It’s cranberry season! I love these little gems. Not only do they taste wonderful, they also look so pretty in holiday desserts.
Here are a few of my favorite recipes with cranberries: [Read more...]
Low Carb Cranberry Sauce
This is a guest post from Dawn Farias. She is going to be sharing her favorite low carb dishes with us in a new monthly series.
Cranberry sauce is a staple around the holidays and is a snap to convert to a more low-carb version. You simply find a recipe you like and substitute your artificial sweetener of choice. The trick is not adding too much because doing so can make your final product fairly bitter. But in the final analysis, I suppose it’s all a matter of ‘taste’. (Yes, I went there!)
At any rate, here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]
White Chocolate Brownies and Tate’s Bake Shop Giveaway
My name for these bars would be White Chocolate Cranberry Bars, but the Tate’s Bake Shop cookbook by Kathleen King calls them White Chocolate Brownies.
By either name, they are delicious. The bars are dense and sweet, but not too sweet. You can definitely taste the white chocolate in these and the cranberries are a perfect complement.
Here’s what you’ll need to make them: [Read more...]
Cranberry Pecan Sticky Rolls and My Trip to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Test Kitchen
When I was contacted about the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Holiday Bake-Off trip, I quickly agreed to participate. Then I realized I would need to come prepared to bake something. (Pictures from the trip are at the end of this post.)
Cranberries are a natural holiday food, so I created two recipes featuring these beautiful gems. Cranberry Muffins with Orange Marmalade Glaze is the recipe I chose to enter, only because I was afraid the roll dough in this recipe would not have time to rise in the 2-hour time limit.
But the rolls are a cinch to make and have all the sticky-sweet goodness you expect from a sticky roll. As a bonus, they’re studded with tart, red cranberries making them perfect for the Holidays. [Read more...]
Apples and Cranberries Baked in a Pumpkin
I’m in love with this pumpkin recipe. I dream about it. I’ve even eaten it for breakfast. Twice.
It tastes seriously wonderful. Sweet, spiced apples and cranberries add so much flavor to the baked pumpkin. On top of that, it looks impressive. I’m not known for making beautiful food, so this is something to be proud of.
I am known for creating simple recipes and this does fall into that category. It can be ready for the oven in less than 20 minutes and that includes about 13 minutes of trying to cut the top off the pumpkin. [Read more...]
Cranberry Muffins with Orange Marmalade Glaze – I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Holiday Bake-Off and Giveaway!
I know it’s Monday and that usually means a new menu with grocery list. But today I’ve got something different for you and it includes a really cool giveaway!
Recently, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! contacted me, asking if I wanted to participate in their Holiday Bake-Off. Did I mention that it takes place in New York City this Friday?
I will join 9 other bloggers to take part in a friendly competition at the Unilever Test Kitchens. The fun starts today with a giveaway of baking equipment! But first, my recipe for Cranberry Muffins with Orange Marmalade Glaze. [Read more...]
Dark Chocolate Cranbery Walnut Clusters
This is a guest post from Christine at Random Hangers. If you’re interested in guest posting on Eat at Home, contact me.
Dark chocolate, dried cranberries and walnuts all contain antioxidants, which have been known to reduce blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a tasty treat out there that contained all three? Read on! [Read more...]
Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Most of my desserts don’t rank high on nutrition. I don’t expect that out of a dessert. But this one is different. Made with whole wheat flour, oatmeal and dried cranberries, these cookies offer more than just good taste. The recipe is adapted from Whole Foods for the Whole Family. The original called for wheat germ, but I didn’t have any so I altered the amount of flour. I also added cranberries to give them more taste and interest.
Cranberry French Toast with Cranberry Syrup
Still looking for a Christmas breakfast idea? You might want to make this french toast. The prep is all done the day before, so that in the morning all you need to do is slice the bread and fry it.
It’s really a cranberry bread pudding that is then sliced and dipped in eggs and half&half and then fried. The recipe is adapted from the Country Living Country Morning cookbook. [Read more...]
Cranberry Nut Bars
Please make these and share them with a group of people. If you don’t, you’ll eat the whole pan yourself. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
These cake-like dessert bars combine the tart cranberry flavor with sweet cake and the crunch of pecans. Oh my! I can’t stay out of them. [Read more...]
