Health + Recipes: A Simple and Clean Holiday Cranberry Sauce
I can't believe Thanksgiving is only a week away! It's so easy to fall into the holiday trap of eating tons of fat, sugar, and
processed foods...but it always leaves me feeling sluggish, tired, and irritable.. not to mention bloated:) Whenever I can, I
try to eat the cleanest version of holiday foods...which really isn't hard to do with all of the healthy cooking websites out
there and plethora of clean ingredients available at nearly every supermarket...it just take a little more effort (good things
come to those who wait:). So, I wanted to share with you my favorite Clean Eating Cranberry Sauce recipe that I found on
www.thegraciouspantry.com. We made this last Thanksgiving and it's amazing how great real ingredients and simple
recipes can really taste (no added sugars, GMO's, chemicals, etc.) Plus, its super easy and saves well.. this will be
a holiday staple for me for years to come. Enjoy!

Clean Eating Cranberry Sauce
(Makes approx. 1-1/4 cups)
Ingredients
- 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries (approx. 3 1/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cinnamon stick
- zest of one large orange4yh543j
- 1 cup distilled water
Directions
- Put everything in a pot, and turn your stove on.
- Cook over a medium-high heat for about 30-45 minutes. When most of the liquid is cooked out, turn your stove down to a simmer. The longer you let this simmer, the thicker the sauce will get. Just don’t let ALL the liquid cook out or it will burn. Stir more frequently near the end.
- Allow to cool before eating, or else will burn your tongue :)
- Serve for you and all your family and friends to enjoy!

Home + Fashion: Sunlight Over Me
Open Up
Nothing could be more refreshing in a home than letting the
sunlight in and the soft wind breathe clean air through the room. Nowadays it
seems our houses and apartments lack the most essential part to having a
breathable home; windows.
Ceiling-t0-floor paneled windows is a dream come true for those
who love to let the sunrays in. We happen to be one of them ;)
We've gathered a dreamy collection of windows that all create a
space perfect for self-centering and relaxation. Get inspired!
Enjoy :)

Home: Clean and Green
Green seems to automatically give a
feeling of life, growth and serenity. The fresh feeling of the hue is great to
incorporate within your home decor. Add the color to your home with houseplants,
wall decor, a throw blanket or even the color of a wall!
Add a little bit of earth's most prominent
natural color to your sanctuary! It's bound to bring a breath of life into your
environment :)
