Cranberry sauce - some people love it and some people pass on it altogether. While I love a tart cranberry juice mixed with sparkling water, I find traditional, and especially commercial, cranberry sauce too sweet for my taste, so I make a healthy Cranberry Chia Sauce instead, keeping it very simple with very little processing and sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. What is leftover after Thanksgiving is wonderful as a jam – a slice of baguette with a bit of brie topped with some cranberry chia sauce – delish!

Marinara sauce is one of easiest tomato sauces you can make. My marinara takes less than a half hour to make and is a bit of a hybrid sauce in regards to flavour as I add onion, a bit of anchovy paste (easily omitted for a vegan or vegetarian marinara), both basil and oregano and I add parsley too. It is still lighter than a traditional tomato sauce and it is delicious!
