What I like is that these are everyday condiments that cost a bit of money at the store. You can control the sodium and sugars also.

Each recipe starts with a title, medium size color photo and  List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low fat, low sodium, low sugar and fresh vs canned items.
