Lower sodium cooking poses some different challenges than any other type of cooking. And if you are a full-time Cargeiver with a full-time job - you are even more challenged! You have to not only get used to seasoning (and I use that term lightly) with salt substitutes and alternate spices - but also to hearing the critiques of the meals that you have tried so hard to make tasty without our beloved salt. You are also limited in your variety of meats and sauces and you have to read EVERY label while grocery shopping to ensure you are not purchasing anything that may save you time but could cause harm to a loved one on a sodium restricted diet. Fast food is NOT an option so Caregiver’s rarely get time off from the kitchen. This cook book and meal planner is written with Caregiver’s in mind to help shop for and prepare lower sodium meals that can be made ahead of time to ease the pressure of having to cook dinner EVERY night.
