The Holidays are here and so are all the parties filled with food and cheer!! Thanksgiving Dinner would just not be the same without some sort of cranberry something making an appearance. As a kid, it was jellied cranberries (yes the jiggly stuff with the can rings still in tact as it's served) or a sauce that was always on our table. It never appealed to me and actually turned me off of cranberries!! It wasn't until a couple years ago I started baking with them. They are the perfect berry to use for a low carbohydrate/sugar lifestyle since they are so low in sugar. They are not naturally sweet, quite sour actually! I wanted to provide a bunch of grain free recipe for you to incorporate cranberries into your holidays and learn to love them if you don't already!!!
All of these recipes are grain free, but I did include a few that include cheese for those that can tolerate dairy. For those low carb folk, you know how to swap out sweeteners to make the sweet treats low in sugar. I prefer to use Swerve as my sweetener of choice and would even substitute it for honey or maple syrup in some of these recipes. You may need to add a bit of moisture to the recipe, but otherwise it should work just fine! I believe a recipe or two calls for brown sugar, blend a bit of molasses in with the swerve to create brown sugar!!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
I have recently switched all of my skincare and makeup to a company that is free of 1,500 chemicals!! I am so particular about what goes into my body, I need to be just as picky as to what goes on my body! Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs chemicals into the bloodstream faster than the gut does! I am vain when it comes to my skin and was so thrilled to find products that are anti-aging and work!!! Check out BeautyCounter for more info!! You will love it!! Give the gift of health this holiday season, gift sets available!
If you are an Amazon shopper, would you be so kind to use my affiliate link to make your purchases. It is at no cost to you, it does provide a tiny kickback to Kate’s Healthy Cupboard. This allows me to continue making and testing recipes for free. Thanks so much!!
