Christmas is just around the corner and who doesn’t like candy? Where we live there is a local candy factory that has wonderful chocolates but they are loaded with sugar! These Salted Caramel Chocolates are just perfect and best of all they are sugar-free.
Angel Food Cakes are a delicious fluffy light dessert to add to any meal. These cakes are primarily made with egg whites, flour, and sugar. Did you know that you can make a sugar-free, gluten-free version that bakes and taste just like a regular one? And by adding extracts you can have any flavor you prefer.
Have you ever wanted breakfast eggs with a different twist? Try Shaksuka eggs. They are an absolutely delicious Israeli style egg dish with cumin and smoked paprika. I love it for something different.
Preserving Food and large gardens/orchards have been a way of life for my family for generations. Rows of jars lined canning shelves and freezers were full of food by summer’s end.
Tomato products have always be a favorite of many people, including myself to can. Pizza Sauce is a must at our house. This sauce is made without sugar and chock full of veggies. I love to make pizza using sourdough crust! In fact we rarely buy pizza since we prefer this homemade version.
Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching. What mother doesn’t love flowers and candy? So why not combine the two! These delicious Strawberry Cream Chocolate Roses have a wonderful strawberry flavor and a lovely eye appeal. It’s flowers and candy all in one!
Do you want a simple refreshing light desert? This Creamy Strawberry Jell-O Dessert is so tasty you won’t even know it is light in calories!
Hot Cocoa Bombs are the rage right now! If you have never heard of Cocoa Bombs, they are cute little chocolate balls that you place into a mug. When you pour hot milk over the chocolate balls, they melt, spilling out marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cocoa mix. Children just love these and so do adults for that matter!
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.
Have you ever wished for healthy canned soups to have for a quick meal? Did you know that they are very easy to make and preserve? Over the summertime when there are a lot of veggies ready I can soups. It does take a bit of an effort but I love it when I need a quick meal. Try this Cheeseburger Soup and you won’t be disappointed!
Zucchini is one of the most prolific vegetables you can grow in your garden. Once they are picked they can be use in almost any vegetable side dish and even transformed into cakes, cookies and bars. I try and pick zucchini small…no larger than 10-12 inches but occasionally some get over looked.
