I would say that on any given day there is almost always a pitcher of sweet iced tea chilling in my fridge. We are a family that loves our iced tea. But occasionally this mama gets busy and life happens, and we will go a day or two (or sometimes three) without a fresh pitcher of sweet tea to enjoy, and then one of us is bound to find ourselves wishing we had a glass with dinner. Or we will get a craving for a flavored iced tea. Or I will have a guest over for dinner or a cookout who prefers their iced tea unsweetened. This is why I am so glad that I recently discovered Lipton K-Cups. Lipton K-Cups allows me to easily solve all three of those little iced tea dilemmas in mere minutes!

Simply pop a Lipton K-Cup in your Keurig and brew over ice. It doesn't get much easier than that, folks. And making a fruity flavored iced tea for one is just as easy! But instead of regular ice cubes, you use fruit juice ice cubes like I did for this refreshing & fruity Peach Mango Iced Tea for One...

Orange & Cinnamon Infused Iced Tea

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central for CRYSTAL LIGHT. I received a gift card to purchase CRYSTAL LIGHT products to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

The holiday season (aka, the eat everything season) is fast approaching, folks. Typically, I cut myself some slack during the holiday season and allow myself to indulge in the baked goodies, and the big holiday dinners, and all the sweets that come with it, but this year is just a little different for me.
I am going on a cruise in January. Like mid-January.
To the Caribbean. Yikes
For the first time ever in my entire life, I will be required to be swimsuit ready months before I am usually even thinking about being on a beach or lounging poolside. 

So, I am forming my plan of attack now. Weeks before Thanksgiving dinner.
While I will still be treating myself to marshmallow topped sweet potatoes and frosted Christmas cookies, I am also going to be making some small changes like stepping up my gym workouts and cutting calories elsewhere.

One of my weaknesses is sweet iced tea. We almost always have a pitcher of homemade sweet tea in our fridge.  And while I love sweet tea, I don't really like the extra calories from the sugar in it.
