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.

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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I h Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I have shared anything with you. I have been busy cleaning up the yard, and my day job has been so busy. Hope you are doing well.

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
