Choosing champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate the holiday season is a nice low-calorie alternative to spirits or beer, but when I'm craving a cocktail, a plain glass of Prosecco doesn't always do the trick.
If you're looking for a nice cocktail to enjoy this holiday season, try my refreshing rosemary pear sparkler. It makes a great aperitif, and the flavors of pear and rosemary really tie together the feelings of Fall.

I have my own private food blog that I thought you guys would be interested in.
I haven't been very active in this group with new recipes because they're all going into this new blog.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.
Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.

So being the lime lover that I am, I brought a big VOSS bottle to work. I never enjoy water by itself unless its room temperature, but I had to spruce up the cold water. I took some 2 whole limes and cut them up and squeezed the juice into the bottle.
