Happy World Kidney Day! I hope you are celebrating this day by loving your kidneys just a little bit more. I have talked in previous posts about soaking vegetables to leach potassium, and boiling meats to decrease phosphorus. Today, I am going to discuss some actual studies that show that different cooking methods can help […]
Read MoreWelcome back! I have not done a Portion Distortion post in a while. Follow me on Pinterest. So, I thought today I would focus on the humble potato. Potatoes are a powerhouse of nutrition. Now, I know you are going to say they are very high in potassium, so not good for CKD, and they […]
Read MoreBefore I begin I want to explain my Dollar Tree Food Challenge. I have been watching different food challenges on Youtube. It is obvious you can eat at Dollar Tree. For my challenge I wanted to compare two different foods and the nutritional value, as well as taste and over all value. I am unsure […]
Read MoreBelow I will share a link to a delicious roasted rosemary radish recipe. I have tried this recipe and it is delicious. It fits perfectly into my Rosemary Challenge for the month of November.

At any rate, this week for Mindful Monday I am sharing another portion distortion food plate. As I continue to teach my husband, and myself about […]
Read MoreThis week has been an interesting week. We did not follow the menu exactly due to some food preferences, and dislike of some of the choices I made. At any rate, I will go over each meal and how I made them more CKD friendly. Some of these we have not eaten yet, as the […]
Read MoreSo, I have decided to make my Foodie Friday posts about how I make my family meal plan more kidney-friendly for me. Sometimes I don’t have to change much, but other meals I modify quite a bit for me. I don’t expect my family to give up all the things they love just because I […]
Read MoreIf you read this blog then you know I am stage 3A, stable and want to keep it that way. I would actually be thrilled to be stage 2 again, but doctors discourage that thought. Starting with Halloween begins the holiday seasons of stressful parties, eating, over-eating, and not feeling well. It doesn’t have to […]
