I have several friends who are watching their sodium intake so I became interested in looking at the sodium count in recipes. I am calling low sodium
any meal under 500 milligrams of sodium. This book contains a chapter of low sodium meals but low sodium meals in the other chapters are marked by 3 asterisks (***). Please check with your doctor to be sure of your daily sodium limits.
The key to quick and easy meals is kitchen timesavers. Pre-cooked meat can really help you speed up meal time. For instance, if I need one half pound of cooked sausage for a meal, I cook the entire pound and freeze half. The next time I need a 1/2 pound of sausage it is already cooked for me! The same with bacon. I also like to cook whole chickens (see my Slow Easy book), remove the meat from the bone and freeze that meat until I need it.
I like to use light or low fat products but if you prefer fat free or regular products, feel free to substitute those instead.
Here’s another secret. Taco seasoning you make yourself is much tastier than store-bought packages. Here’s my recipe:
Taco Seasoning
1 1/2 tsp. Chili powder
3/4 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Chipotle powder
1/2 tsp. salt
dash chili & lime powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. Splenda
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
Mix in small cup.
