This post is in conjunction with Lisa’s St. Paddy’s Day post below, “Don’t Pass the Salt”. Most people I know are constantly trying to lose weight or watch their weight. A good percentage of these have been told by their doctors to lower their sodium intake. The majority of these think their food enjoyment days are over. Well I am here to call “bs” on this. As Lisa says, moderation and walking away from processed food where possible is key to a healthier life style.

You can keep ALL the flavor in the foods you eat simply by cooking from scratch and adding the spices and herbs you prefer to your meals. At www.emealsforyou.com we are currently posting a category of Sodium Reduced recipes; these are our great recipes redone with an eye to reducing sodium and not flavor. Most of these can be prepared in less then 30 minutes and are “good” enough to feed to the entire family; no need to prepare food for dad and another meal for the kids. We have recipes for everything from Southwest Chicken to Peach Melba Sorbet.

I will make you a deal. If you find a recipe in one of our other 23 recipe categories, with hundreds of recipes, and would like us to make it reduced sodium just send us an email. I truly believe once you get used to cooking from scratch and not from cans you will enjoy the food more and more importantly improve your health. Don’t pass the salt but do pass the flavor.
