SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES

These are a nice sugar free option for anyone who loves meringues. I used monk fruit sugar to make the meringue and it works. Xylitol also works well with this recipe. You do get that cool sugar alcohol taste, but it’s not too bad and 

PICKLED RED ONIONS

PICKLED RED ONIONS

You will find a lot of recipes for pickling onions. Some put sugar, or mustard seeds, some add bay leaves and pepper flakes. I kept mine simple – 2 ingredients and then you can add it to so may dishes. Salads, rice bowls, avocado toast. 

NUT & SEED CRACKERS

This side dish is packed with veggies and has a sweet and sour element to it. I like to make a batch of this and keep it in the fridge. It’s so versatile, you can add it as a relish to grilled meats, make flat
