Tuesday's Cupful: Dried Cranberries


Toss some into the mix
A handful of these are better than a serving of potato chips or other junk food snack items.  Dried cranberries come with so much sweet tart flavor and quite a bit of chewy goodness.  Look for them next to the raisins, prunes, and in some trail mixes.  We suggest keeping a bag or two in your kitchen since they go well with fresh greens or salads.  Toss a bunch of dried cranberries into your usual dressing or turkey stuffing recipe at Thanksgiving to sneak more nutrition into every bite.   Dried cranberries also add a touch of fruity flavor dimension to bread or cookie recipes.  Meanwhile, they’re a source of dietary fiber and antioxidants.
