As anative Floridian, you could say I was raised on Publix.

As a teenager, I boughtPub Subswith my friends and we took them to the beach.

Much later, as an adult, I moved back down South to Alabama.

Publix was the first place I drove our rental car and it felt like coming home.

All of this is to say that I am very well-versed in the world of Publix products.

(And I am not the only one who feels this way.)

Tender and squishy, they are the ideal roll for any throw in ofsandwich.

And they freeze well too, which is a good thing to know if they are on sale.

(Same goes for their brioche hot dog buns.)

I also buy a loaf of bread at the bakery every week.

Our favorite is the Publix Mountain Loaf, which comes in white or wheat.

If it’s available, I prefer the pre-rolled kind, like you see here.

Add sometoppings, and dinner’s done.

(I think the secret is celery salt, but that’s just a guess.)

My son goes crazy for their fried chicken tenders, which have a wonderfully crunchy and craggy crust.

Ice Cream

I appreciate Publix’s steadfast commitment to seasonal ice cream flavors.

They just keep ‘em coming all year long!

We eat it a lot, but it never seems to get old.

(And looks like commenters feel the same way!)

Key Lime Pie

When I’m not making my ownKey lime pie, this is mygo-to option.

It’s the right shade of pale yellow and super creamy.

And the ring of almonds around the edge makes it a little different.

Canned Chickpeas

What can’t a chickpea do?

These legumes find their way into so many of my recipes, and Publix is my go-to brand.

I’ve also served them at brunch when I didn’t have time to makemuffins from scratch.

The blueberry and banana-nut flavors are equally good.

I also like the Mardi Gras flavor, which is available seasonally.

Milk

Publix GreenWise milk has been my go-to for years.

It’s always fresh and tastes just as good (if not better) than other organic milk brands.

I also like that there’s a lactose-free option.

Pub Subs

How could I not mention thePub Sub?
