I found something worth sharing at the grocery yesterday..."Light RAGU" No Sugar Added Tomato & Basil Sauce. It's amazingly low in sodium for spaghetti sauce in a jar, and it's also low in fat, sugar, cholesterol...and it's delicious!!
There are just some days when you don't have time/energy/inclination to cook, so this makes dinner really easy. Most pasta has zero sodium; boil some water and cook your favorite (whole grain or wheat is better for you!). We decided to be extra lazy and cooked some of those refrigerated ravioli...I had to read every brand before I found one with less sodium--some of them are quite high. The ravioli we had was filled with spinach & ricotta cheese, and cooked in 4 minutes.
Also had a simple caesar salad with organic hearts of romaine (rinsed and torn up into bite size pieces), fresh tomatoes & tossed with just a small amount of the lowest sodium Caesar dressing I could find (more on those options in another blog).
Even though this meal has more sodium than most that we eat, the total is still much less than one drive-thru burger or burrito, and much healthier, yet still easy, quick & tasty! Try it!
