Looking for Delicious Recipes

I'm stuck in a rut when it comes to food. I need some new, delicious recipe ideas. I have high blood pressure so preferably low-sodium ones. I also don't eat a lot of fish or seafood... other than that, I'm not picky.

    I always find inspiration from blogs. You can always take a recipe you like and tailor it to your needs and/or likes. I've really been digging skinnyfork.com the past few days. I've made three of the recipes already (Japanese broth, crock pot pork, and Hawaiian slaw) and they've turned out great.

    Less salt does meant to cut the taste,but with the less salt we can add more flavour too.

    The Hairy Bikers' Diet books are great and have some absolutely wonderful recipes in. I'm making the chicken korma tomorrow, from the leftover chicken from this evening's roast.
