Salt brings out the sweetness of fruits and baked goods. The tiny bit this calls for wont impact a low-sodium diet -- youre going to use less than 1/8 tsp.

 

Baked Game Hens on plate

Oven Baked Game Hens
The salt is needed for flavor. You can always use less. Chicken powder is the same as bouillon cubes, except not in cube form. Depending on the brand you use, you might be able to omit the other salt.

Quick Oven Hard Boiled Eggs
FWIW, I dont even put them in tins. I just set them on the oven rack and bake them for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Then, I immediately put them in a bowl of ice and water to stop the cooking and cool them enough to handle them.

Attosa's Skinny Zebra Cake
This is a fun dessert, but it is NOT low in calories! You can use a sugar-free mix, though, and reduce the calorie count some.

 

Salt and Vinegar Weed Killer

All Natural Weed Killer
If you ever plan to use that area for planting, do NOT use the salt. If you are looking for a permanent solution (between pavers, etc.), then the salt is fine.

Getting Rid of Possums?
Moth balls have worked well for me in getting rid of skunks & other unwanted animals; I bet theyd work for possums, too. (And theyre cheap!) Sprinkle a few on the ground around the plants; replace them after rain or really heavy dew.

No-Sew Cloth Napkins?
Buy the fabric you like, along with Stitch Witchery (or its equivalent). Fold the edges 1/4 and finger-press it down. Fold over another 1/4, slip a piece of SW between the new fold and the rest of the napkin, iron it down to fuse it. For reversible napkins...

Craft Uses for Pill Folders?
If they are the matchbook-style or something similar, how about using them as mini-scrapbooks? Cover them with pretty paper (or fabric, ribbon, etc.) and use them as the book cover. For other ideas, Id have to see a picture, to be sure of what were talking...
