Happy to be here, desperate for recipes, my husband is blind, facing dialysis
soon (kidneys are failing) we have been told we still have a chance to slow down
the process by him eating a more healthy diet and cutting back on some fluids.
Can anyone help with diets with low salt, potassium, and anything else that will
hurt the kidney function? Leah

From www.lifescript.com and FoodFit
The Greek city of Corinth may not be as popular a Mediterranean
vacation spot as Athens or Venice, but currant lovers owe the

Serves: 8
Preparation time: 20 minutes
