Contest is now closed. See comments below to see if you won! So, I don’t know about you but the Holidays were whirl-wind for us!!! They blew by so fast. I am just now really taking in the fact that they are over. This season we traveled from the West Coast to the East Coast to spend the Holidays with our family! It was wonderful….but it was busy.
There was not much “rest and take in the Holiday season” going on. So David and I took this weekend to take things slow and get our lives back on track after all the travel and running around.
One thing I really wanted to catch you all up on is my new cocktail obsession!!!
Before the Holidays Truvia, a zero calorie sweetener made from the best tasting part of the stevia leaf, sent me some products to try with some great Skinny Cocktail Ideas! They provided me with recipes to all my favorite cocktails made Skinny!!! These are guilt-free drinks that taste amazing!
I wanted to share a couple of my favorite recipes that they provided…. Oh, you want to try Truvia? Keep reading, there just may be a little giveaway waiting for my beautiful blog readers.

Great Natasha! Let us know in the comments how much you like Truvia.
The idea of a “stevia inspired” simple syrup is wonderful! I have been a stevia user for years and am thrilled that products like Truvia are now bringing this wonderful herb to everyone’s attention. The jar is great for use in recipes since it produces much less waste than individual packets.

Made the Mojito tonight. Added a little extra lime and mint. I’m not a big stevia fan but the simple syrup was amazing (and didn’t taste stevia-y). I did rim the glass with lime and sugar for effect. 🙂
Great to hear!! Thank you for sharing!
This is a really great site. I can’t wait to try all your recipes.
Thanks so much! Have a great week 🙂
Amazing! I did substitute the vodka for silver tequila (I’m more of a tequila girl) it was much better then my go to tequila with seltzer and lime! Thank you!
