Description

Hi friends, thanks for visiting our blog. We thought we might share a little bit about what we do!

 

Jacqui and Brian work in the medical field while raising our 1 yr. old, Ava. In our spare time, we have been working on getting a private medical nutritional therapy counseling service that focuses on helping people with kidney disease stages 3 and 4. These stages are considered to be pre-dialysis. Stage 5 means dialysis for many people with less than 15% of their remaining kidney function. Kidney RD's focus is to help our patients treat the symptoms of uremia, which is the build up of toxins, and the side effects of declining kidney function. These efforts may prolong the necessity of dialysis initiation for some time in many patients. Our aim is to educate our patients and promote them to make kidney friendly dietary and lifestyle changes.

 

The more you know about any disease that you may be burdened with the more likely of increasing your years of survival. The kidney diet is often looked at as what we like to describe as "ugly." After ten years of counseling dialysis patients, we have found that this is certainly not true!

 

We hope to post more and more creations as we cooked at home all the time. If anyone reading this blog wants to know more about our counseling service, please visit the below link and our Facebook page under Kidney RD's. We hope to hear what people want us to make next that is kidney friendly!

This is a London broil pita sandwich. It is quick, easy, kidney friendly, and tasty!

 

Simply grill the steak and cut at an angle into strips after letting it cool on a cutting board for ten minutes. Cut up bell pepper and onions and sauté in a little butter or we use smart balance. Heat up the pita in a toaster over and put steak, a little shredded part skim mozzarella cheese (this is a lower phosphorus cheese), then peppers/onions, then drizzle with a little horseradish sauce (1 T. Lite mayo, dash Worcestershire - We can't say it either!, 1tsp. - 1T. Fresh granulated or finely shredded horseradish, a little black pepper). Omit or add less pepperoncino peppers to cut back on salt.

 

Try a cranberry grape spritzer with your sandwich! Fill a glass with ice, fill until almost full with your favorite mineral water (we like Perrier), then top with 1-2 oz. cranberry-concord grape 100% juice.
