Hopefully someone who lives close to you might be willing to give you a lift. I'm coming from La Grange so won't be able to unfortunately. You still have time to find transportation - don't give up!

Where there's a will....maybe I can get my hubby to drive me. I don't drive good at night AND I am new here, so I get lost (not a good combo). Nonetheless, I will try. Look forward to meeting you.

Americans consume 4,000 mg of sodium, on average, each and every day. Based on the current recommendation from major health organizations, including the World Health Organization, if you’re a healthy adult interested in preventing disease, you should consume 2,300 mg or less per day. And, if you fall into a category shared by 70 percent of all Americans (middle-aged and older, African American, or already have high blood pressure), consuming more than 1,500 mg per day is too much.
During this presentation, I'll share a chart for one common kitchen pantry item, baking powder, in which I compare nine different brands (along with their price) and their sodium content.
I also include info on whether or not the brand contains aluminum as studies suggest this, too, might be hazardous to our health.
Come learn how-to be a more informed, conscious consumer by making simple changes when you shop.
