Healthy Eating with Cancerwife

I love to eat. Food delights me.

Even when I stayed in the hospital for chemo, I looked forward to each meal and snack. Some of the hospital food was not that great, but I found some appetizing items!

I cooked apples and raisins along with the steel cut oatmeal to make this a delicious complete breakfast.

Chicken, spinach and pasta - from raw to cooked in only one pot! Does it sound too good to be true? Did I tell you there's also no cutting involved either? This delicious dish is ready from start to finish in 30 minutes or less!

Bak Kut Teh is a meaty soup with deep herbal flavors. It usually takes hours of slow cooking to make the meat tender and for the flavors of the garlic and shitake mushrooms to come out.

One Pot Instant Pot Beef Ragu Pasta

CancerWife — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 02:19:04 +0000

I like making pasta, but waiting for the pasta to cook on the stove is quite time consuming. I wondered if it would ever be possible to make a one pot pasta dish, from dried pasta and raw meat, without having to look after boiling pots on the stove?
