No More Nightshades!

by Rebecca Reilly

Recipes to satisfy your cravings for the foods you once loved.

Some researchers believe that consumption of nightshades - a family of plants that includes white potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant - contributes to arthritis symptoms in certain sensitive people. If you’ve stricken these plants from your diet because your joints get achy when you ingest them, chances are you’ve been missing the standard “comfort foods” you once enjoyed, like mashed potatoes, tomato sauce and French fries. You may get wistful just thinking about all those tomato-rich Italian and Mexican dishes you used to down.

Letting go of beloved foods can be a challenge but help is on the way! These recipes bring back the good, old days of dining. Cozy comfort and tons of taste–without the nightshades! No gluten or dairy either.

Here's a link to the recipes the Rebecca has adapted-

Try the  "Marinara Sauce" without tomatoes, the Roasted Garlic "Mashed Potatoes" witthout potatoes, or the Tofu Parmesan without eggplant.

After I trial my nightshade sensitivity and if positive I may order the "Arthritis Free Cooking" book listed at the bottom of the page. For Canadian customers it is listed at $40.00 with $20.00 for shipping. 

My adventure to recoverying my health continues.
