‘Tis the season for eggnog, Aunt Betty’s famous mashed potatoes, sugar cookies, and fruit cake (for the 3 people on earth that actually like fruit cake) … it’s also the season for gaining weight. The average person gains 7-10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. So how can we have our cake and eat it too? Well we could get in a quick workout each day, but the calories going out rarely exceed the calories going in. For instance, you can jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes and only have 3 oz of a cocktail or spin on a bike for 30 minutes and you can only enjoy 3/4 cup of egg nog or go on a walk for an hour and that will score you 2 buttered rolls on your plate. So we thought we would come up with some recipes that are still festive, but won’t pack on the pounds.

It’s that time of year where everyone gets together for a football and food frenzy. If you can’t be at the game, aim for the next best thing: watch the game with friends in the comfort of your own outdoor living room. So ditch the truck tailgate and fire up the grill in your backyard for a “pigskin” pregame party.
… just something to think about!
How ’bout something to wash it all down?
2/3 cup pineapple juice, chilled
1/3 cup vanilla flavored vodka
1 dash grenadine syrup
2 pineapple wedges
2 maraschino cherries
Pour the pineapple juice, vodka and grenadine into a shaker full of ice. Shake, then strain into two glasses. Garnish with a piece of pineapple and a cherry on a skewer!
I have a lot of experience with construction and renovations, so some contractors find me annoying at best. My outdoor living project was larger than I was able to take on as it entailed adding an outdoor living area, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom with a fireplace and fire pit. It’s built onto an existing structure with a tile roof in a seamless manner. The completed project is amazing, and was featured in the Houzz project of the month for December 2013. It was a very large project so it took a long time to complete, however the process was absolutely painless. In my previous experiences, I have always had issues with miscommunications and added costs, among other things. My experience with Texas Custom Patios included NONE of these issues. The finished project far exceeded my expectations. The workmanship was superior, and the quality of the products is top of the line. I truly highly recommend them.
