Nice! You would win for sure! I tend to improvise most of the time when a recipe calls for something I don't have or don't want to buy. I am going to have to really improvise tonight because I don't think we have anything left to make but pantry items. I'm sure there will be pasta involved as usual! I'll have to see what that book is all about.

I end up improving often, but nothing major. The biggest ever was making tuna fish salad and learning that we had no mayo. That was how we wound up doing the mayo installment of from scratch weekends. We had the ingredients so we had to do an impromptu mayo experiment to make the tuna salad. Great idea with the veggies on the spaghetti squash. I have one I need to cook and was trying to think what I would put on top.

the last book i read was called Bringing Home the Birken. A very cutesy and light read. I recommend :)

I love the title of this post! :) So cute!

I hope that PKD/renal info helps. Phosphorus is tricky because literally, it's in EVERYTHING. Maybe research if PKD patients can take phosphorus binders (usually a calcium acetate) to bind the phos for excretion vs. absorption into the blood. Just thought of that. If they're on a phos binder, they can liberalize the phos restriction. Renal patients so often suffer from malnutrition that liberalizing is what RD's end up doing.

I am reading the Hunger Games right now...love it!

Sounds delicious! Sometimes improvisations are the best, although I can't think of a recent improvisation right now....Book recommendation-The Thirteenth Tale. I gave it to my friend to read and she loved it too. Happy reading!

Just found your blog. The Art of Racing in the Rain was a fabulous book. Have you read Still Alice or Left Neglected? These are both wonderful. Your pizza looks great too by the way.

thanks for the ideas!! I need to try out your pizza recipe. My niece & nephew love making pizza with me, but my niece is allergic to wheat, soy, eggs, peanuts, chicken, & shellfish, so it gets hard to find ingredients that don't interfere with her allergies. I can't wait to try this pizza!
Also, the last really good book I read was called Roses. It's big but easy & quick to read

Improvising is a great alternative to making a run to the drive through because you don't have the right ingredients for a meal. Chances are you do have something in your pantry that could constitute a meal.

Book recommendations: Just finished one called "Room" that was good. The author's last name is Donoghue.

Ooh, I love giving/getting book recommendations!

Have you ever read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks? It's really fascinating and well done and is probably more meaningful for anyone who is in the health biz.

i'm wondering when you're planning on taking the red eye bus to hang out with me.

....i'll wait for an answer and scream with joy when you do!

Just yesterday I whipped up some curried salmon salad and topped an avocado half with it. I thought it was yummy!

Latest favorite book? The Help, which probably doesn't help, since everyone seems to have already read it. Nonfiction: Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. Read it a long time ago, but still highly recommend it to my clients.
