A big hearty low-fat welcome to all of you! Ron's Recipes is the site where you can find absolutely delicious low-fat recipes guaranteed to be kinder to your artery walls than fried food!
I decided about ten years ago at the age of 38 that I wasn't getting any younger and I'd better start eating healthy.
By "healthy," I mean no more McDonald's fries. No more greasy bacon and egg breakfasts. No more fried chicken.
Now here's the best part: You can still engage in a little guilty pleasure every now and then! For instance, about every couple of weeks or so, I indulge in two eggs over easy with bacon and hash browns at the local greasy spoon. I just make sure to eat healthy otherwise.
Now you'll notice that salt is liberally used at Ron's Recipes. I have mild high blood pressure that I keep under control with 40 mg of Diovan daily. My blood pressure has crept up very gradually until I went on the medication a couple of years ago.
Would cutting back on salt help? Maybe. I have switched to a lower sodium blend that Morton has started marketing. But the fact is that I'm comfortable eating salt without guilt, as long as I keep taking my small dose of Diovan daily.
But feel free to use salt substitutes if you need instead of the real thing where you can.
I use lots of mixes instead of breaking marinades and spice blends down to the basics. That's because I work a full-time job and produce columns for three other websites. I just don't have time to be a gourmet chef (YET!). I'll describe each mix under the ingredients category.
I'll also try to add a new recipe every week. So please sign up for the email updates. It's all automatic, and I solemnly swear not to do anything underhanded with your email information.
So let's get started eating healthy and deliciously!
