A few weeks ago you may have noticed that picture on twitter. I had the unfortunate job of taste testing a couple of margaritas for a review on the site. I know. I know. It totally sucked. I mean who wants to spend a night in with their husband sipping margaritas and watching netflix movies.
Ahhhh Who am I kidding. I had blast!
Here’s the deal… Baja Bob shipped me Lime Margarita Mix
Both flavors were good. My only complaint would be the mild sugar free after taste but that’s to be expected… the mixes ARE sugar free. To me it’s a small price to pay for 0 calorie margarita mix. That’s right you heard me.. ZERO CALORIE.
Your average restaurant margarita is at least 300 calories. They are normally gigantic and full of sugar. Using a sugar free mix the only calories in this margarita will come from the tequila, which I believe is about 70 calories an ounce.
Not too Shabby for a cocktail!
Now… due to a mix-up in shipping I received extra boxes of each flavor. I’d love to give them away. Just shoot me a comment below if you are interested and I’ll pick a random winner this Sunday. It’s coming from me so I’ll ship anywhere.
Oh! if you are interested in the ingredients click here for original and here for the mango.
I’m off to bed… getting up early and going for a run tomorrow before work!

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

I LOVE margaritas!
I live in The Land of Margaritas (TX) and I would love to be able to have a rita without it costing me a jillion points.
Lime Margarits and less calories, I am so IN!~
I wanna try it!! Don’t forget me!! :)
hhmmm sugar free margaritas – I could blend it up and make a frozen one! Sign me up!
I’ve heard good things about these, but have never tried them. Would love to, though!
Ah! How exciting, a non-calorie marg! Sounds too good to be true!
I’d love to be included in the give-away. Margaritas are one of my favorite “bad for you” drinks. It would be great to see what our options are for making these at home. Thanks for the offer!
I would love to try this! I have 8 marg glasses that I’ve never used!
Me! Me! Me! My husband always by the tub of Margarita mix and I never join in – those calories just aren’t worth it to me. I’d love to try the Baja Mix.
Love, love, love mango!!!
Roni, I’d love to share in your misery. Put my name in the hat, please!
-Bec
I read a raving review of Baja Bob’s on Hungry Girl and I would like to give them a try!
Mmmmm … ‘rita’s!!!! I would love to try it!
I would love to try these 0 calorie margaritas! The mango sounds amazing. Thanks!
I have always wanted to try these but didn’t want to risk the extreme expense if I didn’t like them.
I love your blog and I love margaritas!!!! Hope to win.
Interested! Interested!
Did someone say MARGARITA???!! With the holidays coming, PLEASE send me some to try! I am going to to tell my Weight watchers group about this one. Thanks for all your helpful information and your hard work at being the guinea pig to try these products out :)
Hate to ask this, but how is it sugar free with sucrolose and maltrexion (sp)??
Cheery you on no matter what,
Sara
They sound yummy! I wonder if you could use rum in them instead of Tequila?
hope I am not too late! I have been painting all day and could really use a MARGARITA!!!!! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! :)
How awesome! (I know I’m late, but wanted to comment anyway!)
I am diabetic so this is amazing to be able to enjoy a drink and not have to worry about sugar in the mix, just the alchohol!
And they’re good?! No way!
Barb – TOTALLY! Rum would be awesome! :)
who won?
I’m waiting to hear back from on of the winners before I announce. I may have to pick another!
