No Sugar Cranberry Sauce

I swear to God, sometimes I think I am the only one in the world that likes cranberry sauce! Nevertheless, I still make it every year around this time. Not only is it good, but my version has no sugar, so all of the health benefits from the cranberries are not erased by a load of sugar. 

1 bag cranberries
2 mandarin oranges
1 cup water
2 1/2 tbsp stevia powder (You could use honey too)
dash of cinnamon or to taste

Cook all together on medium heat. Keep stirring until it thickens. Refrigerate a few hours. 

Smoothie for Colds

So, I swore I wouldn't get the cold that my whole family has gotten and I have made a really good run of it, but low and behold....I did catch it. I do believe it is not as bad as the rest of the fam's cold though. They all got real nasaly stuffy and I really don't feel super sick. It's more of an annoyance. The tickle in my throat is keeping me from sleeping at night and I just wanna be done with it. So, I have concocted a cold smoothie. This one has a ton of vitamin c! It's a little spice, a little soothing and alot tasty:

1 pineapple core (you can buy a bunch of them in the store in a pack for under $2.00.)
1/2 cup of mixed frozen tropical fruit
1 clementine
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 shake cinnamon
1 shake cayanne
1 packet of stevia
1/2 banana 

You can always substitute pineapple flesh instead of the core, but the core has a higher concentration of bromeline in it. You can also subsititute water for coconut milk But I would not substitute cow milk for it. Dairy can make you extra phlegmy.
