Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is one of the staples of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and that’s the reason it’s one of the most popular foods you can make with cranberries.

For Thanksgiving, my mom made the cranberry sauce and I don’t know if she did something differently or if I just never gave cranberry sauce the hype it deserved but I couldn’t believe how good it was! Her version is with lots of toasted pecans & orange slices (amazing) but I decided to do a lil experimenting and make a chia jam version. I sweetened it with honey instead of white sugar & it turned out sooo good! Brb putting this on EVERYTHING. Try it and let me know what ya think! 👏🏼Cranberry chia jam 👏🏼 Whatcha need:👇🏼 •1 bag of fresh cranberries (12oz) •1/2 C water •1 tsp vanilla •1/2 tsp almond extract •1/4 C honey •Juice of 1 clementine •3 Tbsp chia seeds What to do:👇🏼 Rinse and drain cranberries. Pour cranberries and water into a medium saucepan and set it on medium heat. Using a fork, break up/burst cranberries (this will be easier once they’ve been on the heat for a while). Bring saucepan to a low boil. Stir in honey, almond + vanilla extracts, & clementine juice. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, stir in chia seeds and let sit until mixture has thickened up. Transfer to a jar or container and keep in fridge! Enjoy on toast/oatmeal/by the spoon! 😊 #bellshappyfood

Cranberry Juice

Cranberry juice is just as equally beloved as cranberry sauce. In addition to being consumed on its own, it can be used to make many delicious beverages and sweet treats.

Cranberry pie is one of the most delicious desserts you can make with cranberries. It can be made in many different ways, but cranberry tarts usually look the most delicious.

]]> The fall season is finally here, and as you begin to notice the temperatures dropping and the leaves changing colors, you’ll also see that different seasonal fruits and vegetables are becoming available at your local grocery store or supermarket.

When making your shopping list from September through December, make sure to add these tasty in-season fruits to your list and enjoy all of their fantastic possibilities.

Apples

Apples might be thought of as a year-round fruit, but these beauties actually come into season during the autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. While great as a simple snack, you can also try more adventurous recipes—like baked apples with brown sugar or apple cider—by using these little guys.

Cranberries

Cranberry sauce is a staple on Thanksgiving plates every November, so it comes as no surprise that this fruit is at its best during the fall. Tarts, pies, and cakes are some of the places where this “superfood” stands out, but the possibilities are really endless.

Pears

Pears are like apples—ubiquitous year-round—but at their peak during the fall. The summer heat turns these fruits sweet and juicy by the time they are ready for harvest in the fall, after which they can be used in salads, as a snack, or for any of a number of culinary uses.

Cranberries

These tiny berries are not as sweet as most other fruits, but they can do amazing things for your health. Cranberries are very powerful in the fight against bacteria.

Did you know that Cranberries contain one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants of any fruit? It's also one of the few fruits native to North America. ❤ . . Cranberries are rich in many different nutrients including: vitamins C, E, & K, manganese, B6, B5 and potassium. Some of the powerful antioxidants found within cranberries include anthocyanins, bezioic acid, epicatechins and quercetin.☀ . . Quercetin is a type of flavonoid that is considered as possibly one of the most powerful phytonutrients found in fruit as it has been found to reliably boost multiple antioxidant defenses within the body and reduce inflammation.🧠 . One study published in the Journal of Behavioral Brain Research found that quercetin protected the brain from toxicity caused by sugar by boosting the activity of the antioxidant superoxide dismutase — one of the most powerful natural antioxidants within our body.📚 . Another study published in Karger, a journal dedicated to research in medical science, found that quercetin reversed cognitive deficits caused by LPS (lipopolysaccharides), a toxin produced by the bacteria in our gut.📚 . . @brain.food.daily _______________ #cranberry #cranberries #cranberryjuice #cranberryfacts

Bitter Melon

Bitter melon is one of the best bitter foods you can have. This melon is very popular among the Asian, Caribbean and African countries. Its most recognizable feature is the bitter taste, but once you hear the many health benefits, the taste won’t matter. It can prevent cancer, regulate the sugar levels in your blood, fight inflammation and more.

Arugula

This leafy vegetable might not have the sweetest taste, but it sure is amazing for your health. It belongs to the same group with broccoli, cauliflower, and other cruciferous vegetables. Arugula will significantly help in detoxing your body, so make it a regular part of your salads.

Dill

Dill is another one of the bitter foods you should be having on a regular basis. As a natural antibiotic, it can fight against cell damage and free radicals. In addition to that, dill will aid the detox process in your body.

]]> Natural diuretics, including fruits and vegetables, are the best way to help your body get rid of its retained water. Summer is the perfect season to include them in your everyday meals. Check out the foods below and write them down on your shopping list.

Cucumbers

Cucumbers are rich in water in potassium, making them a great diuretic. They help the body flush out the toxins through increased urination.

Cranberries

Cranberries are one of those natural diuretics that are also super-delicious. They help with the removal of retained water while also keeping the potassium in the body.

Celery

Celery might not be your favorite vegetable, but it sure is healthy. It is the perfect tool to help you fight water retention.

Parsley

Parsley is one of the oldest natural diuretics, with a proven effect. The best way to have it is in tea, but it can also upgrade your summer salads. Parsley limits the reabsorption of potassium and increasing the level of urine.

Watermelon

Watermelon is made up of more than 92% water. It has strong diuretic powers by expanding the blood vessels and preventing water to leak to the outside. This fruit is literally the perfect summer treat that will also help you detox.
