Low Carb Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce

This is the first time I’ve made a sugar free cranberry sauce. I used powdered erythritol (Swerve confectioner’s Sweetener) and then my go to recipe adding in orange and cinnamon. You can make this same recipe with sugar if you choose to, but if I can cut the sugar at this big fat meal, I’m going to.

I have two other cranberry sauce recipes, blackberry cranberry sauce and pear cranberry sauce. You can cut the sugar there too by using erythritol.

The only thing you really need to know about cranberry sauce is that you should make your own because it’s super easy. It’s going to be tart no matter what, which is wonderful for cutting through all that fat in a heavy meal, but it will be a little more tart using a substitute. I actually like that.

You can also play with this recipe by adding in some frozen blueberries if you want a little bit of natural sweetener.

You should also make this your own. I used orange zest only to keep the sugar low, but a little bit of orange liquor never hurt anyone

Also, you can make a marvelous simple syrup with any extra, which is very useful for festive cocktails.

I loved this cranberry sauce left over for my stir fry stuffing!

This summer the herbs on my deck (all in pots) are doing amazing and I just happen to have fresh parsley💚👩🏻‍🍳 and fresh oregano, perfect for chimichurri sauce, a non-cooked preparation of herbs, olive oil and vinegar all chopped up. It originated in Argentina for grilled meats, although there is a similar sauce in Sicily used for seafood. Either way, it’s delicious and makes protein jump. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/how-to-make-chimichurri-sauce-how-to-grill-skirt-steak/ _____________________________________ #chimichurri #grilledsteak #skirtsteak #spinachitger #healthyrecipe #lowcarbdinner #easydinner #tastingtable #steakrecipe #grillout #blogfoodeats #huffposttaste #nashvillefoodblogger #grillideas #grillingseason #grilling #carnivore #carnivoreketo Chimichurri * 1 cup flat Italian parsley, finely chopped (about 2 handfuls) * Fresh oregano (fi you have it). * 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (optional) just replace with parsley * 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil * 1 tablespoon quality red or white wine vinegar** * 3 garlic cloves, finely diced * 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper * Juice of 1 lemon * Course sea salt, freshly ground pepper

Scallops with wine, butter and lemon enhanced with red chili flakes and fresh parsley made one of the best bites of the year. The key to scallops is taking off the chill, heating the pan hot before adding oil and butter. Patience as they caramelize in the pan. Once browned, I squeezed a half of a lemon, added a splash of white wine, and garnished with fresh parsley and chili flakes.

Here is an EASY side dish that takes ten minutes to make. I call it Camille’s Asparagus. 👩🏻‍🍳This brilliant 16 year old works with me in the bakery and shared her recipe. I’ve made it three times already. 😋I’m in shock at how adept this homeschooler is with cooking and baking. Mom’s let your kids into the kitchen. By the time they are 12, they are cooking for YOU. Most kids LOVE being in the kitchen. I remember when the whole neighborhood was here begging to bake with me as little as age 3, boys and girls. Cooking has no gender. That is a myth. The people I meet that hate cooking usually were never allowed in the kitchen because either mom (or dad) only thought it was their territory and couldn’t deal with the mess. Cooking is chemistry, science, art, craft and skill. It also requires research. It’s educational. It teaches perseverance. Last week I couldn’t get a cookie recipe right and Ryder said, “But you know how to do everything.” I said, “no I don’t, I just keep going until I get it right and then it just looks like I know how to do everything.” The twins have watched that. They know it’s okay to fail and have to throw something out. Then we analyze and start over. There is so much more to the STORY OF FOOD and the Passion of cooking. It’s a task in the house that kids can get their hands on that’s not electronic and has a reward waiting. The giant benefit is ENGAGEMENT. While you’re in the kitchen you get to talk, a rarity in the way we all do life. I know many of you already do this or did this during the lock downs. I’d love to hear about it. ___________________________________ #asparagus #tomatoes #pecorino #sidedish #eatmoreveggies #Whole30side #foodblogeats #tastingtable #spinachtiger #foodiesofinstagram #foodphotos #sheetpan #sheetpanveggies #feedfeed #buzzfeedfod #asparagusrecipe #vegetarianfood

Peach season brings peach muffins. Made with Almon

Peach season brings peach muffins. Made with Almond flour and Swerve, these are naturally keto friendly at 3 net carbs. Twelve of these went to a customer yesterday and then her kitchen had caught on fire. Very sad when I hear things like this. She had ordered $180 of cakes all burned along with her kitchen, bathroom and most sad, her little dog. My heart has broken for her and I will indeed replace all those cakes for her once the insurance company settles them into temporary housing. Friends, check your stove before you leave. I’m not exactly sure how it started, but it still is a call to be aware. I remember one time a lady flagged me down while I was driving in the neighborhood. She had walked her dogs a long way and remembered she left something on the stove. I took her and her dogs back to her house. Things in life can change rapidly (don’t we all know it). Life is not always peaches 🍑and cream. Baking for others and meeting new friends that start as customers is one of the benefits of what I do. I hope to never take these friendships for granted. ❤️ ___________________________________ #peachtruck #peachmuffins #spinachtiger #ketomuffins #paleomuffins #bakefeed #foodblogeats #tastingtable #swerve #sugarfreemuffins #buzzfeedfood #ketoeats #foodiesofinstragram #foodphotos #almondflourrecipe #glutenfree #feedfeed.glutenfree
