It’s Margarita Monday!! It’s a good way to start off the week, am I right? I love a good fresh margarita, but I don’t always love the calories. I created a Fresh Skinny Margarita. Made with freshly squeezed lime juice and orange juice, mixed with a little agave and, of course, a good tequila. Enjoy your margaritas and as always, I love to hear your thoughts!
