Welcome!

We are two chicks who decided to share some fun with food!
We plan on choosing some recipes and having a bit of fun with them! Sara will make the original recipe and maybe have some low-fat options and I, Dawn will take the recipe and tweak it if I can to become kidney and diabetic friendly (because, yes, I am both diabetic-type 2 and have PKD). Hopefully we will share some delicious and healthier versions of our recipes!

Dawn's Version of Mexican Seafood Soup

Original Recipe: Mexican Seafood Soup

I used pre-cooked lobsters...

and pre-cooked snow crab legs

a lot of work and mess for a little bit of meat ;)
and even more work for a little bit of lobster meat ;)
more work taking the tails off of the pre-cooked shrimp (I just use it because it is affordable)
cooking down the garlic, olive oil, onion and tomatoes
and the finished result...

worth every bit of the work to make!!! :D

"a bowl of heaven"

this is a quite expensive little soup so is not something I will make often 
but I absolutely enjoyed it and was quite happy to find that everyone else did too! :)
Good CALL! :)








Dawn's Version of Avocado and Egg

Original Recipe: Avocado and Egg


I did try this one but I have a weird thing with textures 
and I dd not care for the texture of baked avocado :S

But it IS easy and healthy so I suggest you try it and make your own decision!! ;)

Dawn's Version of Foil Bag Surprise

Original Recipe: Foil Bag Surprise

The substitution I made to this recipe was using Italian (mild) sausage and a red pepper (because we've found it bothers hubby's tummy less and it is one of the 15 foods excellent for kidneys).
I DID use salt and pepper but you CAN and should use a NO salt spice blend in order to make it kidney friendly...AND soak the hash browns previous to use.

;) DELICIOUS a definite make again!

Holy Hannah!

It is the middle of August already!
Time is just flying by and it's been a very exciting and busy summer!
A week or so ago I made a foil pack for camping which I've decided will be our August LUNCH because it was quite tasty and I will do it again! ;)
At the end of the month we'll have a party for my birthday and I'm going to make Mexican Seafood Soup to share with my friends and family so it's going to be the August SUPPER recipe.
I challenge my chickie (that's Sara) to come up with an easy BREAKFAST recipe we can use for August! ;)
THEN hopefully the kids will get back in school and we'll get back to a slower routine! :)
