I must admit, I have been quite slack this past year in keeping up with my blog. It isn't due to lack of desire, but lack of time. So while I take much more time to research new topics, I thought I would write brief entries on some of the little things I do to make our meals healthier.
So.....
Tip #1--To Much Sodium??
If you are concerned that you are getting too much sodium in your diet, then there are a couple of things you can do to decrease that. But before you do, measure how much you are consuming each day and compare that to the recommended daily amounts. Read labels because salt hides everywhere.
1. Use sea salt. It has less sodium than regular table salt.
2. Use an all purpose seasoning mix. My dad gave me this recipe (see below). I use it in cooking when something calls for salt. Obviously, this would not be something you would use in sweet treats.
1 c. salt
1/4 c. black pepper
1/4 c. onion powder
1/4 c. garlic powder
Mix and store in an air tight container. Use the same amount you would use if a recipe would call for just salt. (ex. 1 teaspoon salt = 1 teaspoon seasoning mix) I like it because it adds a little extra flavor.
Tip #2 soon to come.
