Anti-Cancer Diet: Recipes!

Hello Ladies, LOVELY receipes above, cant wait to copy some!!  Im wondering if anyone has heard of SOURSOP? and where can it be bought?  Is it really an anticancer fruit, I hear raving things about it but wonder, if it really is anticancer then why isnt it used?  Also, where can I find Quinoa?

Thank you!

I was making zucchini "lasagna" last week & wanted a meat substitute for the filling. No exact measurements....but made this up on my own. Very quick and easy.

Make quinoa to equal 1 cup.

Chopped leek (or small onion) & garlic softened in skillet with evoo - add cubed eggplant (medium size was used) and cover to cook. I stir & check softness of eggplant. When eggplant softens add 1 can of crushed/diced tomatoes. I had a really good can of whole tomatoes & hand crushed them. Cook until eggplant is thoroughly cooked. Add quinoa. Cumin to taste. I also threw in some fresh Basil from my garden. And a. Dash of salt n pepper.

I ate this alone too. But with the zucchini and a single layer of ricotta mixed with fresh parm n a little mozzerella- was like ratatouile casserole.

B I haven't had any gastric issues with quinoa. I know what you mean about the flax. I'll look for soursop next time I'm at wholefoods. Have to return because they were out of chia seeds last time I was there.

Chia seeds can be added much like flax to foods smoothies etc. Good source of omega 3, fiber & antioxidant. I am not a vegetarian but eat meat & fish sparingly. In fact I haven't eaten any animal products for the last month other than Greek yogurt, ricotta, a few eggs & a little bit of cheese. So I am trying to find good natural food sources for protein and nutrients other than meat products. I will be starting Tamoxifen at months end & also trying to shed a few pounds prior to my start date. Don't wanna be a fanatic but really trying to Tweek my diet for over all health. Love these recipes. I am going to make the soya sauce today too! I do feel better. Good energy return since surgery 3 months ago & down almost 10 #.

Post it munition! Have tons of my tomatoes to use & just bought eggplant! My 2 favorites!!!!!!

Ty mumito! Somehow my Kindle autocorrected your username as munition. Lol. B123 I could not find soursops at Wholefoods. However, There is one closer to my home that I will stop in. I stopped at the one near my workplace today& doncha know......no chia seeds either. Nor did this one have my Greekgods yogurt. Really striking out except they had avocados & limes for a good price. Going to have to dig up the avocado/ cilantro dressing recipe out & share.

Solt. I do the same as you with the simple pasta topping. I often use spaghetti squash as a pasta substitute.

I am sure you can buy chia seeds at wegmans

Wow! This is the 1st time I found this topic. I will be back.



I really miss soy sauce. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I found when I was on AIs it made me crave foods and I ate more... Eat more veggies, keep up protein - beans, eggs etc.. and walk at least 30 minutes a day - That is what my Onc Nutritionist told me.. Problem is I'm still not walking enough.. I hear what you are saying B123, I have managed to lose since I started looking at my portions and eating lots of coleslaw .  I'm hoping others will chime in so I get more ideas!

B123 Unfortunately, I'm not the one to talk about the SE's of Arimidex.. My SEs were so bad the ONC took me off of it within 2 weeks of starting.. I told him I would at least like to TRY it for a month.. he said no.. I tried Arimidex twice.. both times off by the 2nd week per Oncs orders.. At this point, I have to do anti cance/estrogen foods to keep the estrogen away.. But through all this I want to clarify something... it isn't SEs CAUSED by the Arimidex... my SEs were the lack of estrogen.. I just need my estrogen I think.. or at least a little of it.. you take it all away and I get very sick..

For a Steel Cut Oatmeal cooking tip.

To expedite it for the mornings, do the steps at night by boiling the water and stir in the oatmeal. Then turn off the heat altogether and cover overnight.

In the morning, simply heat it up and you're ready to go.

I have been on Tamox for over 3 years did not gain weight on it but had to really watch and reduce my calorie intake.I exercise every second day and eat alot of veggies,whole grains,and small amounts of chicken and fish.Almost no red meat.I have lost 14 lbs since I started tamox but it takes alot of self control.I still indulge in a nice glass of red wine but not as often as I used to.I also cut white food like sugar and anything with wht flour.So no deserts except fresh fruit.My indulgence foodis a good cheese.Just do not eat too much.My MO said that I am doing really well because most woman gain average 20lbson tamox.

Mum into ... You are right about the weight because I would guess 20 pounds is tamoxifen. How good is your memory? When we were at lunch we talked about a recipe .. Maybe a quinoa one. Can you repost here if you can remember. Also thanks for the tips about eating... I need a good swift kick somewhere to get me moving.

I am not sure where to ask this question but I will ask it here. What is a good alternative to cheese? I am slowly changing mine and my 5 yr old daughters diet. We already eat pretty healthy, but there are a few things we need to improve on and cheese is one of them. So what would be a good alternative? TIA!
