RECIPES

Choosing to use low-sodium products is only part of the solution to following a heart-healthy lifestyle — learning to cook "healthy" is the other. Preparing an appetizing meal that controls not only sodium but also fats, carbohydrates, and sugar can be a challenge.

Bobbie Mostyn, author of the Pocket Guide to Low Sodium Foods, has been following a heart-healthy lifestyle for many years and is sharing her recipes in a series of cookbooks. The first in The Hasty Gourmet™ series is The Hasty Gourmet™ Low-Salt Favorites, with over 300 easy-to-make, great-tasting recipes the whole family will love.

The following recipes are from this first cookbook. Try one of these delicious dishes or contribute one of your favorites at info@indata.com.
