Hi! It’s so hard to find a website with a variety of low sodium recipes. My little girl is about to turn 7 and we’re trying to plan her birthday party. We’re trying to keep her blood pressure down, but still eat fairly “normal”. Thanks so much for all of the recipes!
You’re so welcome, Angela! Hope you have a wonderful party. Happy birthday to your daughter!
This snack mix is SO good! I’ve made it several times. Looking forward to trying your other recipes. 🙂
Yay! So glad you’re enjoying it, Joy!
All the best to you,
