Yes, I admit it – my name is Lys and I watch Bravo’s Real Housewives.  What can I say – it’s a guilty pleasure for many.  I, personally, enjoyed the NY season and I am looking forward to all points Jersey (but hello – why not Real Housewives of Philadelphia – Bravo, take note! We’ve got Main Line, Manayunk, Rittenhouse, etc.) However, I digress.

One of the characters that was enjoyable this season was Bethenny Frankel, the natural foods chef and owner of BethennyBakes and Skinnygirl Cocktails. We’ll have a review of her book Naturally Thinin the next week or so (with giveaway so stay tuned) but, since it IS Cinco de Mayo, one needs a margarita to celebrate properly, no?

I, for one, will be trying the Skinnygirl Margarita. No more pre-blended mixes for me. This one looks super simple and, quite frankly, to have a margarita that is not packing on a walloping 740 calories a serving, is even better in my book.

Check out the recipe below for the standard Skinnygirl Margarita as she is often drinking on the show…
