Something's Got To Taste Good
The Cancer Patient's Cookbook
By Joan Fishman, R.D., M.S., and Barbara Anrod
Book is out-of-print so I have posted a few of my dad's favorites.
Sesame Crisps
(One Slice: 200 calories, 4 grams protein)
2 slices (1-inch thick) French or Italian bread
2 Tb. melted butter or magarine
3 Tb. grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tb. sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 400 or use a toaster oven. Brush bread with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese and top with sesame seeds. Transfer to a baking sheet. Toast at 400 for about 5 minutes or until butter begins to bubble and cheese is melted. Serve as a snack between meals or with soup.
Nougats
(One-inch-square nougat: 75 calories, 3 grams protein)
Makes 12 nougats. Really does taste good.
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup dried milk powder
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
Blend peanut butter and honey in a small bowl. In a separate small bowl mix milk powder and wheat germ together and gradually stir dry mixture into peanut butter-honey mixture. Turn onto waxed paper and knead until well blended. Pat down until 1/2-inch thick and cut into 1-inch squares. This can be chilled in the refrigerator for a firmer product. Store in a covered container.
Trail Mix
(One-half cup: 435 calories, 13 grams protein)
Makes 3 cups.
1 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 cup peanuts
Mix well. Store in plastic bags or airtight containers.
Peanut Butter Sandwich, add bacon bits
Peanut Butter Muffins
(One muffin: 206 calories, 8 grams protein)
Makes 6 muffins.
1/3 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup flour
3 Tb. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350. Mix peanut butter, milk and egg together until smooth. Carefully fold in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Do not overmix ingredients. Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line tin with paper liners. Fill each cup 3/4 full with batter. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
