Do you like to make homemade versions of food from your fav resturants. I love making my own creations otherwise labeled mcfood

I don't like to re-create recipes from restaurants but I do draw some inspiration from different menu items. Restaurants have become tricky business for me, since I now have to keep my daily sodium intake so low. I'll have a bite of something at a restaurant and then try to make a more heart healthy version at home.

what do you try to keep it at? I was shocked when I found out that like a lot of potato chips are super high in sodium.

About 2000 mg or less a day. When the whole hypertension thing came to light, I was shocked and very dismayed at the overwhelming amount of sodium in everything. It's pretty sad. Check out the labels for flour tortillas. It's depressing. Anything prepared with baking soda really. I get most of my food from Trader Joe's now (they have some awesome heart healthy food available).
