Watch FamilyCook’s Director of Nutrition, Mercedes Sanchez, make corn tortillas at home – you can do it too! Packaged corn tortillas can be found in most grocery stores, but homemade ones are far superior in taste and texture. On top of that, you avoid the added phosphates from packaged ones.
El cuidado y dedicación que ponemos al hacer las tortillas de maíz en casa supera las tortillas comerciales en sabor y textura. Además, no evita de absorber y filtrar los fosfatos y otros conservantes agregados de los empaquetados.
The Kidney Kitchen Pro meal plan features makes it easy to collect and share a week-long meal plan featuring Kidney Kitchen recipes and other kidney-friendly foods. You can customize the meal plans based on a patient’s eating habits, preferences and any restrictions. You can even include both shared notes that are visible on the meal plan or private notes that only you have the ability to access. The meal plans you create can be saved, shared via email and printed.
How to Create a Meal Plan
From Kidney Kitchen Pro, click “Create a meal plan.” From here, take the following steps:
Meal plan name: Give your custom meal plan a name so you remember who or what it is for. Make sure your meal plan is descriptive as you’ll have the ability to add the custom meal plans to toolkits that you can access later or share directly with others.
Select recipes or food: For each meal/snack each day, you can add a Kidney Kitchen recipe(s) from the dropdown menus. If you are not familiar with the recipes, you can learn more about each recipe “Find recipes” from the Kidney Kitchen Pro dashboard. You can add a recipe to an existing meal plan by clicking “Add to meal plan” to add them to a specific meal plan.
Share notes: If you plan on sending this meal plan to another person, you can add a special note in this section.
Private notes: If you want to note something that should only be visible to you, this is where you add it.
Once you’ve created your meal plan, click “Create meal plan” to save it. If you are logged in to Kidney Kitchen Pro, you can access your custom meal plans at any time. Click on the meal plan to access the content and to share and print it for others.
How Toolkits Work
Toolkits offer an easy way to collect and share Kidney Kitchen resources with those you serve and their families. You can build toolkits that include customized meal plans, resources, guides, lists, videos, webinars and personalized notes. You can even include private notes on the toolkit that only you have the ability to access. Toolkits can be customized for each patient or you can create toolkits based on topic (example: dialysis vs. non-dialysis nutrition). The toolkits you create can be saved, shared via email and printed.
How to Create a Toolkit
From Kidney Kitchen Pro, click “Create a toolkit.” From there, take the following steps:
Toolkit name: Give your custom toolkit a name so you remember who or what it is for.
Meal plans: If you’ve created custom meals plans previously in Kidney Kitchen Pro, you can add those custom meals plans to the toolkits.
Resources: From the dropdown menu, you can select any of Kidney Kitchen’s resource guides, videos or webinar. You can select more than 1 at a time.
Share notes: If you plan on sending this toolkit to another person, you can add a special note in this section.
Private notes: If you want to note something that should only be visible to you, this is where you add it.
Once you’ve created your toolkit, click “Create toolkit” to save it. If you are logged in to Kidney Kitchen Pro, you can access your custom toolkits at any time. Click on the toolkit to access the content and to share and print it for others.
