Well, here goes nothing!

Let me start off by saying that I'm new to all of this, I've never had a blog before!

I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful little boys, Mason is almost 2 and Beckham is 7 months. I'm a full time student majoring in advertising design with a minor in graphic design. Between those two things, my schedule is pretty booked! My boyfriend Josh and I have been together for almost 5 years now and we were just getting comfortable with cooking... er... I was getting comfortable cooking! I'm completely self taught by the Food Network channel (and a few select family recipes), and I have to say that I was starting to get pretty confident in trying new recipes and mixing it up a little bit. Then Josh got diagnosed with extreme hypertension, and all of that changed! We were told that a low sodium diet was the way to go. When we started looking at the labels on the food that we were normally eating we were shocked at the amount of sodium! I've always considered myself a healthy eater, and have tried to buy mostly organic and fresh items, but wow. I never realized how much sodium was in... condiments? Cheese? Anything premade or frozen? It absolutely blew my mind! So I've realized that I basically need to relearn how to cook, and so starts my journey. 


I'm determined to find the most delicious low sodium meals out there. I know there are many people like me who feel like they need to change everything they know, and it is definitely overwhelming! So I've started this blog to help out anyone that I can. I'll be putting recipes on here that we have tried and have the hubby stamp of approval. Who knows, maybe we will all learn something along the way? Maybe a low sodium diet doesn't have to be bland and boring? I can tell you one thing... ours won't be!
