Low-Sodium Recipes

[Pink Mom]

Hi I am new to this forum and on a low sodium diet due to serious medical conditions. Any good recipes, cookbooks or tips is appreciated thank you so much

Welcome!  Your first line of defense is to check the labels on all the packaged goods you might have used in cooking, like pasta sauce, chicken stock, soy sauce, canned beans and condiments. Loaded with sodium. Forget any frozen meals, even the so-called healthier stuff from Trader Joe’s… They are salt bombs. 

I like a lot of the salt free seasoning blends from Penzey’s.  If you are not close to one, check out their website.  They create many interesting spice blends that can enhance flavor of meats and vegetables without salt.  Think of other flavor enhancers, such as lemon or vinegar, as salt replacements in some recipes.

She also has at least one cookbook.  She has medical problems that require her to be salt free and low sodium. From her I learned that scallops have a lot of sodium.

Thank you, Pat - and I suspect I also speak for Pink Mom in saying 'thank you."
