Foodie Fridays are always fun. Each week, we scour the internet for kidney-friendly recipes that are not only delicious but easy to prepare with readily available ingredients. We’ve found a great recipe series by Chef Duane, the chef for the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Kitchen.  Instead of using the traditional Italian Arborio rice, this recipe calls for black rice – something I thought might be difficult to find.  However, I was pleasantly surprised after a trip to @TraderJoes!  Awesome – okay, now how about the taste?  Black rice has a sort of earthy, nutty flavor like a more intense brown rice, but the texture is closer to white, especially in the glutinous varieties.  Its delicious and healthy.  Don’t be afraid to add your own favorite types of vegetables, too.  Find the recipe by clicking here.
