My Guilty Pleasures

I feel for the most part, people have guilty pleasures. Whether it's a tv show, an author, a type of food or beverage, we all have them. Here are some of mine!

Cream - it's vodka infused whipped cream. I've only had the chocolate flavor, but wow what a great thing to add on top of your iced cream!

Flip Flop Wine - I enjoy a nice glass of wine and was excited to see brand that is dedicated to summer. They make a nice array of wines. My favorites are the Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. Try a bottle. You won't be disappointed.

Since summer began, I have been grilling just about every food in our house. If you like pineapple, you will love grilled pineapple. I buy a pineapple every week and grill it to perfection.

I don't really have many shows that I watch but I do watch Real Housewives of New Jersey. I think it's great to see people make fools of themselves for a national audience. Now I can't wait for Orange County to come back!

Best Snack Ever

As someone that is trying to lose weight and keep it off, you have to be creative with your foods. You want the same taste but in lower calorie, carb and fat form. It's definitely not easy but with some innovative ideas you can accomplish just that.

We always keep a light, no sugar added ice cream in the house because it's a tasty treat and low in PP value. About 2 weeks ago I picked up some bottles of soda that were on sale (since we never have it to offer to people when they come over) and grabbed a Fanta Zero because orange soda is just yummy.

The other day I was in the mood for some kind of frosty beverage and saw the soda in the fridge and had the brilliant idea to make a root beer float. How can a creamiscle beverage not rock your socks? It was so delicious and only 2 PP!!
