Smith Hoke Health Center When reducing the sodium con tent of your diet, you may find the preparation of soups and sauces one of your biggest challenges. This is especially true since canned, dried and . frozen soups or soup mixes are among the saltiest con vience foods available. However, there are tasty alternatives. Broths or soups should be prepared without adding salt, regular bouillon cubes or prepared flavoring packets. Instead, use un salted bouillon cubes or the follow ing recipe. You can remove the fat from homemade soup by preparing it a day in advance and chilling it over night in the refrigerator. When you do this, you are allowing the fat to rise to the top and harden, making it easy to remove. If you ean'i prepare the broth in advance, the next best technique is to skim off as much fat as possible with a large spoon. Remove the re maining fat by floating a paper towel on top of the hot soup and removing it when the fat is absorb ed. Then you may add vegetables, macaroni, or rice to the broth. You can make cream soups, chowders and sauces from a basic white sauce of Hour, margarine and skim milk, omitting salt. Many kinds of soups may be prepared by adding pureed or chopped vegetables, seafood and your favorite herbs and spices to the basic white sauce. Soup can be topped with lemon slices, low-fat yogurt, chopped onions or chives or a sprinkle of herbs. Soup can also be accom panied by soda crackers without salt sprinkled on top, unsalted pretzles or toast strips. For tomato sauces, you may wish to use the following recipe or you can use fresh or canned tomatoes, unsalted tomato paste or unsalted tomato puree as a base with other seasonings in place of salt.

On The Front Burner Ellen S. Willis Home Economics Extension PREPARE CHILDREN FOR KINDERGARTEN Children enter kindergarten with feelings that range all the way from sheer excitement to aboslute fear^ But children who are prepared for school have a better change of working through these feelings and gaining self-confidence than do children who haven't been prepared. So do all you can to help your child get ready for kindergarten. Keep in mind that when your youngster goes to school, he'll take all of his experiences with him. So give him opportunities for gaining self-confidence, learning new ideas, trying new activities, and listening and sharing. Also encourage your pre kindergartener to accept mistakes and disappointments. This is an important part of growing up and learning to be with other children. One of the important things your child can learn during the ear ly years is that he's OK. It's only when your child learns to accept himself that he will learn to accept others. There are some additional things vou can do to help your child get ready for his kindergarten ex- * periences: You can take your child on a visit to the school, school grounds and play yard. Also let him spend some time with an adult relative or neighbor. That way he can get used to doing some things without having you nearby.
