I've always liked the Chicken and Sausage gumbo with the dark roue. If anyone knows how to make it please let me know. Now that I have a recipe for Andouille sausage that is low in sodium I could pull it off.

Being a heart patient canned beans are totally out of the picture so I use a lot of dried. Thought I would share this simple recipe since it works for a variety of dried beans, requires no pre-soaking and you don't have to stand over it. It requires a 2 Qt slow cooker (4 if you got a lot of...

Just tried to make biscuits again. Did not rise, brown or even cook on the inside. Ooops. Forgot the baking powder. Now that will ruin your biscuits quicker then anything.

Spent the other morning working up a batter recipe for onion rings and managed to lose it. It had corn meal, flour and an egg in it and that's about all I remember. Anyone have a decent one I would appreciate it. Thanks.

This is how I started. The baking powder is Featherweight and the butter is Unsalted to work with my heart condition but everyone else can use normal. BTW I make my own milk from non-dairy Coffee Creamer to cut down on the sodium also. 2 cups all purpose flour 1 Pkt Splenda 4 tsp baking...

After staying alive since 2003 with only 15% ejection fraction in my heart I've become fairly knowledgable in this area.

Looking for a simple recipe I can change to low sodium. If you have one please let me know.

I'm putting this under the beef column since all the pork in my area has been brined (full of salt) so I will need to make it out of anything but pork. Wouldn't mind a good breakfast sausage recipe either. Anyone have a good one please let me know.

I will be using my favorite taco recipe that I got from Mama to use on the low sodium Tostada Bowls I have found at my local grocery. Straight from Mama - Taco Seasoning 1 Tbs chili powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (I've lowered that to 1/8...

Yeah, the guy from Louisiana is looking for help with gumbo. I'm looking for a good gumbo recipe I can turn to low sodium plus has anyone ever heard of "baking" their flour before making the roux? Baking it in the oven before making the roux is supposed to give it a darker color I was told. I...

For you unedified Yankees that's the local pronunciation for New Orleans. Nawlins lies 8 ft below sea level and by all measurements it is sinking more each year. Sea level, BTW, is rising more each year due to global warming. If you spit on the sidewalk on Canal Street that will have to be...

I know this is Louisiana but all our water is now imported. The Mississippi River, fed by rains up north, is at or near flood stage. They had to open the Atchafalaya flood system just to keep New Orleans from flooding. Sacrificed Morgan City (above sea level) just to save New Orleans (below...

Silly question. I know Mama does. I'm looking for one with little or no cheese since it's gotta be low sodium. Rice, tomato sauce and browned ground beef sounds good to me but I like it a bit spicy.

I remember a post somewhere on "Salt Free Cheese" recipes. I know it might not be real cheese but if it can taste and melt like it I don't care. I don't even know if it was on this forum or not. So Mama can you direct me to it? I'm really in the mood for some cheese.

Just got back from Lafayette where my third Grandchild was born. :) Lillee Claire finally decided to join us at almost 10 PM Monday night. I tried to tell her that was past my bedtime but that girl didn't listen to a thing I said.
