Cranberry Orange Spritzer

November 25, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Normally on Monday’s I try to post a recipe for a smoothie, but since Thanksgiving is on Thursday, I thought I would share with you a holiday drink instead.  After all what are the holidays without a cocktail or two?  And with my cocktail you can have two and not worry about guilt!  You have to love that!!

Cranberry Orange Spritzer
My Cranberry Orange Spritzer is light, bubbly, full of flavor and you can even make it non-alcoholic for the kids or yourself! It’s made with champagne (omit for kids) Cranberry Juice, freshly squeezed oranges, stevia and club soda. The drink is so easy to make and get this, only 53 calories a glass. Woohoo! Hey I guess you can have more than two. But just remember, don’t over do it because theiris alcohol in it.

Cranberry Orange Spritzer
To make this drink a little festive I topped it with fresh cranberries and a sliced orange. I just think it is so pretty. I love adding fresh fruit in my drinks, however I don’t usually eat them because woowee fresh cranberries can be tart!!! Hey I just thought of this, but you could also freeze your cranberries and use them as ice cubes in your drink. 🙂
Cranberry Orange Spritzer
To make this drink low-calorie, I used Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice. It’s only 5 calories for 8 oz. I love Ocean Sprays Diet line, so many fun flavors and no guilt! Also I added club soda to give it more bubbles then the champagne, and after all we like more bubbles. The cranberry juice can be a tad tart so I added a dash of stevia in it to sweetened it up. You can use your own preference to how much sugar you want to add.

Cranberry Orange Spritzer
I thought I would give you Guys a little update on my dairy free-living. I have done pretty good staying away from dairy. Remember the first week I lost 6lbs? Well I gained 3 back. Sigh… But I discovered some things. One, soy milk makes me sick, and I mean sick! I had heartburn, pain in the stomach, gassy and just plain, OMG I”m going to die pain. I had this for about a week. Nothing would work to get rid of it! I tried tums and gasx and still nothing. I figured out it must be the soy milk and sure enough the pain, bloated and bubbly stomach ache went away when I stopped drinking soy. I did go to my doctors this week, and she told me stay away from soy milk. The body can’t digest it and it is also known to cause breast cancer and other side effects. She also had me take a blood test to see if I had Celiac. I don’t think I do, I get the results next week. She also had me make an appointment to see a gastrologist to see if I am indeed lactose intolerant and if there could be something else causing my stomach issues. That appointment isn’t until December. In the meantime she told me to stay away from soy milk and dairy, so that I will. I’ll keep you updated. She said if all else fails she is sending me to a nutritionist.

Well that’s it for me today. Going to practice making pie today.


Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    This looks so festive! I am going to try it during the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Have you tried almond milk? I buy the unsweetened vanilla & use it to make shakes.

    I also recommend unsweetened original (plain) or vanilla almond milk. That’s all we drink in our family and I totally love it. I use it for everything (alfredo sauce, baking, any recipe that uses milk, etc.) and haven’t had any issues with it not working as expected.

Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary!

I styled my outdoor seating area and added some patriotic decor. Can you believe it’s almost Memorial Day? I created this little tray by using my new Mango Wood Stars that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they so cute?

The Mango Wood Stars are solid wood and they stand on a mango wood base. The stars are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree. 
🍒
What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Do you have any plans for Mothers Day?
