@imallears There is another brand, Litehouse Organic Raspberry dressing that is good and very low in sodium.

My almost daily lunch is greens with strawberries and white meat chicken, and a raspberry dressing. I love goat cheese in it too but since discovering that I am lactose intolerant and that was the cause of some problems I was having, I no longer have that. I liked goat cheese partially because it has about half the sodium of other cheeses.

I made a stew last night from a mix that has only 10mg of salt per serving, and dehydrated vegetables. You add chicken broth, some onion, and cooked chicken. I was a bit leery wondering how the vegetables would turn out but it was great. My husband didn't know that I made it from a mix and said I should package it up and sell it! It's made by Frontier soups. I bought it through the King Arthur website. It has only 10mg of salt per serving in the mix so if you use unsalted chicken broth it stays very low sodium. It said to add the chicken with the dehydrated vegetables and cook for 30 minutes but I waiting until it was almost ready and then added the already cooked chicken.

@jakedduck1 I wish we had thought about dry ice when our freezer died last month. We had to throw away two giant trash bags of food. It was almost impossible to buy a freezer. Some of the stores couldn't get one until August but we found the last one, bigger than we wanted, in a fairly local Lowe's. Unfortunately, it took a few days to get it so that was why everything went bad. I had 8 pints of Ben and Jerry's and Hagen Daaz ice cream that I had on hand for when my daughter and her husband visit, 5 were unopened.

Hi contentandwell
You tossed Ben and Jerry’s, and Haagen-daz ice cream out, that is a ice cream cone sin.
No neighbor/ friend could help store your food.
When we had no power for 7-8 days because all the power lines burned down, a wise. Neighbor called a dry ice company. They came every few days.by day 10 Had to go and get 3 lb bags of ice. Sorry you lost so much food.
I still keep one large bag in the freezer at all times. I do not trust Edison electric.
Even a regular power failure can take its toll on refrigerator/freezer items.
Take care,
Funcountess
