Skinny Hippie Peach Sunset

Ok so I'm trying to become a little more creative with my drinks trying to get as low cal as possible!!

Peach Sunset

You'll need a 1 oz shot glass and a martini glass. Also it's calls for peach vodka, toasted coconut, a little Karo Lite syrup(don't worry just to coat the rim!), grenadine and orange rise crystal light.

First toast your coconut. You can do this in the oven or in the microwave for about 30 seconds but watch carefully it can burn quickly! While it's toasting Lightly(It doesn't take hardly any at all) coat your rim with the Karo Lite syrup. To me it was easier to use the tip of my finger to do this so not to use too much! Next put 1 teaspoon of grenadine into the bottom of your martini glass. Then add the vodka and half a packet of crystal light. Next top it off with Sprite zero! Now you're got a refreshing drink ready for summer!! Worth only 90 calories!!! Enjoy!!

Good Morning!!

Well after my pre march madness work out( I will post tomorrow!) I wasn't very hungry so I decided to go with a light breakfast. Also I woke up with a cleaning itch wanting to clean everything.. Well sadly I have to work today and definitely don't have the time this morning! But luckily I only work until 2pm today so I can when I get home... I hope I still want to clean and won't have to make myself do it!!

So about the Green Machine! It looks weird and even sounds a little weirder when you read the side that tells you the fruit servings and what's in it. But this is so yummy. And at 140 calories per 8 (filling)oz it's not a bad breakfast! This would also be great if you're detoxing or going Ina liquid diet for a day or two!!

Soo here goes it!!

I have been posting on here a few Skinny Hippie Recipes and Drinks(my new name for low cal recipes) So today I decided to measure my waist. My waist I was ok with.… then I measured my hips and Wow! I didn't expect it at all. I will go ahead and say I weigh about 143lbs and at 5'6.5 that's not a bad weight but my waist measures at 35 inches then my hips go up to 40 inches... That would probably be the big butt that my mom teases me about! I don't want to lose weight, I want to be healthy and fit! So tomorrow starts my first work out day!! So here we go!! I will post my new Skinny Hippie recipes and drinks whenever I make them!! So Stay Posted!!

My Skinny Hippie Pomegranate Margarita

This margarita is only 85 calories!!!! Seriously!

You'll need tequila, ice and 1 packet pomegranate crystal light. I am using a 1.25 oz shot glass and also a shaker. If you have a normal size shot glass it will most likely be 1.5 oz instead of 1.25 which will work. If using a 1.5 oz shot glass the drink is still only 100 calories!!

Take your martini glass(any glass will work!) and salt the rim. Next take about 1/2 cup of ice and pour into your glass. Next measure out 1.25 oz of tequila, pour into shaker. Next take Half of the packet of crystal light and mix with a cup of water, pour it into the shaker. Shake a few good times. Now pour over the ice and Enjoy!!

Skinny Hippie Quesadilla

This makes two servings

1 Chicken Breast
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp fat free Zesty Italian dressing
1 tbsp lime juice
2 slices of American fat free cheese
Homemade salsa
Tortillas(2)

Chop chicken into inch pieces then put into a small skillet at medium heat. After a few minutes add all the ingredients to the chicken and let it finish cooking. Next set chicken aside. Set oven to 425 degrees (I have a quesadilla maker so it's a little easier for me) Put half the chicken onto your tortilla. Tear the slice of cheese into small pieces, put on top of the chicken. Next top with salsa. Put your 2nd tortilla on top and pop it into the oven just enough to melt the cheese and toast your tortillas. And there you go!

It's roughly 310 calories per serving for a quick and yummy lunch! The calories can vary due to how low cal you can find some of the ingredients and what you like to use. Also you can cut the calories by 100 calories if you only use one tortilla and just fold it over!


And stay tuned for my skinny hippie margarita tonight!!

…So tired...

Well I just got off work from a shift that was only 8 hours but felt like 16. But I have had a pretty good day before that. But I've got BIG news!!!!

Drew had a job interview and got a call back, which he ended up getting the job!! Which is great because it is a job and seems like a good one on to have! The only semi scary part is we are now moving… which is kinda scary because there will be a lot of changes. 1. I have never really been away from my family except for an apartment 10 minutes away 2. I have never lived anywhere were I don't know at least 10 people(I will know one in the general area about 20 minutes away). 3. We are moving into the city, from a small town that I grew up in. 4. It will be my first time paying rent/utility bills in two years.

On the other hand I am very excited to be able to move somewhere different, and I'm excited to be able to decorate the new place(wherever it may be). It will be a new area and a new beginning. As well as a new opportunity for me jobwise. Also a Huge step for me and Drew :). I've looked at a few places around the area and most of them are super pricy so I'm hoping we can find a cute place at a reasonable price :-). I will keep you guys posted!

For now though I'm going to enjoy my skinny cocktail(for recipe look below) and watch an old favorite of mine, Hercules, before I just fall asleep.

Until Next Time!!!

Skinny Cocktails

So this is my version of a yummy cocktail with about the lowest calories you can get!

In this drink I had 1.5 shots of vodka(any flavor) over ice. Next I used half a packet of Orange Rise crystal light then pour sprite zero(any zero calorie lemon line soda will work!) then stir! So easy and refreshing not to mention low cal!! Enjoy!

I have also tried the blueberry crystal light with this and it is So good too!

Let's get started!

Well this is probably my third attempt at a blog. My first blog tried two years ago which was a food and recipe blog. As you can see didn't last. The second one I created was on a weird site with no customizing whatsoever, which I hated. I love customizing almost everything! So here we go! As I said in my description this will be a pretty random blog. I have a lot of new recipes I've been wanting to try along with a lot of DIY ideas! I will also probably get on here time and time again to talk about my week. Now a little more about me. I call myself simple/complicated. Because some of the time I love simple things and live a simple life but there are a few times in my life were things get complicated. I am a little nerdy/weird too but in a good way. I think I might have been born in the wrong time period because I truly am a hippie at heart. I try to embrace that side of me. I love to cook, enjoying a good housecleaning session now and again. I love handmade things whether it's a blanket or a random DIY lampsahde bowl(which btw I will be making soon so stay posted!) I have a wonderful family and a wonderful boyfriend named Drew. I also have a wonderful dog named Tucker. If you haven't noticed yet I have a lot of wonderful people and things in my life. I am very blessed and I keep trying to remind myself of that when I get stressed! Well so I guess this is it for my blog opening so ✂🎀 Yay for Grand Opening!
