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.

Instagram post 2190462260416479960_203001914 I’m so happy with these Vintage Santa Paper Placemats from Hester & Cook. I paired with their red/stripe runner. So fun. Take notice of the white “Nashville” blanket I just picked up at my friend’s store Onyx & Alabaster. (not just a store, sophisticated interior designer). Both stores in historic downtown Franklin…The little town everyone loves to visit. Eat dinner at Gray’s (for delicious farm to table food). I recently ate there and was very surprised at how elevated the food was.

Instagram post 2180643253781899214_203001914 I grew up in Amish country in a fabulous and diverse mecca of classic comfort food.  Central Pennsylvania was heavily settled by the folks who were  and still are referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

The word “dutch”  was a corruption of the word Deutsch or German.  They came either from Germany or the German speaking part of Switzerland and not from Holland. When they arrived in America they came with recipes for sausages, sauerkraut, noodles and dumplings.

Pennsylvania introduced  them to regional foods that they welcomed into their kitchens and put their own spin to. Tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and corn were heartily embraced and mastered by the Amish and the Mennonites.  As food cultures collided, a new generation of comfort food was born.. The Amish and Mennonites are referred to as the plain Pennsylvania Dutch and are most associated with dishes like corn pudding and corn pie.  Baked corn pudding  is generally made with eggs and milk and baked like a custard. My family always added a little cinnamon and vanilla, but still maintained a savory taste using salt and pepper. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/pennsylvania-dutch-baked-corn-pudding/

Instagram post 2176642998795019822_203001914 Today was International Kindness Day, 🌸and I feel I was in the circle of kindness.  I appeared for the first time on Talk of the Town making the Keto Texas Sheet Cake. Everyone was so nice, and Meryll Rose is a gem. We were supposed to be shooting live (but impeachment hearings prevailed). Hopefully, they will be able to air it before Thanksgiving.  You can watch my segment on their cable channel link in profile. 
On the way to the station I delivered two dozen small cakes to a company for their monthly birthday party. 🍰That was also a first and they were kind enough to give me great feedback. Then we drove across town to deliver a keto birthday cake 🎂(husband surprised wife at an Air B & B vacation.) She loved ❤️it and I was happy to hear back that this was part of making their vacation memorable. 
After the show filming, we  went to the new (way bigger) Trader Joe’s on White Bridge Road to shop for my mom’s upcoming Celebration of Life. When I told the store staff member that I was buying the Italian cookies for that event, she gave me free flowers 🌸🌸in honor of my mom. The little things in life are really the worthy things! #linkinprofile https://www.newschannel5.com/talk-of-the-town/spinach-tigers-keto-texas-sheet-cake

Instagram post 2174165198691629262_203001914 We had much of the day to kill yesterday before our evening flight. We walked five miles around town, found a small farmer’s market, ❤️a giant amazing independent bookstore called Book People (where out of nostalgia I purchased a novel set in Naples), and found the perfect breakfast that also made golden lattes and the enchiladas I was craving. Not all avocado toast is created equal and I think Caroline sets the standard! Lots of citrus on that avo.

I didn’t have my heart in it to seek out the best food in Austin, but we managed to eat most delicious, because that’s how Austin rolls. Even the buffet hotel food at the Fairmount was on point. 
I remember the last major death in my life. Hard to move. Almost a strange guilt for still pursuing life with passion. I know I know. It’s called grief, that strange state where one moment you want people around to talk to and one moment you want to be completely alone, wishing you could go back in time for just a day!

Instagram post 2170513050183211081_203001914 My friend Andrea of Nashville Made brought over two cooked chickens from Whole Foods after the passing of my mom. I took off the white meat, froze the dark, and made the darn best ever holiday chicken salad, which we ate for three days. I just happened to have rosemary, apples, pomegranate and celery on hand, and it turned out amazing. This would be so nice on a party table. On the side, serve Hawaiian rolls, crackers and some lettuce leaves. I used my favorite mayonnaise from Best Foods, made with avocado oil (no canola oil). If a friend experiences a death, it is the right and good thing to bring food. It means so much, and if you don’t have time, you can send a delivery. We were very blessed with food from friends. Also, talking not texting is healing. Grieving people need to talk, to share to reminisce as part of the process. Ask if you can call or just show up at the door like my friends did. One friend got the news and threw on old clothes and drove to my door. Feeling grateful, blessed to have the support we have been awarded. Flowers are nice too. Never a waste in my opinion. Even my workout place sent flowers, and it meant so much. Don’t feel awkward….just go and offer help. Weep with those who are weeping. The other side of that is blessing.

Instagram post 2169086836105175356_203001914 This post republished from four years ago today, is a must read. The recipe is great, but the tribute is greater. I had been asked by the Pork Board to write a post giving thanks to someone. I chose Retro Rose. Many of you know she passed away early Wednesday. Many recipes at Spinach Tiger were inspired by her or were her recipes. She was a pork chop lover, and comfort food was her thing. We surprised her and the boys made her a paper crown. (slide). Her friend played the violin and we sang Amazing Grace. This week I’ll continue to post. An excerpt from the post, 
IN ITALY, THEY SAY THE SICILIANS HAVE THE WARMEST HEARTS
“She was often asked to pick up the elderly to drive them to church.  In Italy they say, the Sicilians have the warmest hearts and the hottest tempers. Yes on both counts, although she’s slightly mellowed with age.
She get what she wants at the apartment complex where she lives, because she feeds the maintenance men, who also stop by to vacuum, empty the trash and sometimes help her clean her closets. They know she always has a pot of something on the stove, and it’s not uncommon for her to send dinner home with them for their families. She was the “young” one at her church (at 80) , where the elders called her to help with the seniors. At age 79 she had a job  watching a woman with alzheimer’s and she was still often called upon to “senior sit” those who struggled with dementia.” If you worry about growing old, maybe change your mind about what that means. Mindset is everything.  Go read the post. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/mustard-breaded-oven-fried-pork-chops/

Stove Top Candied Sweet Potatoes, has been known to grace many church potlucks, made with brown sugar, maple syrup, apple juice and oranges. I made her make them in front of me years ago, so I could actually get a recipe. She wasn’t a recipe cook.

Instagram post 2163337731219225303_203001914 Have you ever roasted a sugar pumpkin to eat as a side dish or appetizer. We had a similar dish served to us last week in Lexington, Kentucky at a restaurant called Middle Fork. I highly recommend a visit there if you’re in that area. This is so easy to do and there’s a blog post coming Sunday. 1/4 of this is only 6 net carbs and nutrient dense. Eat more pumpkin!!!! #https://spinachtiger.com/roast-pumpkin-recipe/
