Renal Friendly Foods

[LarryG]

 It is the holidays in some places. Thinking about renal friendly foods. Everytime at Thanksgiving our in center would have stringent rules about what to eat and not to eat during the holidays. We did find some pretty good desserts in some of the renal cookbooks. A cranberry upside-down cake that was excellent. Anyone want to share a favorite renal friendly food or recipe?
