Ingredient Spotlight: Oranges and Orange Juice

Before we get to the main point of today’s Ingredient Spotlight, we need to pause for a geeky food blogger moment.  If you’ve got no interest in cameras, lenses and don’t want to hear what happens when a camera gets dropped on a tile floor, keep scrolling for the recipe links.

On Monday, one of my children, who shall remain nameless, accidentally knocked my camera off the counter and onto the tile floor.  I was upstairs when it happened.  Jim came up and told me about the incident, but he thought the camera was fine since it still took pictures.

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.

Honey Cashew Pork Stir-Fry

I printed this recipe from Meals for You a long time ago.  I altered it a little bit.  Stir-fry is always a hit with my kids, even if it has celery in it (not a favorite of any of them).   The ingredient list is simple and I almost always have all the ingredients, with the exception of cashews.  They are worth adding to the recipe though.  Yum!

Mixed Berry Smoothie

My oldest daughter has been on a smoothie kick lately.  If “lately” can be considered the last few years.  She loves smoothies and often makes them for herself.  (Now, if I could just convince her to wash the blender.)  Mixed berry is her most recent favorite.
