Hey snow bunnies! We’re getting into holiday drinks today.. including an unreal boozy dessert. So at one of my big family dinners a couple weeks ago I obtained some preeeeettttyyy fabuluxe drink recipes for the holidays.

It’s typically a summetime drink but why not in the winter too? Okay so just add Prosecco + Pinot noir + club soda {or gingerale if you’d like a bit of sweetness} + a bit of triple sec. Toss in some orange slices + cranberries if you’re making a batch instead of by the glass. VOILA. {photo from CompletelyDelicious.com} Xmas Margaritas Speaking of summertime drinks… what else do we hold […].

Hay again I’m liking this multiple visits a week thing we have going on. Okay but seriously. This weeks obsession is nuPasta. Omg you guys it’s unreal!!! It tastes like real pasta WITHOUT the carbs.
