Sunday suppers are a tradition in my family and I enjoy making something new every week. Over the years it also has become more challenging. I myself am diabetic and must have a low sodium intake. Within my family we have gluten allergies, shellfish allergies, sugar intolerance, lactose intolerance along with the need to reduce sodium, cholesterol and fat where possible. And we could all use to lose a few pounds. There are members of the family that do not have these restrictions. Even so, the main goal is to find recipes that everyone enjoys without feeling they are missing something.
Trying to find recipes on the web that tackle low sodium is easy. As is searching for something gluten free. Or sugar free. But finding recipes combining all of these restrictions is often difficult, if not impossible. So I do not look for these specifically. I look at recipes that do not specify these things and alter them to fit our needs. With the availability of gluten free flours, lower trans fat margarines and decent sugar substitutes it is getting easier to recreate some favorites.
I plan to start posting my Sunday supper adventures. Cooking is my way of bringing my family together. I hope you enjoy my recipes.
