Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce

I saw a couple of different sugar-free cranberry sauce recipes on the internet and decided to come up with my own. This ended up being the best thing on my plate on Thanksgiving.  So delicious!

Ingredients:

1 bag of fresh or frozen cranberries (you can use less if you don't have a full bag)
zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup Swerve

Directions:

Combine all in small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until all the cranberries pop and it starts to thicken.  Stir and cool.  Store in fridge.


Enjoy!

Italian Cream Cake

Today I have a wonderful cake recipe to share from two ladies on the THM facebook group.  Missy G came up with the idea and Susan H. ran with it and came up with this tweaked version.  Both ladies kindly allowed me to post it here on the blog.  This is an S dessert (or breakfast) for you Trim Healthy Mamas.

Italian Cream Cake

1 egg
1 1/2 T. golden flax meal
1 1/2 T. almond meal
1 T. Truvia
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 T. coconut oil
1 heaping T. unsweetened coconut flakes
1 T. chopped pecans

Combine all ingredients in microwave bowl (or oven-proof dish if baking).  Microwave on high for 1 minute or until done to your liking OR bake in 350 oven for 20-25 minutes or until cake tests done.

Frost with cream cheese icing sweetened with Truvia (or xylitol) and vanilla.
(For cream cheese you could use: regular, 1/3 less fat, Greek yogurt cream cheese or even Light Laughing Cow Swiss)

Top with additional unsweetened coconut and chopped pecans.

Enjoy!!
