Cranberry Apple Sauce Recipe

I feel as though cranberries get a bad rap. Most people just open a can of cranberry sauce for the holidays and do not think twice about it. I absolutely love cranberries though, they are one of my favorite side dishes for the holidays. One of my favorite ways to make them though is in a cranberry apple sauce. It goes great with both turkey and ham, and our family loves it with pork chops and on chicken too. Because I make such a large batch, I like to can it so I can enjoy it all year round, and give it as gifts around the holidays.

I have mentioned in other blog posts, as well as YouTube videos, that I have kind of a big sweet tooth. If you give me a choice between chips or chocolate, I am going to choose chocolate 95% of the time. While I do try to eat as healthy as I can, I do like to indulge… everything in moderation, right?  It is finally autumn, so it is time to make one of my all-time favorite treats, Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce!

Healthy Chocolate Donut Recipe

I am the first to admit that I have a very large sweet tooth… I mean sweets are probably my favorite food group after all. Chocolate is probably my weakness, dark chocolate to be exact. I eat pretty healthy and try to offer healthier alternatives than just plain old chocolate donuts and muffins for breakfast. That is is why this Healthy Chocolate Donut Recipe is probably my go-to recipe for when I want something chocolaty and yummy for breakfast. It is made with oat flour and has no processed sugar, so I feel pretty good about having it as a nice little treat every so often.

Honey, Lemon, Ginger Syrup Recipe

Honey, Lemon, Ginger Syrup Recipe

I am so excited that it is officially fall! While I love summer, I feel like I can get more done when it is not 90+ degrees out! But, while I love fall, the beginning of the season always wreaks havoc on of my immune system. This week alone it has gone from 80 degrees to 40, and now back into the 80’s again. It is only a matter of time before I get hit with a nice cold to slow me down. In order to help aid in a quick recovery, I always love to add honey, lemon, and ginger to my tea. I love it even when I am not sick too, though. I figured this year I was going to be prepared, so I am canning a nice big batch of Honey, Lemon, Ginger Syrup for cold and flu season!Honey lemon ginger syrup recipe with free printable label
