Keto Margarita Drink

Sometimes doing keto is tough.  Lately I've been struggling with cravings for sugar packed "girly drinks" I shouldn't have.  After scouring xxketo and Pinterest, I found a margarita recipe that sounded pretty good.  I ended up making my own version for lazy people who don't like messing with a blender and/or strawberry lemonade.  I think it is wonderful even though it's fairly plain.

You need:

• Crystal Light margarita flavor
• Vodka or other alcohol of your choice

Prepare the pitcher of Crystal Light according to the directions and refrigerate in advance.  Pour a glass and add vodka or the alcohol of your choice.

Chicago Trip

Jeff and I headed to Chicago to meet up with a few of our college friends to see Lord of the Rings in concert at Ravinia last weekend.  While we were there, we also did a food tour of Wicker Park and Bucktown and headed up to Milwaukee for Irishfest.  It was an amazing weekend with little sleep had by all, but totally worth it.  I thought I'd share a recap of our food tour by Chicago Food Planet.

Stop 1:  George's Hot Dogs

Hot dogs are a big deal in Chicago.  This is a Chicago dog, but it wasn't exactly how I expected it to be.  There's no neon green relish!  As a non-hot dog-eater, this was a decent dog.

Jeff's Birthday Dinner

Jeff had his birthday dinner at The Barking Frog in Woodinville this week.  He'd been wanting to go for quite a while, so we figured there wasn't a much better time than his birthday.  The atmosphere was lodge-y, but not so over the top to be a turn off.  We really liked that the menu had a lot of options that would work for keto even though we were taking a night off.
