Chris had to start an Iodine Free diet for the next 2 weeks for his testing with MD Anderson. Try cooking/eating anything without salt. That means no canned anything, no store bought bread, no frozen meals etc. This is actually making me think about cooking and menus. It Sucks!! He can have veggies/fruits and other things that take much preparation. So for dinner we had hamburgers (without the bun, his favorite seasoning and no KETCHUP). They actually turned out great with a lot of onion,garlic and iodine free salt!! One of Chris and Morgan's favorites is artichokes. Lucky for them, artichokes were on sale this week. They were the hugest ones I've ever seen. Sam and Alex decided that they would try them and realized they really liked them too. It helps having butter to dip them in. Morgan was teaching Sam how to eat them, what a great big sister. Alex decided to share with me. They all really enjoyed their artichokes and were wanting more. Maybe we will have to go back and get more for tomorrow. It does keep them quite busy and quiet at the dinner table.

I'm terrible about meal planning, so this would make me have to think REALLY hard. It's cool that the girls liked the artichokes - we grew them in our garden when I was growing up, and at them ALL the time. I don't think my kids would even know it if they saw one, though. Good luck with the "diet!"
We tried a diet a few years ago that consisted of no salt and it truly was hard and not as pleasing. I found a lot of Mrs Dash items and used them. There are actually a lot of slat or low sodium items you just have to look and pay a higher price for them. Good luck Chris-it isn't fun but hopefully rewarding
