Summer is here and you know what that means, poolside drinks and grilling up yummy food. Who says being stuck at home is a bad thing? Thanks to a quick trip to Northgate Market I was able to pick up the ingredients I needed to make for a wonderful day with the family. What brought me there on this day was their great seafood selection and knowing they sell all natural shrimp directly from the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. No trip would be complete without their in-house made guacamole and pico de gallo that is made fresh and has no preservatives! Don’t forget to pick up a few agua frescas! One of the reasons their agua frescas quickly became a favorite is because they use organic agave syrup.
Sunny and I had a lot of fun prepping our fish and shrimp for the grill. Cooking together has been a great way to bond, pass on some skills and keep her busy. We kept everything really simple since it was just a quick fun meal to have as we spent the day by the pool. The best advice I can give you is to get quality ingredients, involve your loved ones and enjoy the process!
