So tonight we had our first low sodium pizza. The total for my half, cheese only, was 455mg, and Clay’s, with added jalapenos, was 505mg. We used an Udi’s brand pizza crust (total 560mg) and it was nice and crispy. I made the pizza sauce (1 ½ cups=12 servings at 5mg per serving for a total of 60mg) from a recipe in our low sodium cookbook. I have come to find that I have to double or even triple the amount of herbs and spices to really knock out that no salt taste. Again, I have yet to find any low sodium or salt free cheese so we just went with our part-skim mozzarella, which is 200mg per ¼ cup (we uses 1 ½ servings total).
My co-worker suggested that if we wanted a crisper crust to pre-cook the crust for 5 mins before adding any toppings. We did that, added all of our toppings and cooked the pizza for another 3 mins or until the cheese was melted. The pizza was really pretty good and Clay pretty much loved it, he just wished he could have more. Here’s the final product:
Not so sure what we’re going to be doing about dinner tomorrow night. Clay’s youngest sister is getting married and the rehearsal dinner is tomorrow. This is going to be a real test for us because we won’t know how any of it is prepared or anything. We may be eating before heading out. We’ve also got the wedding Saturday and of course there will be Filipino food there and this will be one of the first times that Clay has to pass up eating Lumpia (Filipino eggroll).
This is a big weekend for us for a few reasons. 1) Today is my Friday. I took off work tomorrow to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. We’re going to see it in IMAX 3D tomorrow morning at 10. 2). We go our very first foster dog today. His name is Markus and he’s a great dog. He’s getting along so well with our baby girls. Had we not taken him in today and if he had not gotten adopted this weekend he could have been put down. So sad! 3) Wedding weekend.
