Cranberry Sauce

 Sweet and Tart! Nothing says Holidays like cranberry sauce. But forget the canned stuff. It's full of corn syrup. In order to keep my Crohn's in remission I avoid all gluten and corn as well as derivatives such as corn syrup.  Instead of canned, I make my own sauce using fresh cranberries. It literally takes five minutes to prepare and is so delicious. 

1 bag fresh cranberries (washed)

1/2 to 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet/tart you want it)

 1 cup water (We used some orange juice as part of the cup. About half and half)

Put all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer as berries start popping. Simmer about five minutes until desired consistency is achieved.

Product Alert: Enjoy Life Chewy Bars

These Enjoy Life Chewey Bars now contain xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is a corn derivative. It is not allowed on my diet as I avoid all gluten, corn and gluten and corn derivatives. Quite unfortunate because they are yummy. Always, always, always check ingredients even on products you buy all the time. Manufacturers change ingredients all the time.

Pacific Foods Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

 I ate this soup for breakfast. Delicious! I added chic peas and Aleia's stuffing cubes. They were super crunchy. All this together made soup into a meal. The container is good for about 4 servings.

I bought the stuffing cubes for Thanksgiving but didn't end up using them. Theses would also be great for croutons. I bought the plain, but these also come with savory seasoning.

Both of these items were found in my normal super mart.
