gg-blog-jpg_192223With Award season in full swing (November-February), we’re less than a day away from the first major award show of 2014, the Golden Globes. It will be broadcasted live on NBC from 8pm Est until. I don’t know about you, but around my house, award shows are a big deal. The friends, the family, the debate on who should win, and most importantly the food & drinks.

So who’s taking home the big ones? A lot of stiff competition for Best Motion Picture, not to mention Best Actor/Actress with some real heavyweights nominated. For me, I usually use this award show as a reminder of what movies I need to go finally see, but with all the drinks getting passed around at our watch party, I sometimes need to write them down or catch a “recap” the next day. Speaking of drinks, we’re passing along some delicious drink recipes courtesy of SkinnyGirl featuring several of their low calorie line of wine and spirits. With a lot of you still attempting to hold on to those New Years resolutions, Skinnygirl has you covered. Check them out below, and enjoy the show.

Cheers!
