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.

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).

Okay, I was thinking you were trying to keep yourself at less than 1000. I learned that like a bag of salt and vinegar chips for $1 has like 900mg of sodium. :P I try and not eat stuff too high in sodium. But my body is not yet subject to nature's woes. I didn't know that about flour tortillas.. :-/ |

Oh and typical pancake mix is out of the question too. Bleh. I have to order some no sodium baking soda and baking powder. What a pain in the ass. haha |
