This citrusy rice contains almonds, celery, and onions, but no added salt for a flavorful low sodium side dish.
These “mashed potatoes” taste just as good as the real thing, but they’re much lower in carbs!
Load up on Roma tomatoes when they're in season, then dry them in the oven to intensify their flavor and savor them all year round.

Try a two for one: The next time you are turning on the oven to 375 degrees, roast the squash, cool it slightly, peel and package to freeze. You'll have butternut squash on hand whenever you need it, and you can have dinner on the table in no time!
After you've roasted a chicken or turkey don't throw away the bones. They can be used to make homemade, low-sodium stocks, which can add flavor to your healthy, home-cooked meals.

Good side dish and an easy way to get in a serving of veggies.
The problem you always run into with eggplant is blandness and it's hard for me to enjoy it without frying it up! (not so healthy) until now ;)

Tapenade is a traditional sauce or condiment from Provence, in the south of France. It adds a punch of flavor for very few calories. You can buy premade tapenade, but you'll spend more money and be consuming more sodium than if you made it at home.
This is a tasty side that can be added to any main course.
