At Project Angel Heart, we prepare and modify meals every day for neighbors with complex dietary needs. Many have weakened or failing kidneys, which means they must limit their intake of minerals like potassium and phosphorous. In this recipe, we replace tomatoes — which are high in potassium — with roasted red peppers to create…
Too much sodium can raise blood pressure, putting extra stress on our hearts, arteries, and kidneys. But making food that’s low in sodium and still big on flavor can be challenging. Here are some tips and tricks you can use to make a low-sodium soup that’s still delicious. LOW SODIUM stock is the way to…
I love making this sauce because it’s so versatile. It works well as a marinade for chicken or beef, but you can also use it as a dipping sauce for skewers, dumplings, or potstickers. At Project Angel Heart, we serve it with a ginger spiced chicken breast and rice. I hope you enjoy! Yield: 3-4…

When fall hits and the weather starts to cool off a little bit, this is one of my favorite things to make at home. Onion marmalade is very versatile — it has a balance of sweet and savory that makes it enjoyable with a variety of foods. From fish and potatoes to meat and creamy…
We often only see wild rice served three ways: in a soup, as a salad, and as a side grain. But there is so much more we can do with it. Wild rice has a robust, toasty flavor along with a strong texture that support much more creative recipes. From savory fritters to sweet custards,…
This recipe is one of my favorite seafood dishes we serve. Curry and vindaloo spices and sauces are often paired with beef, chicken, or even lamb. While it works well with those proteins, we have found that bold flavors with a light, flaky fish are just as delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much…
This is a very simple recipe for one of my favorite sauces, especially during the summer. This recipe is a version that we make for our clients, so we omit both cheese and nuts. I know that sounds crazy when it comes to pesto, but I promise it is still delicious. If you want, you…
