Summer Vacation Bound? Vacay Foods Giveaway & Recipe Collection

{Don’t miss the Vacay Foods $150 Giveaway and the Summer Vacation Recipe Collection at the end of the post!}

The Summer Beach Trip – you going?  I’d like to throw a personal pity party…. this is the first year in many that I am staying home-bound for the summer.  You know, third trimester and all.

Fortunately, most of you are not in that same boat and can head out to your favorite beach vacation spot.  I’m guessing that many of you are will be heading to sunny Florida over the course of the next few months.  I can’t complain.  I had a delightful family vacay to the Keys earlier this year. (Although it was a wee bit chilly and I was a lot bit ill from early pregnancy.  But once again, not complaining.)

For those Florida bound this summer, you’ll be greeted with beautiful sunny days, ocean breezes and… if you’re smart – groceries delivered to your vacation rental home!  On our January trip to Florida, and practically every other time we’ve gone to the beach as a family, we’ve rented a vacation home.  It’s so great to have a whole house, in a convenient location, and with the ability to make your own meals.  The bummer is grocery shopping.  Who wants to go to the grocery store when you can be sitting in your beach chair, drinking a Corona, while the kids build sand castles?  Not me, my friends.

Well, if you’re traveling to the Emerald Coast of Florida, you can order from Vacay Foods which offers delivery service of over 2,000 grocery items to your vacation rental.  Shop pre-arrival, or if you happen to run low on diapers or beer mid-vacation, they can deliver same day too.  I’ve gotten the run-down on their most popular items, and they are competitive with Publix…. Your cereal will still cost you under four bucks and that beer will be at normal grocery store prices.

Oh, and even better?  If your order is over $50 – free delivery.  Under that, and it’s a flat $4.99 fee.  To get the skinny on all of the Delivery Info for Vacay Foods or to get shopping for your upcoming Florida Beach Trip click here: http://vacayfoods.com/.  They are currently serving areas between Fort Walton and Panama City (zip codes include: 32403, 32455, 32580, 32547, 32408, 32439, 32413, 32569, 32407, 32435, 32541, 32566, 32461, 32550, 32579, 32563, 32459, 32542, 32548, 32561, 32437, 32578, 32544)

And, because I love you, here are a few of my go-to vacation recipes that are easy to put together and can feed a crowd:

Beer ‘garitas (I mean, come on.  They’re uh-maze-ing!)

Homemade Salsa (Nothing goes better with that beer’garita!  Process in the blender, or just chop those tomatoes real well.)

Classic Seafood Boil (Get local seafood and staples from Vacay Foods.  Serve outside on newspaper covered tables for easy cleanup.)

Barbacoa Beef (Bring your own slow cooker if your house doesn’t have one.  That way dinner can cook while you are hanging out at the beach!)

Stoplight Pasta Salad (Have a ocean-front picnic!)
