Easy White Sangria for Holiday Parties – Stuff we Eat

The holiday season is always a busy time for all of us. Gifts to buy, decorations to put up, and parties to attend! We host Thanksgiving and Christmas parties at our house every year with our friends and our parties wouldn’t be complete without my sangria 🙂 I change it up every year, sometimes I do red sangria and sometimes I do white. Plus, it’s super easy to prepare. Just chop and pour into a punch bowl and you’re all set! This year I went with a white since I was looking for something more light considering all the meat and carbs we’ll be eating haha!

Ingredients:

  • Your favorite white wine: 1 bottle (I use chardonnay)
  • Vodka: 1/2 bottle
  • Champagne: 1 bottle
  • Ginger ale: 1/2 bottle
  • Canned peaches: 1 can, diced large
  • Fruit cocktail or canned pineapple: 1 can
  • Fresh orange: Sliced in rings or half moons (depending on size)

Note: Feel free to use fresh fruit, it makes it even better! But you’ll need to add more ginger ale to give it more sweetness or some simple syrup. When I don’t have time I use the canned because all the sweetness from the canned fruit is just right that I don’t need to add any other sweetener.

Instructions:

  1. In a punch bowl, add all your fruit then all your liquids.
  2. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve cold or over ice.

Cheers!

2017 Goal Setting – Stuff we Like

“For auld acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

and days of auld lang syne.”

I never want to forget who I am, and the people I’ve met that shaped the woman I am today. I know that it’s still the first week of december but this is the time of year where I do a lot of self reflection. I’m a big believer that there is always a lesson to be learned, always room for improvement, and always adjustments that need to be made. I’m never one to be standing still, I need movement. I need progress, especially so I can be a better person. And when the year comes to an end, I usually try to soak up all the Christmas cheer while I start thinking about how I want to improve my life. I usually come up with a word that sums up my goal for the following year. In 2014 it was Simplify. 2015 was Journey.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have one in 2016 because this year was a bit crazy to say the least. But if I did have 1 word to sum it up I think it would be Grace. It was by the grace of God that I got through this year. Through all the heartache and uncertainty that his year brought, I still have faith that God is with me and that He wants what’s best for me. I know, you wonder how? Sometimes I wonder too, but that’s a whole blog post in itself. 🙂

I’m not quite sure what I want my word for 2017, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. What I do know is that I want more of the good things in life, and less of the bad. Don’t you?

Heroes v Aliens CW Crossover Week – Stuff we Like

GUYS. You know how much I love good TV. Well, for a long time Arrow and The Flash have been my favorite TV shows to watch. The story lines, the characters, everything about it I just really like. When they came out with the Suicide Squad movie I was so disappointed! Why would I watch…well, whatever. That rant is for another day lol.

Tomorrow, the CW week long crossover begins with Supergirl and I’m so excited! I love love love it whenever The Flash and Arrow cross over in previous seasons and I’m expecting this one to be epic! Just take a look at the trailer:

 

RIGHT?!

Ok, the CW, don’t let me down! Stay tuned for my review on Friday!
