Mel's Kitchen is open again and looking for salt-free recipes
It's been a while since my last post, and I apologize! My dad had to have bypass surgery, so I've been running up and down between Florida and here for the last two weeks. I just found out he's going home Tuesday, so it looks like a happy ending. At least until my dad sees the menu my mom has planned for him -- she's gonna stick to his diet to the letter -- little to no salt, watching fat intake, and all kinds of stuff that he's going to be grumbling about, to be sure.
So right now I'm on the lookout for salt-free recipes, preferably low-fat. I'll post the better ones as I come across them, and I would love to hear from you about what works for you.
And here's my soapbox pitch for the day -- if you smoke, stop now. My dad was in the hospital for at least two weeks longer than necessary because his lungs were in no shape for surgery, and it's likely the smoking was a big factor in him having the surgery. If you can't stop for you, stop for your family, who are the ones who are going to have to deal with it when something happens to you.
