Yup, we're going to indulge in a typical American holiday picnic. Hot dogs with sauerkraut, ketchup, mustard, potato chips, pickles, and olives. And it's all going to be low sodium thanks to some wonderful online sources and my local grocery store.Here's my grocery list:
Hot Dogs (Abeles & Heymann Reduced Sodium Beef Franks) from SaltWatcher.com
Mustard (Temeraire No Salt Added Dijon Mustard & Herlochers Dipping Mustard) from SaltWatcher.com
Sauerkraut (B & G - Reduced Sodium - Sauerkraut) from HeartWise Foods
Dill Pickles (B & G - Unsalted - Low Sodium - Crunchy - Kosher Dill Pickles) from HeartWise Foods
Olives (Mario - Low Sodium - Pitted Black - Olives - Medium) from HeartWise Foods
Potato Chips (Tim's Unsalted Potato Chips) from Raley's, my local grocery store
Ketchup (Heinz No Salt Added Ketchup) from Raley's my local grocery store
So, was it good? Yes! The hot dogs were the most most expensive item because they were shipped over night, frozen and packed in dry ice. But, for a twice a year treat, I think they were worth it. This goes to show
that you can eat some so-called "forbidden" foods and still maintain a low sodium diet. Every once in a while it's good to just eat some fun food. Labor Day was a perfect time. Summer is ending, and before we know it, it'll be time for stews & soups.

They look and sound wonderful, I love kraut on hotdogs, or chili :)
We are passing on the traditional labor day food this weekend as we are invited to a cookout the following week. The best part is I don't have to cook ... LOL!
