Homemade Whipped Cream ~ Sugar Free

This is a super simple recipe, but it took me a while of eating healthy to think about the fact that it is so easy to make a delicious whipped cream! I usually eat this on my French toast, but have recently been eating it on my new favourite breakfast "Pumpkin Pancakes' (recipe coming soon :).

1/2 cup cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. truvia

-Whip together with hand mixer until its whipped cream :)
- ENJOY!

Easy Marinara Sauce ~ Sugar Free

Here is the perfect sauce for you! I have made it with both fresh and dried herbs. It is WAY better if you can get your hands on some fresh herbs!

I was told to go on a sugar free, grain free (feels like everything free :P) diet 5 weeks ago, so I have had to be really creative with my cooking, otherwise I end up sitting on the floor in the kitchen crying cause I'm so hungry...JK...I haven't actually cried yet, but I have sat on the kitchen floor and felt like crying on several occasions...its hard to be creative when you are hungry! :D

I have used this on pizza, in soup, in zucchini lasagna (recipe coming soon!), and when I'm really hungry I just eat it straight! (JK!) I think I could eat it straight though...its just that good ;)

I'm gonna stop writing now, cause I have barely  eaten anything today and my computer is dying...ya, life is hard...(insert sarcasm emoji)

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup onions, cut into small chunks
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp tomato paste
3 cups fresh tomatoes, cut into small chunks (you can also use canned tomatoes)
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, diced (fresh tastes best, but of you don't have any you can use about 2 Tbsp. dried parsley)
2 Tbsp. fresh Basil, diced (you can also use 1 tbsp. dried)
1 Tbsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Truvia (or 1 Tbsp. sugar)
1 1/2 tsp. salt

- In a small saucepan, saute onions, garlic and oil for 3 minutes.
- Add rest of ingredients.
- Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- It stays good in the fridge, or you can freeze it.
- ENJOY!

Coconut Waffle Sauce ~ Sugar Free ~ Gluten Free

Afew mornings ago I was craving our families Waffles recipe.
But since I've been working at eating healthier lately, I made these gluten free waffles and topped them with my version of waffles sauce, and some strawberries.
the sauce is not extremely sweet, so if you aren't planning on adding strawberries you might want to add a little more sweetener.
Coconut sugar has been my go to sweetener lately, but i have been wanting to start trying some other kinds, what's your favourite?

3 cups milk

3/4 cup coconut sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup cornstarch mixed with water

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp. margarine

- Bring milk, salt and sugar to a boil in a sauce pan on high heat, stirring every once in a while.
- While milk is heating, mix cornstarch with a little water (until it is smooth)once milk is boiling, remove from heat, add cornstarch mixture while stirring with a whisk, place back on heat for a few seconds until sauce is thick.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and margarine, mix well.
- Pour over Gluten Free Waffles and top with strawberries.
- ENJOY!

*Disclaimer* I don't have a gluten allergy, so if you do, eat at your own risk.

Oven Fries & Dipping Sauce

i made these fries a few years ago when we had our church over for an event, they worked really well for feeding a crowd! 

on monday I accidently peeled to many potatoes for the meal i was making, so I threw them in the fridge and covered them in cold water overnight, yesterday i ended up being gone till about an hour before supper so when i got home i just threw them in the oven with some chicken fingers for a quick and easy supper that didn't feel quite as unhealthy as store bought fries :) i found this dipping sauce on pintrest, so i whipped that up as well, hope you enjoy!
