- Really - still not convinced? What about what you're modelling for your kids? Here are some tips on getting kids to eat vegetables.

ReplyDeleteCyn, Glad to hear your dad and dad-in-law are doing better. Glad to see you posting again too. Why does salty food taste so good anyway? Thanks for the great links.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy - thanks for coming by. Oooh salt - I love it. That's why it's important to cut back during cooking, so you can save it up for when it really makes a difference. Like salted caramels. Yum. Or oven baked sweet potato fries with Maldon salt. :-) Crap - now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're well and enjoying lovely weather.
