Cancer recipes for my Father to eat during his challenging time.
Cancer recipes–can it make a difference what you eat while going through treatment? My Dad is my hero-he had larynx cancer 15 years ago and has to speak with an artificial larynx. He talks so much he usually goes through two batteries daily. (You can see his artificial larynx around his neck-the way he communicates). He was the inspiration for my cookbook, Eating Well Through Cancer:Easy Recipes & Tips to Guide you Through Treatment and Cancer Prevention and now my new Spanish edition, Alimentándose bien durante el cancer as he enjoys food as much as I do. There are foods that are better tolerated and ease the symptoms so my goal was to show you those cancer recipes with foods to make going through treatment easier. Best of all about this book besides all the great information to questions most often asked, you will find recipes that will work for the patient, family and caregiver!

Terrific Tidbit: I like using Greek yogurt as it is richer, and creamer. If you feel better, you can add condiments such as green onions, turkey bacon or cheese
Nutritional Nugget: Greek yogurt is higher in calcium than plain yogurt.
