Thanks Snowy, I totally forget about sodium, I have hereditary low blood pressure and pernicious anemia, so I have never had to worry about salt (yet), and I am a salt-oholic for sure, as was my grandmother and my mom is still a salty.
You are right about the sodium content of the Vindaloo, but other than that, it seems o.k., and for a super quick, inexpensive, easy to store, rice and veg. meal with a bit of Indian flare it tastes great, once I add salt to it that is....... joking, kinda. I truly do salt everything, so please take any recipes I offer without the grain of salt.
My healthy mainstays are Grape-nuts with yogurt, yum...... Red pepper hummus with tomatoes and onion/olive relish on a pretzel stick wrapped with Boar's Head Turkey...... any grilled or roasted fish (except pompano) with asparagus and smashed cauliflower..... roasted butternut squash soup (really easy to make and soooo good). Any homemade legume stew, but, my boys won't eat most of this, so I don't prepare it often enough. I really enjoy a nice finger tray with lean meat, fresh vegs, and some good sharp habanero cheese. I am more of a grazer type person.
p.s. I like my grits without polenta.........
