Vodka and Ice Cream

There are two things I always know that always make me happy: ice cream and vodka.

Lots of other things in my life make me happy too, but some days are just that much better if I get to enjoy a favorite vodka concoction and some yummy ice cream.

That being said....I have realized I can't eat and drink all the ice cream and vodka that I want (bummer!!). BUT if serving sizes are accounted for (and logged using myfitnesspal.com, or another website), and vodka is mixed with low or no calorie mixers, I feel like, yes, I can have it all :)

And, what makes extremely happy? Responsibly enjoying my vodka and ice cream (along with other treats!), while still maintaining a fit lifestyle.

In this blog I hope to share some health tips, fun recipes, pondering thoughts and maybe some motivation.

I'll leave with a quick, warm little recipe :)

Cheers!!
