I have been dabbling in almond meal lately.  Almond meal is different than almond flour.  It is ground up almonds with the skin on.  Almond flour has the skins removed before grinding.  At least that is how I understand it.  I haven’t purchased almond flour because it is so expensive.  But Trader Joe’s sells almond meal at a fairly reasonable price.  So I made a recipe for the first...

Oh how I love cranberry sauce; especially around the holidays!  But since I kicked refined sugars out the door I had to come up with a sugar free or unrefined sugar way to cook it.     The first time I cooked it completely sugar free was with xylitol, a natural occurring sugar alcohol which has a low glycemic index because it is slowly digested.  Xylitol does not promote tooth decay and is...
