[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 456815, member: 6705"] Lisa - skip the sea salt. Expensive, and rarely worth it in my opinion. I've found - I use a LOT of garlic and onion powder. Both kids and husband used to pour on the salt - now? If I tell them I cooked it with salt, they don't even try. (Pepper's another thing, but it's not [I]quite[/I] as bad for you). The Nu-Salt - potassium chloride - has a funny bitter aftertaste. Yech. Peanut butter can be had with reduced sodium/fat at the same price, at Kroger. However - peanut butter is a LOT better for him than fried eggs! I have not bought Crisco in ages, and use vegetable oil sparingly. I do use olive oil. It's a bit more expensive, but since I don't use a LOT, one of those gallon cans will last me 2 years. The olive oil margarine, to me, tastes better than regular oleo - and there are TONS of coupons for it. My husband has high cholesterol and a family history of high blood pressure, so I watch that stuff. FWIW? Turkey bacon is horrid in my opinion. Get the normal stuff, cook, drain well, pull off fat, and then give him half of what's left... Or you can use a little bit as flavoring. Turkey pepperoni is actually not bad. Not nearly as greasy, either. I make homemade pizza every so often, and everyone loves it. I calculated out the calories, and it's less than half of delivery/frozen... [/QUOTE]
