I have a question about the Pasta Carbonara - I know that traditionally Pasta Carbonara is made with bacon, butter, eggs and milk.  Could I add some butter to when making recipe to give it a different mouth feel?  I am thinking that just a tsp of butter along with the milk might make for a richer sauce.

Thanks for those links, HPS!  I have looked at the Davita site which I think is quite good.  I'll have to take the time to look at some of the others, too.  I'm just rather lazy.  My general strategy is to avoid entirely the most heinous foods and to just have smaller portions of everything else.  That way I don't have to think too much.   So far this has served me fairly well, but I really should be more fastidious.  But I will certainly spend the time to better organize myself based on the links you provided; thanks again.

Rain, I'm gonna go subscribe right now! 

PS...I'm not sure about the "Paste" with Egg, though!  LOL!

YAY! Another Kidney Recipe Blog! Now I have someone to talk to about it. I run one called Dining on Dialysis. http://diningondialysis.wordpress.com

I added you to my links section, by the way.

[MooseMom]

To both Rain and pagandialysis, thank you both so much for the work you have done on your renal diet recipe blogs!  I have a request.  I would love a recipe for a renally friendly soup.  I could probably come up with something myself, but I just don't have the time nor the overriding interest and energy, so I'm going to be lazy and ask that you do the work for me!  I like just about everything but fennel and/or cloves .  I like "creamy" soups and I like brothy soups; I'm not fussed.

Thank you!

I have a creamy soup you might like: Cream of Crab. Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter; 1/2 medium onion, chopped; 1/2 lb imitation crabmeat, shredded; 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth; 1 cup nondairy coffee creamer; 2 Tablespoons cornstarch; 1/8 teaspoon dillweed  Directions: Melt butter in a large cooking pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft. Add crabmeat and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Combine coffee creamer and cornstarch in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Add to soup and increase heat to moderate, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Stir in dill.  Serves 10  1 cup per serving. Calories: 87; Carbohydrates: 7; Protein: 4;  Fat: 5;  Sodium: 241;  Potassium: 80;  Phosphorus: 82  Enjoy!

Oh, thanks for that, CebuShan!  I'll try that!

[Rain]

I have a recipe on how to make chicken broth coming up on a future post in February I think.  I set it up to post weekly, since I don't have enough posts for 3 times a week.

But for soup  I just make egg drop soup. 

Heat broth, add egg, stir.. for 1 minute.. and eat.
I will try to think of something.

[CebuShan]

I love egg drop soup! I usually add some chives or green onions.

[Rain]

I did some searching and found a recipe similar to the ones I tried in the past.

I was watching Alton Brown's Good Eats a few years ago on the Cooking network and learned how to make the richest chicken broth.  You roast or rotisserie your whole chicken using whatever spices you would use. 

Take all the good meat off and toss the bones and skin in a crock pot and cook for 24 hours.   Cooking it that long gets all the good flavors from the inside of the bones.  You strain it and freeze the broth.  I have some freezer jars that are one cup size and just take what I need as needed.   You can take what's left after straining and feed it to your dogs and cats.  The bones are not brittle, you can crush them between your fingers they are so soft.  My critters love it.

I don't add salt when I cook so it's never been an issue.

Riverwhispering,

yes i have to agree the longer you cook the richer it gets.  I usually cook in my slow cooker any where between 12-16 hours, just cause by then the smell is too much.  I usually start it at night and I have been woken up numerous times hungry and smelling chicken..

MooseMom,
I will have something posted in week, for a lovely beef recipe.

[pagandialysis]

Never thought about making soup. You know the whole fluid intake and all. I will look into that then.

Since I missed your request, here is something SUPER simple you can make: http://diningondialysis.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/tapioca-pudding/

[Riverwhispering]

Rain I just came on board to the Kidney Kitchen.  I like it a lot when you have the potassium and phosphorous amount with the recipes because right now I'm not on phosphorous binders yet and haven't started dialysis.  My GFR is in the 11/12 range and I've become very anal about my phosphorous intake because it was higher then normal and I have gotten it back in the normal range.   Thanks so much for doing this for us.

No problem. 

Sorry I haven't updated this week, I'm really busy with other stuff, I will try to post the recipe for the soup, it got the idea from a Korean soup recipe.

[Rain]

I posted the recipe for the Beef Noodle Soup at the Healthy Kidney Kitchen.  I hope it's they type of recipe you are looking for.

Okay I need everyone's input.  What type of recipes would you like to see on the blog.  I may have time in the next couple weeks to try new recipes.  So ideas would be great.    Here are the following catagories that I could post.

Eggs
Desserts
Breakfast
Beverages

Is there anything you are looking for a substitue for a favourite recipe you loved pre dialysis that you want me to come up with a dialysis friendly recipe.  I am looking for a challenge.

I could has use some input for reader recipes.  So if you have a favourite recipe submit it via the blog  to share with others.

[CebuShan]

I love salsa! Has there been a recipe posted for salsa? I usually grow my own ingredients.

[Rain]

CebuShan, Could it be a non tomato salsa?  I'm allergic to tomatos .
