Being who I am, it makes sense that one of the ways I am preparing to tackle cancer is though food. My friend Tirza just sent me a wonderful cookbook -- The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen: Nourishing, Big-Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Recovery. The author, Rebecca Katz, takes a whole-foods approach that fundamentally resonates with my values around food.Of course I have no plans to simply subscribe entirely to one food philosophy. However, based on a composite of information (including friends experiences, meeting with a nutritionist, etc.) I do plan to make some dietary shifts to both boost my immune system and manage the eventual side effects of treatment. Likely this will be fewer carbs and sugars and (believe it or not) more meat -- especially broths.
The new list on the right bar of this page is a place where I will simply list recent meals. I like the idea of sharing the creative and delicious things we are concocting as well as keeping a record for myself.
