Nightshades. Deadly?

The Nightshades family includes potatoes, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, and a few other favourites. Nightshades are yummy but they have a dark-side; they have been connected to inflammatory disorders and pain! If you suffer from joint pain it might be a good idea to avoid Nightshades.

We will be presenting recipes that do not include any nightshades. Be sure to look at the notes at the bottom of the recipe to see what's included.
