Saturday, June 18, 2011. Have I told you that I love Bethenny Frankel? I think she is hilariously funny and I appreciate her raw honesty. I also think she has one smokin' hot bod! So awful, in fact, that once her margarita mix made it big, I could not be convinced to buy it. Instead, I decided that I could come up with my own Skinny Margarita recipe. So, you know what? 1 part white Tequila. 1/2 part freshly squeezed lime juice. 1 part soda water. A splash freshly squeezed orange juice. 1 Tbsp Agave Nectar.

Thursday, January 27, 2011. I scream, You scream, We all scream for ice cream! My best friend and I just did our Christmas exchange last week (yes, we're a little late, but sometimes it's hard for busy ladies to coordinate schedules - especially around the holidays! She surprised me with the Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt - Ice Cream and Sorbet Maker. What a treat! I served the ice cream with my favorite homemade brownies. 1 C whole milk, well chilled. 3/4 C granulated sugar. 2 C heavy cream, well chilled.
