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!

Happy Fall Salad 👩🏻‍🍳.More people ask me for my salad recipes than my dessert recipes once they eat them. Why? Balance! That magic combination of fat salt and acid along with varying textures and sometimes tiny bit of sweet. The sweet is NOT sugar. It’s usually a bite of fruit but can come from a syrupy balsamic, honey or a sugar free maple syrup. I probably have 25 different vinaigrettes in my arsenal and it always depends on the season and the ingredients. Take this kale salad for instance. The kale is not that curly hard to eat stuff. It’s lacanato kale, rib removed and chopped to bite size. It’s not massaged as that’s not necessary if you dress it a few hours in advance. Pears and apples add sweet and texture. Cranberries or golden raisins add a different form of sweet and texture but might be left out if you’re avoiding sugar. Nuts are always welcome and I used pumpkin seeds in this recipe. As a surprise I used a warmed up maple dressing here. Buy Choc Zero Maple Syrup at 10% off using code SpinachTiger.

it’s that time of year when a butternut squash takes front and center, starring in so many wonderful dishes. ❤️We start with a soup. First of all did you now you can just stick a butternut squash in oven until the skin is ready to fall off. 👩🏻‍🍳Add a roasted apple, onion and carrot to the mix, throw in Vitamix with some water (or broth) with spices, maple syrup and heat. Fry some sage, toast pecans for amazing garnish. 😋recipe #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/autumn-soup-roasted-butternut-squash-soup-with-browned-butter-sage-leaves-toasted-pecans/

Scallops can be a mystery to those who haven’t figured out how to get this sear. Cauliflower rice can be a huge bore if one doesn’t know how to take a very bland vegetable and make it sing. 👩🏻‍🍳I combined the cauliflower rice with grass fed butter, cream cheese, lemon zest, salt, pepper and baked in a cast iron pan until it crisped up and served as the perfect bed for these amazing buttery lemony scallops. A low-carb dish no one will roll their eyes on.

SEAR SCALLOPS
* Rinse in cold water to get rid of sand
* Remove side muscle
* Clean the scallops
* Dry the scallops
* Bring to room temperature
* Get HOT pan hot. Add oil AFTER pan is hot.
* Do not crowd (scallops will steam. Cook in two batches if needed.
* Be Patient.
* Fry for two minutes minutes one side, one minute on second side. Scallops will remove easily once caramelized.

NEW BLOG POST: KETO SHRIMP CREOLE. This is a delicious take on Shrimp Creole, but is actually a hybrid between shrimp creole and jambalaya, as the cauliflower rice is cooked in the sauce, along with creole spices, the holy trinity, tomatoes and bacon. My favorite shrimp for this dish which I’ve made TWICE in the last two weeks are the peeled, uncooked, frozen red shrimp from Trader Joe’s, making this easy dish, easier. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-shrimp-creole-cauliflower-rice/

That time of year when summer is shifting towards the end, Fall is around the corner, and you’re out of food ideas. Oven Baked Pork Chops with Peaches makes total sense.

Have you ever heard of Torta Bianca Caprese? It’s a flourless (almond flour) cake make with butter, white chocolate and lots of lemon. 🍋It has a very unique texture. Eggs are separated and while the yolks are beaten for five minutes until they dare doubled. The whites are whipped and folded in at the end. It’s such a delicious dense lemony texture. I can’t wait to write this one up. It’s the sister cake to Torta Caprese (which is chocolate almond flour cake).
I used choc zero sugar free white chocolate chips, an important part of the recipe. Use code SPINACHTIGER to save 10% when ordering from choczero.com
