My NEW best friend!

I am a salt girl. Always have been.

In fact, when I was pregnant with Sissy, I ended up with pre-eclampsia because I ate so much salt! (Okay, well not quite, but that’s what I chalked it up to anyways.)  I suffered from horrible morning sickness and anything salted helped. Working next door to Mickey D’s didn’t help either. I would constantly be walking across the parking lot just to get an order of fries to settle my stomach. Or I would come in to work with TWO bags of sunflower seeds. Salt was my best friend.

3 years later, I still like to eat things that are salted, but not near as much. Now, I maybe eat MD’s only twice A MONTH!! I realize now that not only did it help my pocket book but probably my cholesterol as well!

A couple of weeks ago, we took the kids to see Hubby’s dad and stepmom. She had just cooked some supper before hand…fried chicken, potatoes, spinach, and chicken gravy. Of course, I am a huge chicken eater (odd seeing as I was raised on a chicken farm…)and I will try just about anything that has chicken in it! (Eggs, not so much. But chicken, yes!) Her fried chicken was delish! I asked her how she made it. She told me (like it was how everyone made chicken) that she simply dipped it in flour that had some seasoned salt, pepper, and some of this

in it! Mrs. Dash Table Blend. I am now addicted to this stuff! I bought a bottle of it shortly after, and I add it to everything I need seasoned. From chicken, to potatoes, to steak, and hamburger meat. It seems to have also made me eat a little healthier. I have made fried potatoes twice this week, but I have fried them in EVOO instead of vegetable oil, and used Mrs.. Dash instead of salt. And honestly…I think I liked them better than the other way.

I will definitely be buying more of this stuff in the future….I maybe even venture out and try some different blends. Not sure how adventurous I am though. Yep, Mrs. Dash is my NEW best friend. (Other than Stacy, RB, SA, and LR!!)
