Well guys we are now into the second week of the Viva Italia sale. You probably noticed that many of the awesome deals from last week are still available PLUS we have more great deals that started up today.

This is the best time to stock up on tons of great brands to help you put together some of the best Italian dishes and recipes. You get all your favorite ingredients at fantastic prices so you can create delicious home-cooked meals that will bring your family running to the table.

Based on all the comments and emails, it seems that I am not the only one who loves this sale. I’m not at all surprised. After all, Italian food is always a welcome addition on any table. Whether you are cooking up a big feast for a large crowd or just preparing an intimate dinner, you can’t go wrong when you serve up an Italian specialty!

Heck, even an everyday meal becomes something special when you add some Italian flair to it. Boring meatloaf can be brought to life with the addition of a few key Italian herbs and cheeses. A basic vegetable casserole becomes a new family favorite when you add some Italian flair! The options are endless and thanks to the deals available at Publix you’ll get everything at a great price!

I love roasted veggies so this one just calls my name. Of course my guys will be searching through the veggies looking for the meat. Maybe I’ll toss in some grilled chicken just to keep everyone happy!
