Kidney Diet Tips

Today's Kidney Diet Cookbook: Hearty Winter Dishes

When it’s cold outside, warm up inside with recipes from the Today’s Kidney winter-cookbook-coverDiet: Hearty Winter Dishes cookbook. Sit by the fireside and enjoy 16 toasty recipes, plus tips on cold-busting foods, seasonable winter produce and eating sensibly at holiday parties.

Each recipe is modified to reduce sodium, potassium and phosphorus. One of my favorite appetizer recipes is Artichoke Relish on Toasted Pita. It’s lower in sodium compared to most appetizers. Plus one serving provides a half-portion of vegetables! Another favorite for pot-luck holiday celebrations is Lemony Couscous Salad with Cranberries. This dish serves 10 people, features 3 low-potassium vegetables and dried cranberries for a bit of tart and sweet.

In addition to recipes and tips you’ll find a Health Eating Checklist for the New Year. Use it to help focus on eating healthy on a kidney diet in 2017.
