CKD Meals & Recipe Collection by Members

Posted by nscappa @nscappa, Aug 31, 2022

Hello All,
I am really getting bored with eating primarily veggies so much. There must be some easy recipes out there and if you have any I would so appreciate anything you can suggest or even a book with easy recipes. I did purchase a renal diet cookbook, but most of the meals needed too many ingredients and I am NOT a cook per se. HELP!

Hello. This is my food intake plan for both my stage 3a CKD as well as my peripheral neuropathy. This is my blueprint. It can easily be adjusted. I hope someone finds this useful. John Mac

Interesting. I love that you've included Beer! My problem is trying to figure out just what to make for dinner that will be both healthy and acceptable to my husband. Does anyone have any great dinner entree suggestions?

I believe the best book for CKD patients or prospective patients is

Well, I rotate chicken fish, turkey, pot pies, spaghetti sometimes and red meat once or twice a month. So far so good for me.

@nscappa, you're not alone. Finding CKD friendly meals and easy(!) recipes can be challenging. I took the liberty of modifying the title of this discussion to focus its purpose on sharing recipes and simple meals for people living with CKD.

I'll kick things off with sharing the cookbooks that @kamama94 has written and kindly shared PDFs of her draft versions.

Additionally, members have shared these resources:
- National Kidney Foundation information about healthy diets and meal plans: https://www.kidney.org/nutrition

- DaVita Kidney Care an excellent resource for recipes and tips: https://www.davita.com/diet-nutrition

I came across this cookbook - recipes seem like they have items on hand and not too fussy.
