Red, White, & Barbeque with #LuckySummer

Red, White, & Barbeque with #LuckySummer

I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #LuckySummer campaign, sponsored by Save Mart. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

Fourth of July is just around the corner, which means barbeques and fireworks galore! This year, I’ve partnered with Lucky to get all of my grill essentials and partake in #LuckySummer.

With my busy schedule, I appreciate a one stop shop where I can get high quality ingredients all in one swoop. Thankfully, my local Lucky has everything I need to get grill-ready and add some unique, global flavors to my barbeque!

Being the planner I am, I decided to do a dry run of this year’s Fourth of July menu. The menu will include juicy steaks with bright peppers, a caprese orzo salad, and a summery stone fruit salad made with peaches. Since Lucky is one of the only Bay Area grocers to sell certified Angus Beef, I decided on the boneless ribeye steak with an easy marinade. Picking ingredients for the sides was easy since Lucky offers fresh local California produce and fresh cheeses.

Check out my Fourth of July menu below and stop by your local Lucky to pick up your summer grilling essentials!
