My dad can't eat alot of sodium or soy products of any kind, so stir frys are pretty much out of the question. This recipe gives you that same flavor of stir fry without all of the sodium and calories. This recipe has a perfect proportion of calories, carbs, proteins, and fats!

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.

My latin mom makes this recipe all the time and it's so delicious! We prefer to pour it over rice and mix it all up. It's really good as a soup too. It's quick and easy with no need to soak beans overnight. For an added kick, add some hot sauce or peppers to your liking.

Better Homes and Garden's Cheese and Basil Polenta

Sort of a pain to make, but really creamy and yummy... kind of like lasagna. Make it at night when you have time to kill and it's a breeze to pop in the oven the next day for an easy dinner.
