Happy Monday, everyone! 
First of all, I just have to say “HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY” to me!! It has officially been one year since I started this blog. It’s truly unbelievable how quickly a year flies by. If you want a nice laugh, go check out my first post. Or for an even bigger laugh, the post when I tried to make blondies … twice! Quite a bit has changed on this blog in a year, hasn’t it??
Thank you all SO much for continuing to read and share this newlywed journey with me! At some point, I’m probably going to have slightly tweak the name of this blog! I guess I can’t be a newlywed forever, can I?? 
———-
Moving on …
I’m not someone who drinks a lot. But I do enjoy an occasional glass of wine or a beer. Especially in the summer! There’s nothing better on a hot day than a refreshing, cold drink!
So when I was contacted about reviewing a new product by Michelob, I was immediately interested.
Michelob ULTRA Light Cider is naturally sweetened and made from hand-picked apples.
It’s also gluten-free, which may not matter to me, but I know it’s important to several of my gluten-free friends! They’re always trying to find a good, gluten-free alternative to a regular beer. Michelob ULTRA’s Light Cider would be a perfect option!
And for those who care about calories, this light cider only has 120 calories per bottle!
So far, I’ve enjoyed my Michelob ULTRA Light Cider two different ways.
First with sushi …
… then with a grilled chicken burger!
Both times, I found the drink to be light, sweet, and very refreshing. A great summer-time beverage!
If you want to find out more about this product, you can visit these websites: the Sponsor’s site or Michelob ULTRA Light Cider page on BlogHer.com.
Question for ya …
Which favorite summer meal or activity do you think would go best with Michelob ULTRA Light Cider?
I’m not much of a drinker myself either, but I can’t lie– this stuff actually looks like something I’d like to try! And I love that it’s gluten-free too

Happy blogiversary!!!

I don’t drink very often but when I do I like something fruity so this sounds pretty good. I’m not sure how my boyfriend feels about ciders but since he found out he has Celiac Disease he hasn’t found too many drinks that he enjoys so I’ll have to let him know about this one!

I’m so glad too, Amy! You are the best!
Congrats and Happy Blogiversary!! How exciting! I was wondering about your blog name….although Paul and I joke that we will be newlyweds forever! I’m not much of a beer drinker either, but that stuff looooks so refreshing! Especially with that frozen mug. I think your meal choices are perfect for it. I would def say a burger.

Maybe I should do a contest to see who can come up with a new name for me!
I want to keep the ‘notsodomesticated’ part, but just change the ‘newlywed’ part. Hmmm …
ohhh that is a great idea!!

Happy one year!!!! Boy, you’re getting old.
And I think that cider would be perfect for a cookout or to enjoy while hanging out by the pool!

Haha thanks, Stefanie!! I know … one whole year. I’m such a blogging vet!
Oh my gosh, I *love* cider so much! It reminds me of drinking in the pubs in Scotland…which I miss on a daily basis! I’ve been super curious to try this too. Happy one year also! That’s exciting!

Woot Happy Blogiversary! What an exciting time and a very special occasion! I am not much of a drinker, (I faked it with water this past weekend ha) but this stuff does sound good! Thanks for pointing it out!

Happy Blogiversary! Mine is this week too! I actually tried the light cider a couple weekends ago and really liked it! It was definitely light and refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect for summer!

That sounds like the perfect summer beer!

Some yard games, perhaps? I saw this on another blog this week too, and I want to try.
Happy Blog anniversary!

Happy Blogday! It’s crazy how fast time can fly when you’re blogging.
I’m not a big drinker either, but I do love the social aspect of delicious wine with a fabulous meal, or a cool drink on a hot day. I had been curious about the light cider, so thanks for testing it for me.
To be honest, I tend to cook with beer or something, but this cider might make for a nice sangria? [Unexpected maybe, but worth a try?]
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen recently posted..Sauer-prise!
Ooh I could actually see it with sangria! Throw some apple chunks in there, along with other fruits … yum!
LOVE that it’s gluten free!! yay! definitely have to try this!

Congrats on your blogiversary!
That drink looks so good! I would have to say ideally my favorite summer activity with that would be to be sitting in front of a bonfire at night. Anything light or grilled would be perfect with it.
