Cookbook for Jennifer/N4M

[Sue-Pillowcase lady]

Trouble is starting a cookbook of veggies recipes for Jennifer.  Here's what she needs:

 

Comment by TroubleonFire 2  Ladies, I need your help. I need receipes that are vegetables only. These are the restrictions for the receipes. No more sodium than 3-5%, there can not be any pasta, starch, no bread or potatoes or any kind of meat in the receipe. Jennifer has been diagnosed with Diabetes now, is on meds only. They put a port in on Tuesday this week. She is now getting chemo three times a week, which makes her pretty sick. She is having a difficult time finding receipes that her children can make for her so she can eat. I don't know why or understand why all the restrictions on her diet, other than they are planning on putting her on dialysis. And her body will not be able to process all the food she can no longer eat. Please, please help me. Also we need to send her cards and letters of encouragement to get her through this time she really needs the support. She has signed up for Chemo Angels yesterday and put me as her contact for that organization. For the new members, Jennifer is one of my best friends who is a Navy Mom, she has been battling cancer for almost 2 years now. She has Kidney cancer and Pancreas cancer, they have given her a 5 percent of survival rate for the next year to two years. She has hospice on standby. She basically no support from her immediate family, she only has us. Please, please is there some ladies out there that will be her Navy Mom Angels and write letters of encouragement and support, as well as send her little nick nacks that will cheer her up during her time that she has left. I will be forever in your debt. I would like to make her a cook book of her very own and have it printed and it be from all of her Navy Moms on the Heads at Ease project. Please if you have any questions please contact me through a PM and I will send you my email address and phone number. Thank You so much for listening to me. T

Cauliflower and Ricotta,

1 pkg frozen cauliflower

1 small container or ricotta cheese (part skimmed)

2 eggs

1/2 c parmesan cheese ( they make a low sodium version that works just fine)

In bowl mix eggs, cheese and ricotta cheese. Break cauliflower into small (but not too small) pieces and gently add to mix. Put into a baking dish. I use the square corning ones. Bake at 350* for 20 to 30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.You can also use broccoli if you like but the green color is a little strange. No salt is needed because you get some salty flavor from the parmesan cheese.

How about this one?

Split Pea Soup Kelly & Robin Heward

1 bag split peas, handful of dried or fresh minced carrots, minced onion, salt, pepper, celery salt, garlic to taste. Fill crock pot ¾ full of water after all ingredients are in. Cook on High for 3-4 hours or until tender. If you want creamy soup, add milk or canned milk in the last 15 minutes.

Trouble, I am the world's worst cook, so I don't have any recipes to offer.  But she is in my prayers.  I have an address that you gave me awhile ago.  Do I send the cards to that address?  I believe it was yours.

[TroubleonFire]

Tamara, I will PM you with Jennifer's address.  T
