If you have teenagers...girl ones....

Just thought I would share this helpful picture.  We need to work together to make them stop!

For all you wanna be wino's....

The below chart breaks down the mystery of wine.  If there was a one page "wine for dummies" this is it!

Here's to the weekend!

You guys never get sick of cocktail recipes, do you?  Good, me neither.  Folks in the midwest,  this one is for you…clearly the only thing to do in weather like this is drink heavily spiked coffee. 

 Listen to your inner voices!!

A dip to love....without all that nasty guilt!

Yummmm......


I think Pinterest is an amazing place to find recipes and ideas. However, I have had quite a few unsuccessful attempts at making a Pinterest recipe. I prefer to use recipes that get good reviews on websites or that have already been tried out by my friends or family. So I wanted to share a yummy snack recipe with you! Nic and I had this while watching the Bachelor a couple weeks ago and we LOVED IT! It uses lots of veggies and low fat ingredients so I did not feel too guilty snacking on it. I will for sure be making this in the summer when I am actually poolside! Try it out yourself!
Skinny Poolside Dip

1 red pepper, 2 jalapenos (unseeded) or seeded if you love it spicy, 1 can of corn, 1/2 can diced olives, 16 oz fat-free cream cheese (softened), and 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dip seasoning mix. Mix ingredients together. Serve with crackers or raw veggies.

See pic below and try not to make it!
