Tandoori (East Indian flavors) or American Smokehouse. These .4oz packets are perfect for (2) 6oz fish filets or approximately 1lb of shrimp. 

The ingredients in all 5 varieties are natural so you don’t have to worry about any processed junk polluting your perfectly healthy seafood dinner. I highly recommend trying one of these to flavor your next Seafood dinner. Just ask for a free packet with your next Seafood purchase, and then let me know how it worked out for you. I’d love to hear which flavors are your favorites!
