Healthier Holidays Start Here: Recipes + Swaps
It's hard to believe the holidays are right around the corner, so I wanted to share a few swaps to help you make your holiday cooking more nourishing!
Brown Sugar → Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar has an almost identical texture. It's also an easy 1:1 swap for refined white sugar.
Powdered sugar → Arrowroot Powder and Coconut sugar: Use equal parts of arrowroot and coconut sugar for all your powdered sugar needs!
Canned Cranberry Sauce → Homemade Cranberry Sauce: Forgo the added sugars and corn syrup and make your own from scratch. Add a little orange zest and cinnamon and sweeten with honey or maple syrup for a nutrient-dense zing! Here's the cranberry sauce recipe that my family enjoys.
Boxed Stuffing → Homemade Stuffing: Avoid fillers like soy, GMO grains, and various other hard-to-pronounce chemicals. Make your own! Use a sprouted sourdough bread and fresh bone broth for extra nutrients. Here's a recipe.
Speaking of bread, here's a recipe to make your own dinner rolls.
