Cranberry parfait

I can’t resist Trader Joe’s Cranberry sauce. I by it every year and try to find a new recipe to use it in.

This year it was Cranberry parfaits. A two ingredient recipe, cranberry sauce and yogurt.

It makes a pretty pink color if you mix it up. It was a great lunch addition to use up Thanksgiving leftovers.

Green Bean Casserole (Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Soy-free, Tree nut-free, Peanut-free, Nightshade-free)

The holidays would not be complete without green bean casserole.  When we first went dairy and gluten free we went many years without this holiday staple.  Then I learned to make a roux and I started making this casserole again without the French Fried Onions.  And then, ALDI started making gluten free french fried onions and holidays dinner was complete!

Personally I like it if the green beans are still a little crunchy so I use fresh beans.  Using can or frozen beans is fine too.  The other ingredient that can be changed around is the onions.  I like using dried chopped onions, the ones you get in the spice isle.  These make me think more of the dried onion soup mix that I used before we started our gallery journey.

I hope this recipe helps make your holidays complete. – SB
