Hello Wednesday!
It’s the middle of the week which means that the weekend is
just around the corner! Woo! This weekend is going to be crazy! I’m doing
something big---shh it’s a secret though. Here’s a hint---it has to do with my list J Last
weekend we played in a cornhole tourney and lost...BLL. Oh well,
we had a blast anyway. We made new friends, ate lots of yummy food, and Jesse
and I took our first trip on the MARTA! Look out for a future post on all the
funsies we had last weekend.
Today starts a new feature, {drink and be merry}, where occassionally
I’ll be posting some of my favorite beverage recipes. It’s summer which means
you must stay hydrated especially if you spend a ton of time under the sun.
Today’s beverage---the lime sprizter, is a perfect way to do just that. It’s
non-alcoholic, but can easily turn alcoholic with a shot of your preference. We’ll
save that for the weekend---or at least 5:00 (hehe). I love this drink because
it is low cal and incredibly refreshing. It also fits in perfectly with my
healthy eating plan. Since cutting out soda, I find myself craving some fizz to
go with my meals every now and then. Sometimes I cheat and steal some sips of
Jesse’s soda when he’s not looking. I remembered awhile ago that my dad never
drank soda when we went out to eat but would instead order a club soda with a
twist of lime. It seemed to satisfy that fizz craving for him, so I gave it a
try and really liked it. I’ve never liked flavored waters because they always
add sugar (and I hate sweet water---not the beer..ha). I don’t even add
anything to my green tea. This lime sprizter was just what the doctor ordered. Plus,
I can have several without worrying about the effects on my waistline.
lime spritzer:
Ingredients:
1 lime
How To:
Step 1: Fill a glass with
club soda.
Step 2: Slice the lime in
half.
Step 3: Squeeze both halves
of lime into the club soda.
Step 4: Stir, add a few ice
cubes, and enjoy!
Whatttt? That’s all? No more steps? Yep. It is just that
easy. So kick back, pour yourself a spritzer this evening, and watch the sun go
down. It’s gorgeous outside!
