healthy sandwich recipes for men image
Megan
I am engaged to a man with a 1 1/2 year old little boy. So I will soon be a full time mother (the child's mother is not in his life.) His father travels a lot for his work so I will be his primary care giver and I am worried about making sure he has healthy food but I also want food that will be easy for him to eat. I'm open to breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas.

Football season is upon us! Any advice for low sodium snack foods?
michelle37
I'm looking for low-sodium, low-potassium versions of football snack favorites. I'm preparing these for a young man with severe heart problems and needs to limit his sodium intake to a very small amount. I don't want him to feel like he's missing out on everything he used to enjoy eating and doing, so i'm trying to keep game days as close to normal as possible. Any suggestions, recipes, tips, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Processed meats, such as hot dogs etc., are high in sodium. You might want to consult with the dietitions of Whole Foods on this dilema. They have products that taste somewhat comprable, but are lower in sodium, fat, and sugar.
From a practical standpoint, making your own dips, french fries and meats for sandwiches might be a good idea. Have you considered AllRecipes.com in their heart healthy selections? Here are some other ideas:
1. BBQ'd Pork Sandwiches: lean pork tenderloin, cooked and tossed in low sodium Barbecue sauce. Serve with home made cole slaw and baked "fries" (potato wedges, drizzled with a little olive oil and tossed with herbs, garlic, and lite salt) with low sodium ketchup.
2. Vege dip: fat free sour cream mixed with chopped water chestnuts, spinach (defrosted and drained of all liquid), and low-sodium leek soup mix. Serve with carrot stix and celery, cauliflower, and low sodium crackers.
3. Brownies: look for low-fat, low-sugar brownie mixes (Trader Joes and Krusteaz), add applesauce instead of eggs or oil and bake. Top with sugar free/fat free ice cream.
Good luck!
