No More Nightshades

Recipes to satisfy your cravings for the foods you once loved

by Rebecca Reilly
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!

The following recipes are included in this article:
  • "Marinara" Sauce
  • Roasted Garlic "Mashed Potatoes"
  • Six-Layer Mexican Dip
  • Mashed Black Beans
  • Mango Nectarine Salsa
  • Tofu Parmesan
  • Guacamole
  • Sweet Potato Oven Fries
  • Corn and Sweet Potato Chowder
