I make this dip every year for New Years (and for myself whenever I have a craving.)

For parties, I double the recipe and spread on a large cookie sheet and top with vegetables.

If you are cooking for someone on a low sodium diet, use this recipe instead of taco seasoning. This recipe is the equivelant to one package of taco seasoning (or 3 tablespoons.) Adjust the strength of any ingredient to your taste.

Forget buying packets of seasonings. They're expensive and often full of salt. Save sodium and money by making this easy herb blend. Use it in sauces, soups, stews, on meats... anywhere you want to add Italian flavor without fat or sodium!

"Vanilla extract" usually isn't made with real vanilla. The good news is that it's really easy--and affordable--to make your own.

This is a simple recipe from The Philadelphia "Cooking With Philly" website. It goes fabulously well on top of my carrot cake; LM's Carrot Cake.

I just looooove the flavor of the Oriental flavor ramen, but don't want the MSG or high salt. Here is a copycat that tastes just like it, without the sodium. I use it in everything now, and add salt to taste.

This is a wonderful blend for chicken or turkey!

Seasoning only. YMMV on calories to what type or size of chicken you choose to put this on. I used legs and thighs and grilled them out on the gas grill. They were outstanding. You could also use them on boneless, skinless breasts and bake them in the oven.

Homemade adobo seasoning adapted from a recipe on Chow.com. Theirs called for chipotle chile powder - I substituted Chili powder. I think I ended up adding more cumin and garlic - you'll want to experiment to taste. It makes about .5 cup of seasonings.

Most cajun seasonings call for a lot of salt, if you like it saltier and don't have a problem with blood pressure, you can add more. You can also add 3 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp oregano and 1/2 tsp basil in the mix as well.

Sodium Free Season mix
Create this to your own taste
Garlic Powder Gives somewhat of a salt taste
So if you like salt but need to limit sodium intake this works well.
