From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets

 'Tis the season...and many of us tend to raise a glass a bit more than usual, especially on New Year's Eve.  Of course, there are many who do best with no alcohol at all, and keeping a limit on it is a good idea for all of us.  But for those who do drink alcohol, here are some guidelines for keeping it low-carb.  Also, most of my cocktail recipes are totally tasty without the liquor.  Happy New Year's!! - Laura

How to Make Low-Carb Cocktails and Mixed Drinks

Did you know that liqueurs, such as amaretto and triple sec, can have as much as 24 grams of sugar in a jigger (3 Tablespoons)?  That's 6 teaspoons of sugar!  No wonder a cocktail like a margarita can easily deliver a quarter of a cup of sugar.  Here's how to make low-sugar or sugar-free mixed drinks and cocktails.

Homemade Cheese Spread
Do you have pieces of leftover cheese in your fridge? You can throw them into a food processor with a few other ingredients and make it into a nice spread! Or make them into that Southern favorite, Pimento Cheese. You can use either in lots of ways -- as a spread for vegetables, a burger topping, or the base for an instant cheese sauce.
