So far we've had a pretty varied week: Monday was President's Day, Tuesday was National Pancake Day, yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and the day you've all been waiting for is finally here: today, Thursday February 22, is National Margarita Day!!!! I know both my mom and geeksugar (big time margarita drinkers) will be ecstatically celebrating this afternoon once happy hour arrives. Since it's almost the weekend, I say we follow their lead and stir/blend ourselves up some good old margs! You can make the classic Ultimate Margarita or a variation such as a Blood Orange Margarita, raspberry margarita, and never to be overlooked, for non-drinkers or pregnant gals, Mild-Eyed Margaritas.

5MARGARITAS! my absolute FAVORITE. i had one for fat tuesday and boy, did it knock me over. strawberry ones are amazing. margaritas can be high in calories, so try one of the recipes from hungry-girl.com. one calls for 6 oz. of diet lemon-lime soda (like sierra mist), some of that crystal light lemonade powder and a shot and a half of tequila...with ice, of course. comes to be around 105 calories (about 5-10 without tequila), and i've read margaritas tend to be around 300-500 calories.
