Have you ever used a scale in the kitchen? I bought two different scales a few years ago and was surprised how much accuracy they added to my cooking and baking. Never having been much of a measuring cook, it was a little eye-opening how off I had been without balance scale. I also use a digital scale when I make soap — this is a must because accuracy is imperative to ensure that the soap works.
At our home, we like to eat well. At the same time, we like to eat GOOD. That means no refined sugar or flours cross our doorsteps or lips. How can we live like this, you ask? Simple — we get creative and have fun at it! There will be no oxyelite pro side effects at our house!
Believe me — there is life after sugar! I promise!
How about some no-bake peanut butter cookies to make you feel like life is worth living?
Yeah? Check it out!
Mix together:
- 3/4 c. natural chunky or creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 c. melted coconut oil

How about a sugar-free cranberry relish recipe? That tastes as good as sugar-laden cranberries? Sound too good to be true? It’s not!
Place 1 bag of fresh cranberries into a saucepan.
Add 1 can of cranberry juice concentrate and 1/2 cup of raw honey.
Stir well.
Heat the cranberries and other ingredients over medium-high heat until the sauce simmers. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the goodness for about 20 minutes.
Take the cranberries off the heat and let them cool. Place them into the refrigerator to chill them before serving.
