Corn on the cob
Steamed rice
The Dude Recommends:
Experiment with the brand of cola you use. Coke Zero suits me just fine — especially since I already have it on hand! But find which diet cola tastes best for you.
Healthful Hint:
If sodium is a concern, use low-sodium ketchup
Reminder:
Never eat anything that your doctor has prohibited from your diet, or to which you have an allergy or intolerance.
