500 Low Sodium Recipes had to go back to the library, so this week I'm working with some other recipes. These are the plans...again, I'm planning for more than one week, just in case things change or I need some emergency meals.
Saturday: Sloppy Joes (I've been trying to adapt our house favourite), salad/vegetable. ALREADY CHANGED: we found a good deal on chicken breasts, tortillas were still 99 cents a package, so we're going with chicken fajitas instead.
Sunday: the usual Sunday meat dinner, potatoes, vegetables. Lemon Delight...I haven't figured out the sodium count on this one, but I'm hoping it's not too bad if we use no-salt margarine and go easy on the graham crumbs. Check back on that one--I'll try to come up with a count.
Monday: Cheese ravioli and spaghetti sauce, salad
Tuesday: Salmon patties (using low-sodium saltines, no salt etc.), frozen french fries, frozen corn.
Wednesday: Crockpot falafel (adapted to be lower sodium), couscous, salad and chopped vegetables, mini pitas,yogurt, clementines, figs. You may notice we're not serving the falafel IN the pitas--last time I did that nobody here seemed to be interested. So I thought I'd just serve the patties along with some mini-pitas--maybe they can make mini-falafels! (UPDATE: I couldn't find mini-pitas but we did find low-sodium whole-wheat pitas, so I'll use those.)
Thursday: "Evan's Mom's Ground Chicken Skillet" (scroll down for recipe)--made with tomato paste and milk rather than canned soup. I haven't tried this yet without salt--I might add a bit of some other kind of seasoning.
Friday: Italian Rice-cheese balls, herbed bean and pepper stir-fry, cauliflower salad, oranges or other fruit, cookies. (This was a menu I clipped a long time ago from Vegetarian Times and made a few times for semi-special occasions; most of the dishes are already quite low in sodium, and if we can find a low-sodium mozzarella that works to stuff the balls with, we're home-free. Oh--I know--we could use mini bocconcini balls! I think this recipe is an adaptation of the one I use, but there's no sodium count given. Here's another from the VT site (more recent than my clipping); sodium count is fairly high.)
Saturday #2: Sweet-potato pancakes (like latkes; homemade seasoning mix and leave out the salt), sausages (not low-sodium--small piece), sauerkraut (low-sodium kind), applesauce
Sunday #2: Honey-mustard chicken or Applesauce Chicken, noodles, peas.
Monday #2: Beef-spinach tortillas (adapted), rice, salad
