Food

 Hi Everyone!

Do you eat breakfast? It's not my favorite meal of the day but I have to eat something in order to take my herbs and vitamins. This AM I had scrambled eggs mixed with hash browns. It's fast and easy. 

 

Dinner is more my meal. 

 

 Now you might think this is NOT a kidney friendly dinner, but it is.

I used very lean ground beef, double boiled the potatoes and stove top asparagus.

Red potatoes from my garden 

I did peal them. 

I boiled them until they were not quite done. Then put them under cold water to rinse off and then soak in cold water while I cooked the asparagus. This helps to reduce the potassium.

Asparagus with my homemade ghee and fresh dill from the garden. 

Everything came together and it was a great meal that both of us could enjoy.

Everything came under Mr. M's allotted protein, potassium and phosphorus. 

Mr. M's been doing so well on his food choices that I broke down on Saturday and made this for him. Totally off the chart for him. But, even the dietitian said you have to have a treat once in a while.

No he didn't get the entire pizza. LOL

Have you noticed that I have been cooking on a butane stove? I started this about 6 months ago to save on my electric bill. My electric stove is horrible for the bill. Right away I noticed a big difference. Like a $30.00 difference. The stove was inexpensive and the butane is so much cheaper than electric. Plus........ I love cooking with fire. Mr. M. wants me to get another stove and I might just do it.

What have your meals been lately? Do you cook with gas or electric?

Let me know in the comments.

Have a great day today.
