Low Carb Cranberry Bread and a Giveaway

Low Carb Gluten Free Cranberry Bread

This is my first and only blog which I started nearly six months ago to see how the whole thing works. During this learning period, I have met some great bloggers and have discovered new techniques for low carb cooking. The holiday season is here so I thought it would be a great time to have a giveaway.

Steviva 100% Pure Stevia Powder

When cooking, I like to keep things simple and natural. Although I do use artificial sweeteners on occasion, I prefer sticking with all natural sweeteners. My favorite sweetener is stevia, but when used alone, it is difficult to achieve the same level of sweetness that sugar provides. By using more than one type of sweetener, a better sweetness can be achieved because the sweeteners are working synergistically together. Typically, a sweeter taste results from combining stevia with another sweetener and there is no aftertaste. The best combination I’ve found is stevia with erythritol and that combination is the base for many pre-made stevia blends like Truvia and PureVia.

The winner of the give away will receive one bottle of Steviva brand stevia. I’ve been using this brand of stevia for a several months and it has worked out really well as a sugar substitute. Here’s how to enter the contest:

1. Have an address in the US or Canada

2. Leave a comment with your favorite food that you’d like to see a low carb recipe for

3. Contest runs until Thursday, December 16

4. Winner will be announced Friday, December 17 and contacted by email for shipping address

Here’s a recipe for low carb cranberry bread using stevia and erythritol. The original recipe appeared in a Martha Stewart magazine. If you like cranberries, you are sure to like this one because it is loaded with berries. There is a full twelve ounce bag of cranberries in this loaf.
