Hi Craig,
Do not think I can e-mail this to you, so I will send it here. Also, more people may be able to use the information. Please keep in mind that these recipes are not for people who are allergic or intolerant to milk products. Also, your wife may be able to use these during the early stages of her treatment but as time goes on, her taste will change, her mouth and throat may become extremely sore, her sensitivity to hot and cold will change and she may not be able to tolerate or swallow any of these. Please talk to a Nutritionist/Dietician before tring any of these recipes. Your Radiation Oncologist should have one on his staff. God bless and good luck.
