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! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it. 
🇺🇸
Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕
Do you eat at the dining room table or do you prefer the kitchen counter?

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I’m so happy it’s half way over. It’s been so busy and yesterday I didn’t feel good. I had Chipotle for lunch and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Ugh!

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
