Welcome, Katie. I make up most of my recipes or adapt/modify them from interesting recipes I find in cookbooks or on the web. The Trying Low Oxalates Yahoo Group and Facebook Group are both good resources for recipes. The Yahoo group is also the place you'll want to go to get your up-to-date and relatively comprehensive food list. The VP Foundation published a low oxalate cookbook about 8 years back that is very useful if you follow a standard American diet and eat wheat. If you are gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, Paleo etc. you probably will do better just searching the web and the above resources for recipes. All of the links for the cookbook and groups are on my resources page.

I have just had to start a low oxalate diet. It is so daunting to me seeing all the things I can’t eat. It is so hard finding recipes that are low oxalate. Do you have a cookbook that you use or a place that you get your recipes. Any thing you could tell me would be a huge help. Thanks

[…] 1.) The Count and Measure Approach – This is a great approach to the low oxalate diet for people who want to make sure that they are getting 40 – 60 mg. of oxalate each day. People who use this approach often measure the food they eat and keep a running log of its oxalate content. This lets them know how much oxalate they’ve eaten during the day and how much oxalate they have left. The count and measure approach to the low oxalate diet may be especially attractive to people who have had success or understand the process of counting calories, since it is very similar. It also appeals to scientifically-minded people and people who tend to cheat or accidentally eat too much oxalate if they don’t keep track. This approach to the low oxalate diet may also be a good “occasional strategy” to make sure you are reaching your oxalate goals. I go back to this approach every once in a while to keep myself honest (see Serving the Low Oxalate Diet Family Style). […]
