Quarantaining poolside

In the midst of these crazy days, one of the things I most miss is entertaining and socializing with friends. I have satisfied my desire to continue to be creative in the kitchen by entertaining my family—no social distancing required! As the Store Team Leader at the downtown Sarasota Whole Foods Market, I am surrounded by the best seasonal, local and delicious food available and always inspired to create healthy and satisfying meals for my large family. On this special day, I curated an easy but special Summer Pool Party menu that is customizable for your family too.

All of the food and floral arrangements in the photos were provided by Whole Foods Market downtown Sarasota and I have highlighted some of the best that summer has to offer.
