Food help!
Oct. 9th, 2006 06:05 pmMy mother is here visiting me for two weeks, after not having seen me for almost nine years. I have not previously mentioned this because it's been a source of immense stress for quite a while now, and every entry I started about it inevitably devolved into "ICANTDOTHISOMGWTFAAAAAARGH!"
She came on Saturday, and so far it's been okay (other than finding her sitting alone and silent in the dark when I came home from
ndannais's graduation last night, because she couldn't figure out how to work the lights or TV. Other issues come and go, as expected.
The one practical issue I'm having is how to feed her. My usual fare is whatever I can make fit on my WW plan, but my mother has blood pressure problems and can't eat very much sodium. She went through my entire kitchen last night, pointing out what had too much sodium in it, and it turns out it was... pretty much everything. I can do low fat, low calorie, low carb, low flavor, but low sodium I'm having a problem with.
So, can anyone recommend any resources for tasty but low sodium foods/recipes? Preferably low fat and calorie as well? That has flavor, if that's not asking too much? I'm googling, but any recommendations for known successes (personal or secondhand) would be greatly appreciated.
Barring that, send valium (that one's for me).
