Now that we are several weeks into the LiveSTRONG program that we launched at our gym last month, it’s time to introduce participants to new things that relate to their overall health and wellness. Each week we’re going to bring in a guest – typically a group exercise instructor or a speaker – to either…

Loving Our LiveSTRONG Group

November 6, 2013 by Julie 44 Comments

Livestrong-at-the-YMCA

Yesterday was a busy one. I didn’t arrive home from work until close to 10 p.m. and was more than ready to curl up under the covers and quickly fall asleep when I walked through the door. Our LiveSTRONG group meeting was particularly emotional yesterday and while I don’t feel comfortable sharing too much, all…

Good morning and happy, happy Friday! I’m ready for the weekend! I didn’t get a chance to pop in and blog again yesterday because it was a go, go, go kind of day. It was also a two shower kind of day! Thanks to the hot Florida weather, I ended up looking like quite the…

Guilt Trippin’

Guilt Trip

Oh hey there! I hope your Tuesday has been nice and productive. Sadie has been working hard on perfecting her guilt trip face. That pitiful look worked on me, as always, and she got a bite of my string cheese as I typed up this blog post. I’m such a sucker. Work After I published…

Instagram post 2191873802065169562_40044681 Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine: The simple, low-maintenance, crowd-pleasing holiday beverage you've been looking for to make for your next holiday party! 🍷✨ This is my go-to recipe because it's warm and comforting and just sweet and cinnamon-y enough to feel like a festive holiday drink. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are the steps:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Throw everything into a slow cooker⁠⠀
Allow mulled wine to warm up on “low” for an hour⁠⠀
Reduce to “warm” and top with a sprinkle of thinly-sliced oranges and cranberries⁠⠀
Walk away and enjoy your party⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And the ingredient list is simple, too! Find the full recipe on the blog here: https://www.pbfingers.com/slow-cooker-holiday-mulled-wine/⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Oh and please do not feel the need to splurge on an expensive red wine for this recipe! I once had a sommelier friend of mine tell me that when it comes to making mulled wine, simply choose a red wine you like to drink. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it simply has to appeal to you without all of the added ingredients that morph it into a deliciously sweet holiday favorite. For this batch, I made the Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine with a $6.99 bottle of Wellsley Farms’ Cabernet Sauvignon from @bjswholesale. Once you pour it into the slow cooker and fancy it up with thinly-sliced oranges 🍊 and pops of cranberry, no one will know you used a bottle of wine that cost less than $7 in the recipe anyway! Enjoy!!! #ad #mulledwine #holidaydrinks #holidayrecipes #slowcooker
