&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The Drinking Girls are enjoying their summer vacation and we hope you are too. &amp;nbsp;To help you with this, we are announcing our next giveaway, sponsored by My Kind of Cooking. &amp;nbsp;In their honor, we are calling it "My Kind of Giveaway!" &amp;nbsp;And we think it is, indeed, your kind of giveaway. &amp;nbsp;This is a Followers Appreciation Giveaway, so there are no levels to be reached to draw a name and there will be TWO winners! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.mykindofcooking.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W7FQRlwnLJI/UAadNzqZmdI/AAAAAAAAAyg/XVTP5xTNTaA/s1600/Linda+Burgett1-2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Linda Burgett, of My Kind of Cooking, has donated TWO of her books for our giveaway. &amp;nbsp;Linda is definitely our kind of cook! &amp;nbsp;Her book, My Kind of Cooking, has over 500 recipes, all that use no more than three, four of five ingredients. &amp;nbsp;You can't get any easier than that! &amp;nbsp;Her second book, Busy Woman's Slow Cooker Cookbook is a dream for any busy girl! &amp;nbsp;Throw it in the pot and forget all about it! &amp;nbsp;Don't worry! &amp;nbsp;If you don't win one, you can buy one off of her website, &lt;a href="http://www.mykindofcooking.com/"&gt;My Kind of Cooking&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
We really want to show our appreciation for all your support. &amp;nbsp;We are one a bit of a summer hiatus, but i&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;t's not all fun and games, of course, as we are working on our second book, The Drinking Girls Guide to Perfect Party Planning. &amp;nbsp;We are typing up our finished recipes and working on testing the rest...More to follow from the Test Kitchen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;
We are feverishly working on getting all of out recipes for our second cookbook, The Drinking Girls Guide to Perfect Party Planning, tested and typed up! &amp;nbsp;This one, our delectably delicious Caprese Salad Stick recipe. There are alot of recipes for Caprese Salad and Caprese Salad style sticks, but ours is extra special because we soak our tomatoes in a special blend of balsamic vinegar, onions, garlic, basil AND vodka!! &amp;nbsp;This recipe is a part of our Itty Bitty "Tini" Weenie Cocktail Party complete with Martini Bar! &amp;nbsp;So vodka was and obvious choice!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5rEs35TafvM/T__JN7cFW2I/AAAAAAAAAxw/oeaXWfh-G7o/s1600/IMG_0961.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5rEs35TafvM/T__JN7cFW2I/AAAAAAAAAxw/oeaXWfh-G7o/s400/IMG_0961.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
We start with some grape tomatoes and cut a little "x" in the bottom...this helps with the marinating and easy "skewering..."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz7BHQhIoc0/T__JXLLlcMI/AAAAAAAAAx8/Rvf3hcx4KzM/s1600/IMG_0962.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz7BHQhIoc0/T__JXLLlcMI/AAAAAAAAAx8/Rvf3hcx4KzM/s400/IMG_0962.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Marinate the tomatoes in the fridge overnight...or longer if you like...The longer they sit in the marinade, the more flavor in the tomatoes...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wC1O5azEA44/T__JghxDv1I/AAAAAAAAAyE/TbNJqtxKnIU/s1600/IMG_0963.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wC1O5azEA44/T__JghxDv1I/AAAAAAAAAyE/TbNJqtxKnIU/s400/IMG_0963.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
About 30 minutes before assembly, toss in your mini bufala mozzarella balls, so give them a little of that special flavor. &amp;nbsp;They should not marinate for much longer because the alcohol can dry out the mozzarella balls...This super easy and tasty recipe can also be served as a simple salad or as Caprese Salad Bites on toothpicks...Later this week, stay tuned for our version of Twisted Slaw! &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JAS3DnHBDHc/T__KCLgrs6I/AAAAAAAAAyM/uxiLMKGyoKY/s1600/IMG_0964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JAS3DnHBDHc/T__KCLgrs6I/AAAAAAAAAyM/uxiLMKGyoKY/s400/IMG_0964.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;Doing our best to being you the latest and greatest in wine-related news, and so we bring you the following article from &lt;a href="http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20410287_3,00.html"&gt;Health.com&lt;/a&gt;...Cheers, Ashleigh &amp;amp; Tiffani, The Drinking Girls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;The list of wine’s benefits is long—and getting more surprising all the time. Already well-known as heart healthy, wine in moderation might help you lose weight, reduce forgetfulness, boost your immunity, and help prevent bone loss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
With America likely to edge out France and Italy in total wine consumption in the near future, according to one analyst, and with women buying more than 6 out of every 10 bottles sold in this country, we’re happy to report that wine may do all of the following:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1. Feed your head&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Wine could preserve your memory. When researchers gave memory quizzes to women in their 70s, those who drank one drink or more every day scored much better than those who drank less or not at all. Wine helps prevent clots and reduce blood vessel inflammation, both of which have been linked to cognitive decline and heart disease, explains Tedd Goldfinger, DO, of the University of Arizona School of Medicine. Alcohol also seems to raise HDL, the so-called good cholesterol, which helps unclog your arteries.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2. Keep the scale in your corner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Studies find that people who drink wine daily have lower body mass than those who indulge occasionally; moderate wine drinkers have narrower waists and less abdominal fat than people who drink liquor. Alcohol may encourage your body to burn extra calories for as long as 90 minutes after you down a glass. Beer seems to have a similar effect.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;3. Boost your body’s defenses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
In one British study, those who drank roughly a glass of wine a day reduced by 11% their risk of infection by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Helicobacter pylori&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;bacteria, a major cause of gastritis, ulcers, and stomach cancers. As little as half a glass may also guard against food poisoning caused by germs like salmonella when people are exposed to contaminated food, according to a Spanish study.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;4. Guard against ovarian woes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
When Australian researchers recently compared women with ovarian cancer to cancer-free women, they found that roughly one glass of wine a day seemed to reduce the risk of the disease by as much as 50 percent. Earlier research at the University of Hawaii produced similar findings. Experts suspect this may be due to antioxidants or phytoestrogens, which have high anticancer properties and are prevalent in wine. And in a recent University of Michigan study, a red wine compound helped kill ovarian cancer cells in a test tube.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;5. Build better bones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
On average, women who drink moderately seem to have higher bone mass than abstainers. Alcohol appears to boost estrogen levels; the hormone seems to slow the body’s destruction of old bone more than it slows the production of new bone.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;strong style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;6. Prevent blood-sugar trouble&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', lucida, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Premenopausal women who drink one or two glasses of wine a day are 40 percent less likely than women who don’t drink to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a 10-year study by Harvard Medical School. While the reasons aren’t clear, wine seems to reduce insulin resistance in diabetic patients.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;One of the things we love about blogging is being able to connect with people all over the world who are doing amazing things with food, wine and entertaining! &amp;nbsp;We feel it's our job to bring these wonderful people into your life through the power of technology! &amp;nbsp;We can learn from one another and encourage each other all at the same time! &amp;nbsp;So, in that spirit, we'd like to introduce you to Abbey from &lt;a href="http://everydaychampagne.blogspot.com/"&gt;Everyday Champagne&lt;/a&gt;! &amp;nbsp;She had us from the get-go with a title like that! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;Abbey is a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;stay-at-home and hard-working mother of two. She's worn many hats as a personal chef and shopper, a caterer, a wine seller and more. She loves to use her blog to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;share original recipes, personal stories and helpful tip&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;on shopping, meal-planning and cooking. Abbey says that &amp;nbsp;most of her recipes are created out of desperation... throwing things together because it's simply what she happens to have in my kitchen. the result has been some amazing and creative meals that she can share with her readers! &amp;nbsp;We suggest you become a follower and share in all the fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fDzFsY17cmI/T8yVn3f7VWI/AAAAAAAAAvo/ws14cwp2x_g/s1600/Abbey+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fDzFsY17cmI/T8yVn3f7VWI/AAAAAAAAAvo/ws14cwp2x_g/s1600/Abbey+2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Abbey's philosophy is simply this, "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;I believe that you should never wait for a holiday to cook the best food you can, and that Everyday is as special as the next. If you're smart about how you shop and cook, you can drink that metaphorical (and often literal) bottle of Champagne Everyday!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;One day, when my children are older and in less need of mommy, I hope to make this my full-time career. Until then, I hope I can entertain you a little, teach you a lot, and make a few new friends along the way."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Here is a little sample of what you'll see over on Abbey's blog, "Everyday Champagne." &amp;nbsp;This post was entitled, "My Kind of Red Velvet!" &amp;nbsp;She uses red wine and dark chocolate to take this classic to a "whole nother level!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://everydaychampagne.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ceV2SUPjfY/T8yVuWFp98I/AAAAAAAAAvw/vPB-QBKrGNU/s320/everyday+champagne.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;"I don't believe in Red Velvet Cake. I know people call it their favorite, but I just don't get it. It's a barely chocolate cake with enough red food coloring in it to just make it weird. Seriously. If it wasn't blood-red would people even care? But I do believe in Red wine. And Dark Chocolate. And combining the two. I love a Velvety Red wine with notes of Coffee and Chocolate so why not just turn it into a cupcake?! I served these the other night when my girlfriends came over for drinks and nibbles. I think they were a big hit among the ladies...there were a lot of groans and eye rollings so it was kinda hard to tell.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Now, you know that I often use cake mixes as the base for a lot of my cake recipes simply because I get so much for free, or close to it, with my couponing. I do know how to bake from scratch, but sometimes when you've got two little kids demanding your attention and affection, and you have the box within arms reach, it's just easier to not have to measure a couple things. I have a wonderful&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Chocolate Cake Recipe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;that can be used in place of the mix (just the dry ingredients) if you're anti-mix. But I don't have a moral issue with the boxed mix...I'm adding so many things to it it's barely a Pillsbury product anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;So, here they are- I hope you enjoy them as much as my gals and I did!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

Mix this with an electric beater until all the dry ingredients have been moistened and there are no more lumps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;-Line 2 muffin pans with liners (18 cupcakes is what I usually end up with) and grease each liner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;-Using a medium sized ice cream scoop, scoop some batter into each cup, filling it all the way up (these have a beautiful rise, and I like a big cupcake but if you want more, smaller cupcakes, fill them only 3/4 of the way).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;-Allow to cool completely on a rack before frosting (recipe below).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;-In a medium bowl mix&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;2 bricks of Neufchatel cream cheese&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;, softened, along with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;1 stick of unsalted butter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;, softened,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;a pinch of kosher salt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;1/2 cup of powdered sugar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;a good splash of kahlua or other coffee liqueur&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;. Beat until fluffy. Frost your cooled cupcakes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;-Dust each cupcake with cocoa powder or top with dark chocolate shavings if desired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;(*I used&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devils Food Cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;, but I am always using a different brand considering I'm only 'buying' them because of the sale/coupon match-up)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;(**Although these aren't my favorite red wines to sip, a very oaky California Cab or a Rioja are great choices for your baking because of the vanilla aspect to their flavor profile. But, by all means, use whatever you have!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;(***I used the Hershey's 'Air Delight' Kisses because that's just what I happened to have. They are creamier than the standard kiss, which worked perfectly for this recipe)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;We can't wait to try Abbey's recipe...nothing says Drinking Girls like RED Velvet Cake made with RED wine!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The Drinking Girls are moms as well as business women and that means the end of the school year is a BUSY, BUSY time! &amp;nbsp;Are you with us, ladies??? &amp;nbsp;So the last couple of weeks have been a blur and we haven't had much time to blog! &amp;nbsp;So it's update time! &amp;nbsp;We are busy working on our next book, The Drinking Girls Guide to Perfect Party Planning, so that means less time for classes and tastings if we are going to roll out this new book in time for Christmas rush! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
But don't worry, we'll be around...we will be holding our Follower Appreciation Giveaway and profiling some of our favorite blogs in cyberspace...all while corralling the kids and enjoying a little down time! &amp;nbsp;Look for sneak peeks of our new recipes here all summer long!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;

Ahh, what could be better than cheesecake?? Hmmm...cheesecake with tequila! &amp;nbsp; Haha...as we started brainstorming for cookbook #2, we started thinking of ideas for our Drunken Desserts section. &amp;nbsp;Ashleigh LOVES cheesecake, and with a Mexcian inspired menu going into the cookbook, a Margarita cheesecake seemed like a natural choice! &amp;nbsp;The Drinking Girls are all about quick and easy entertaining. &amp;nbsp;We don't have time for Springform pans and tons of ingredients. &amp;nbsp;If your life is anything like ours, life is going to to throw you six or seven curve balls on the day of your get-together, so a recipe like this, that is "no-bake" and can be made up to a week ahead of time is a real God send. &amp;nbsp;Here's some pics from the Test Kitchen. &amp;nbsp;Full recipe will be available in our new cookbook, The Drinking Girls' Guide to Perfect Party Planning, coming out this fall!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Since Ashleigh still lives in Europe, she needs this transformer to run her 110v Kitchen Aid Chopper. &amp;nbsp;It is the best way to turn pretzels into pretzel crumbs!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Preparing this pan is easy...just line with regular sized paper cupcake cups...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

A little sugar and butter go into the pretzel crumbs to make our pretzel crumb crust for our mini cheesecakes&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Once it's ready, we spoons the mixture into the cups and press it down to form a nice even crust!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Now for the cheesecake filling...we start with soften cream cheese and some sugar...Once that's "mixed" up, it's time to mix our tiny margarita...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wUimkAn_bww/T6I0dNMAI1I/AAAAAAAAAro/y_pROxOHSDA/s1600/IMG_0822.JPG" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wUimkAn_bww/T6I0dNMAI1I/AAAAAAAAAro/y_pROxOHSDA/s400/IMG_0822.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
We used Cuervo Gold Tequila, Cointreau (a subtle orange liqueur) and store bought Margarita Mix...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sMgy2_EENTM/T6I0yJp5OjI/AAAAAAAAAr4/B7A3gmhPU1Y/s1600/IMG_0824.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sMgy2_EENTM/T6I0yJp5OjI/AAAAAAAAAr4/B7A3gmhPU1Y/s400/IMG_0824.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Then it's down the hatch, or in the bowl, in this case...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
We use our mixer again to blend blend the margarita and cream cheese mixutre, then fold in the whipped topping...Can you say yum????&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-do-s7br0wi0/T6I1Y2gBdQI/AAAAAAAAAsY/N_HSOKb3LOs/s1600/IMG_0828.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-do-s7br0wi0/T6I1Y2gBdQI/AAAAAAAAAsY/N_HSOKb3LOs/s400/IMG_0828.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
Wow! &amp;nbsp;Doesn't that just look luscious???? &amp;nbsp;You could stop right here and serve it as a mouse, but we like the blend of the salted pretzel crust with this...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9LJ9vdAZ1k/T6I1hvkon6I/AAAAAAAAAsg/RzSS-Qc0ge4/s1600/IMG_0829.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9LJ9vdAZ1k/T6I1hvkon6I/AAAAAAAAAsg/RzSS-Qc0ge4/s400/IMG_0829.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
So we spooned it over our preztel crust, covered it in foil and threw it in the freezer...they are ready to serve in 3 to 4 hours, or save them for a week...how's that for make ahead, huh? &amp;nbsp;you might even be able to get a massage on the day of your dinner party...haha...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
When we bring in our Tasters, we are going to have them taste it with sugared lime zest and let us know what they think...either way, if you like margaritas, you'll LOVE this dessert!!! &amp;nbsp;Cheers!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition-pictures/skinny-cocktails-for-any-occasion.aspx#/slide-1"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d6cJik0jfmQ/T6LSfQe2WhI/AAAAAAAAAto/Aj0AfiBPPiI/s400/drink-recipes-intro-01-pg-full.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
According to &lt;a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition-pictures/skinny-cocktails-for-any-occasion.aspx#/slide-1"&gt;EverydayHealth.com&lt;/a&gt;, "Knocking back just a few drinks with friends can easily sabotage your diet. &amp;nbsp;But with these recipes, you can satisfy your cocktail cravings and lose weight, too. &amp;nbsp;When you're out with your friends or celebrating with family, it's all too easy to get caught up in the moment and have an extra cocktail or two. And unlike the headache you'll have in the morning, the damage to your diet can't be undone by the afternoon - especially if you were swilling the wrong drink. &amp;nbsp;After all, a pint-sized frozen margarita can have nearly 800 calories, and a Long Island Iced Tea can pack a whopping 1,043 calories and 58 grams of carbs (mostly sugar), says Elizabeth Somer, MA, RD, author of Eat &lt;i&gt;Your Way to Sexy&lt;/i&gt;." &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
EverydayHealth.com has taken on some of our favorite cocktails and made them delicious without all the extra calories. &amp;nbsp;We LOVE Gin and Tonics, so we will be trying the Slimmed-Down Gin and Soda tonight, and come Saturday, we'll be mixing up the Cinco de Mayo Mango Margarita to go with our &lt;a href="http://www.thedrinkinggirls.com/2012/05/drinking-girls-margarita-guacamole.html"&gt;Drinking Girls' Margarita Guacamole Recipe&lt;/a&gt; we shared with you yesterday.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
We are so excited to announce that we will be offering our own Drinking Girls Acrylic Stemless Wine Glasses. They are fantastic for outdoor entertaining...super lightweight, they don't break and they are SUPER CUTE!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The only catch is that we have to order ALOT of them if the company is going to customize the glasses for us. &amp;nbsp;SOOOOO...we are going to be taking pre-orders for sets of 4 glasses. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;A set of four is only $24 AND if you are a NetworkedBlog Follower of this blog or a Member through Google Connect, you can get your set of four for only $20.&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;That's only $5 a glass simply for signing yourself up as a follower! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We need 25 Pre-Orders for sets of 4 in order to be able to do the customized order!&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Contact us, email us, facebook us, stop us in the grocery store to reserve your set of 4 today!!! &amp;nbsp;Once we've reached 25 pre-orders, we will invoice everyone for the the cost of the glasses. &amp;nbsp;Once we receive the glasses from the company and determine the shipping, we will invoice you for the shipping and send out your glasses to you. &amp;nbsp;If you are local to Tiffani or Ashleigh, you won't be charged shipping. &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;We'd like to put in our order for these Drinking Girls Acrylic Stemless Wine Glasses in the next 2 to 4 weeks&lt;/b&gt; to make sure we all have in time for our outdoor party needs! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;

Ashleigh did this with her in-laws at the cafe in her Spanish neighborhood on Friday! &amp;nbsp;Our Facebook friends over at The Frugal Tasters had this on their wall. &amp;nbsp;As people who have had more than our fair share of European lunches, we can attest that it is very civilized and the reason for the Spanish siesta! &amp;nbsp;Hahaha!&lt;/div&gt;
