Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
If you're on a kidney diet, typically, Italian sauces should be used in small quantities because they can be high in sodium, phosphorus and potassium. If you're at a restaurant, order the sauce on the side, if possible, but be advised that many Italian restaurants already have their sauce and pastas mixed. A good choice would be salad, bread and a very plain pasta, such as one served in garlic and butter. Pizza is usually salty and high in potassium and phosphorus. If you eat pizza, eat one slice and supplement with a small salad. A pizza with hamburger, green pepper and/or onions would be preferable to a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, olives, anchovies and/or extra cheese.
My niece informed my mother" no more pancakes for gram." LOL.
Supper Club will be starting up again!
I had a haddock sandwich and lemon with potato salad takeout for dinner.
Made a beef stew last night. It passed inspection, but I did not really like it.
Will try a different recipe another day, using my pressure cooker.
There is salad to make fresh, but I don't want to.
It was 92 degrees here today.
We are having roast beef hash, with loads of mushrooms and onions, with a ceasar salad. Just love the homemade ceasar dressing.
I live in the desert southwest and we will be done with gardening before other areas really get started. Spinach is a winter vegetable here😀 but, fresh is so delish you can not hardly eat the stuff from the store afterwards.
My precious husband built me 5 raised beds for my birthday and I have been experimenting with what I can grow. I am super happy but, it has been an odd year here, very warm all winter, so lettuce and such just bolted. I am hoping that my watermelon and cantaloupe do well. Those are about the only thing that grows during our hot summer. Maybe some peppers if you shade them.
Nothing tastes as good as freshly harvested veggies and fruit.
