    Chicken Cacciatore tonight.

    Kevin had sent me "The New Slow Cooker - from A Taste of Home" and I just put a Chicken Cacciatore in the 4 Qt and will check it out after work tonight. Thanks again to Kevin - BTW its the one on page 148. I didn't have any mushrooms so I substituted sliced bell pepper instead.

    Potato Soup recipe needed!

    First off this is to be converted to a "Low sodium" recipe so any cheese is a no-no). I have found a decent substitute for milk (Original Coffee Mate at 0 sodium) and my first thought was I can now make potato soup.

    Bread pudding!

    Anyone have a recipe for bread pudding. We used to have it at a local eatery that was great. It was real sweet and tasted like had some booze in it.

    Dutch ovens and gas grills!

    Am I the only lazy one here? I use mine on my gas grill. Put the DO of one side and light the other. My grill will idle down to about 225 or up to 400 with just one burner lit.

    You have a single Inpic in pan list.

    The only ones I seem to have are my old cast iron ware. Oh yeah. Inpic = Item Not Produced In China!

    Cream of Tomato soup

    Most all cream soups are a no-no for a low sodium diet. This one was copied and changed several times mostly to get rid of the dry milk powder that was creating most of the sodium count. First you have to make a "No-Salt seasoning. 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder plus 1 1/4 tsps of the following...

    Rick is really falling down on the job!

    One of my first forums every morning has been "What's for dinner" to see what Rick was cooking, complete with pictures, and that gave me my inspiration for the day. Rick, you must be taking the day off lately.

    2 Qt Slowcooker recipes!

    Being on a low sodium diet means cooking for 1 most of the time. If you don't have a heart condition why give up the sodium. So if you guys have any "one pot" slow cooker recipes I would love to see them. When I mean "one pot" I'm talking about those recipes that don't require a separate...

    I think I love my bread machine!

    After I returned my "toaster-toaster" for a refund, I took that and a gift card from my daughter and finally bought a bread machine. Wife said don't bother since everyone she knows who has had one gave it away. I would too if I could buy bread but my "super low sodium" diet limits my bought...

    Major Toaster Oven problems!

    Well I got my Toaster Oven for Christmas and now I'm about to chunk it. I thought a toaster oven would be just like an oven, only smaller. I found my 8 inch skillet would fit in fine so I mixed up a small skillet of cornbread. This should bake about 20-25 minutes depending on oven. After...

    Black-eyed peas and cabbage!

    We always have the traditional new years fare. I'm not allowed the ham anymore but there will be some out. I think I know where there is a pork chop hiding in the freezer. BTW we forgot to get a cabbage before they sold out so a bag of coleslaw mix will have to do.

    Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage!

    T-Bones for Christmas!

    Going to be 7 of us. The wife and I plus my son and DIL and our daughter and SIL plus my MIL. No, we are not being traditional at all. At first it was going to be Fajitas then somehow it ended up steaks. The vote came to T-bones and baked potatoes. Somehow everyone votes but only dad buys...

    Vegetable Soup.

    Most of my soup recipes just evolve from making changes each time I make it. This started one night when I wanted soup and didn't have anything but an onion, very little celery and one carrot. I've changed it every time but I really liked it last night. It is a way to use those few leftover...

    Chicken and Rice???

    I am attempting to duplicate my dads chicken and rice. Problem is he never followed a recipe, never used measuring cups or spoons and certainly didn't write anything down. All I know is that it started with a whole chicken and included onion, celery and the rice was included in it and not...

    Made brown gravy last night from a mix.

    I know low sodium brown gravy mix is nothing more then cornstarch with large amounts of sodium free beef bouillon in it but when you haven't had it for a while it's OK. Recipe for the mix is halved from the original from Dick Logues book "500 Low Sodium Recipes". I like his book since he has a...

    Your thoughts on a toaster oven.

    I was thinking about one large enough to bake a chicken in. At under 15 Lbs it should allow me to bake for long periods of time outside without heating up the house during our long Louisiana summers. I have long ago switched to the gas grill for baking potatoes just for that reason. You guys...

    Baked fried fish?

    Everyone is saying that I shouldn't eat "fried" fish but I see recipes for chicken tenders that bake after it has been breaded. You spray the cornmeal, flour, spice coating with a non-stick oil to allow it to brown before baking at 350 for 30 minutes, turning once. Shouldn't that work with...

    It's tacos last night thanks to Mama.

    Several weeks ago the family had tacos while I had my "low sodium" chicken breast. Went to SP and asked if anyone had a recipe for low sodium taco seasoning or one I could convert to low sodium. Mama to the rescue. Her recipe is on the Low Sodium forum. Needless to say I made it and put in...

    Gonna be curried chicken tonight.

    Ever since scubalaydee sent me her recipe for sweet curried apples I've been on a curry craze. So I found a recipe for curried chicken that's low enough in sodium for me and I'm about to throw it into the Crockpot. Since it is a Rival I can safely use the term Crockpot. Lunch will be the...
