Recipe: Baked Potatoes a la Mrs. Dash

After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and just trying to eat healthy while I was pregnant, I knew I had to cut back salt in my diet.  There are just so many yummy foods that I use salt on.  Luckily Mrs. Dash kept me going this summer through all of our barbecues.

My favorite side to use Mrs. Dash on is potatoes.  Whether we are just putting on whole baked potatoes on the grill or I am cutting them up and baking them, I love Mrs. Dash on them.  It is the perfect salt substitute.  My husband has also been hooked on trying the different seasonings on his hamburgers.

With 14 different flavors you could have 14 different versions of the same meal – so far I have tried Garlic & Herb, Caribbean Citrus, and Southwest Chipotle on our potatoes!  I love them all!

All summer meat and vegetables have never been the same and I really don’t even think I could go back to boring old salt.  Not only does Mrs. Dash satisfy that salt-like craving but it also flavors my meals.  Even if salt is not a concern in your diet, why not enjoy the extra flavors and try something new!
