Cranberries make a great winter sauce for meats and cheeses. Heated and served over warm Brie, oh yum! Mix with other fruits and reduce the sugar content by 75%. Fuji’s, McIntosh, and Gala are the apples to choose for obtaining the most sweetness. If you are lucky enough to have access to ripe sweet Fuyu persimmons, all the better, I use apples and persimmons interchangeably with this sauce. Oranges or mandarins also help out with sweetness plus add great flavor to the sour cranberries. Make up a batch for Thanksgiving and freeze/can the rest for Christmas or to use throughout winter. If you have a big enough pot, double or triple the recipe and can for Christmas gifts. Canning instructions provided at the end. Continue reading

Right around Halloween, I stock up on small sized pumpkins and sugar pumpkins, the ones perfect for making soup and pie. I gradually bake up all of them and freeze for future use over the holidays and throughout the winter. Mashing and freezing them in 2 cup increments offers flexibility to make most pie, pudding, or soup recipes. You may use steamed or canned pumpkin, but it doesn’t have any where near the flavor of oven roasted pumpkin. Butternut squash is available all winter and a great stand in for pumpkin. Rule is for every cup pureed squash, add 1 cup broth. Continue reading

Salmon Cabbage Rolls

The low carb, gluten free answer to alleviate your egg roll or potsticker cravings! Young and old will gobble them up and don’t forget the dipping sauce for added fun. Common to many ethnic cuisines of Europe and Asia, meat fillings are rolled with cabbage leaves instead of wheat or rice wrappers.Treat yourself to three filling variations: salmon, ground beef, or chicken – the salmon is highlighted, but the beef and chicken variations are included.

My recipe makes a savory on the go lunch item that can be eaten cold and they are delicious reheated. For the budget conscious, this is an instance where you can use the cheaper salmon varieties such as Keto without sacrificing flavor, however, be careful of bones and pick them out carefully. I like to buy salmon in bulk while it is cheap and freeze for later.

Tip – Grill or roast two large fillets at once – one to eat immediately for dinner with grilled or steamed vegetables and the other to use for rolls or patties the next day. Somehow eating a leftover grilled salmon just isn’t appetizing to most, but re-purposed into a patty or a roll, heck yeah!

Grocery shopping in the after work rush, again, sigh! I am in a dilemma and deliberating on what to buy, and all I really want to do is get the heck out of the store. Mental notes – need to stay within the budget, yet get dinner on fast – I am hungry! Continue reading
