It’s that time of year again when cranberries are harvested and are readily available to purchase at our local groceries stores. These tart red berries are a native of North America and are considered a superfood! Cranberries are high in antioxidants and a good source of vitamins.

Homemade Pickle Relish is very easy to make and best of all you can control what you put in to it. When my garden stares to produce lots of crunchy cucumbers, I get ready to preserve relish. This relish is so tasty on hot dogs, burgers, added to chicken and turkey salad, and much more.

Protein bars are a handy snack to keep in your fridge for those times when you are busy but still need to eat. Lemon/apricot has always been a favorite of mine and i just had to combine them together into one bar. These citrus tasting bars are so good with just a few white sugar-free chocolate chips added to them. If you only add 5-8 chocolate chips to each bar it will still be a THM FP.

Cookies and Cream Protein Bars — a tasty vanilla base with chocolate crumbles, a oreo cookie layer, and the flavor is just wonderful! I drizzled a little sugar-free chocolate chips over them to dress them up.

From a little child and up, I always loved Ramen Noodles. This Homemade Ramen Noodle Bowl has become a favorite of mine. It is chock full of lean protein, veggies, and low-carb noodles. What is not to like about that!!
