Hey guys – hope you had a merry Christmas yesterday! I’m loving being with my family so much right now, but I have to say that over the holidays, I miss my girlfriends! I wish everyone (and I do mean everyone) I love could be in one place. I decided to remedy this by hosting a pre-holiday girls night before I left LA.
When it comes to girls nights, you can’t go wrong with a few bottles of wine, am I right ladies? So I picked up a few bottles from Skinnygirl® Cocktails - particularly the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay. It’s funny because usually I don’t like red wine (it’s usually too dry for me), but I actually love the Skinnygirl® Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s smooth and not bitter at all. Best of all, nobody can complain about the calories... deeeeeelish.
If you’re trying to plan a girls’ night or a party for friends, here are a couple of pairing options to try with your cocktails (it matters!). I know that around the holidays we tend to get bombarded with the cheesecakes, cookies, cupcakes…all the dangerous C’s! So, I wanted to make a delicious spread that people didn’t have to feel too guilty about indulging in.
Favorite Pairings:Fruit - grapes, strawberries, applesPeanut butter Greek yogurt cinnamon dip (SO yum!)Wasabi peasHomemade popcorn - great snack, low guilt!Veggies & hummusRosemary olive oil-infused crackersCheese - gouda & cheddarSmoked turkey slices (thinly sliced)Almond & sea salt infused dark chocolate pieces (mmmm!)I hope you all have a fun, safe and happy New Year! See you in 2017! Cheers!
