Fruity Cranberry Chutney

admin November 11, 2012 5 Comments
I love cranberries.  I could eat them year around.  Growing up, the grade school I attended always had a turkey supper fundraiser.  Each table would be set with about 2 ounces of cranberry sauce for a table of six or eight.  Even as a child, I thought that was ridiculous.  I could eat more than 2 ounces myself!    Cranberries are good for your urinary tract system, can help prevent plaque...

For any of you parents...

Dairy Free and Soy Free Tartar Sauce

Today I’m bringing you a dairy and soy free version of tartar sauce.   It tastes, in my opinion, better with Earth Balance Mindful Mayo Original than it ever did with mayo.  This tartar sauce will go well with tuna patties or fish fillets, even the kind that come from a box if you can eat those.  I adapted it from Betty Crocker’s Cookbook.  This batch usually is enough for one meal of...
