Jayne sent me a sugar free cranberry sauce recipe, and a recipe for Cranberry Crunch. I fixed the Cranberry Crunch this morning for breakfast, and it was a huge success. My husband, after his second helping said, "I could eat this every morning. When my daughter & I got home from school, I asked my son if he found his breakfast. He looked sheepish and said, "If you had looked at how much I ate, you wouldn't ask." My daughter shrieked, "Don't tell me you ate it all; I only got one serving." This is a winner!

First you prepare the cranberry sauce

1pkg (3 cups) cranberries

1/2 cup honey

1 cup pineapple juice

1-2 tsp. lemon zest,

This is delicious by itself. I'm throwing out my old reduced sugar cranberry sauce recipe and e-mailing my Mom that I'll be bringing cranberries for Christmas dinner.

After you make 1 recipe of Cranberry sauce, here's how you make Cranberry Crunch.

Prepare a crumble mix:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. baking soda.

1 cup oatmeal

1 cup rice flour,

Mix together, toss with 1/2 cup light olive oil.

Put 2/3 of crumble mix in bottom of a 9x9 pan. Take about 2/3 of one recipe of Cranberry Sauce and mix in ¼ cup chopped pineapple. Spread this on the crumble mix. Top with rest of the crumble. Bake 350 F. for 1/2 hour or until nicely browned.

Jayne will notice that I changed two ingredients. Because I was making this as a breakfast, I wanted to use as many beneficials as possible. If you use it as a dessert, you can do it the original way with spelt flour instead of rice flour and butter instead of light olive oil.

I hadn't had a swim in three weeks. The week of Thanksgiving was short and hectic. The first two weeks after Thanksgiving I was fighting the respiratory virus. The water was cold, but that just keeps me swimming faster.
