Fudge Pudding Cake with Ice Cream: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
The mere word 'Fudge' lured me to this recipe, then I saw the picture! WOW! Cake and ice cream, what a double treat! This fantastic REPEAT bakes up with two layers a pudding on the bottom and a cake on top! A word of caution: make sure to use a tall pan when making the cake or your pudding layer will overflow. I LOVE this fudgey pudding cake, it taste like a brownie.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea and mouth sores, two of the most common side effects of cancer treatments. The doctor advises dessert can be an important part of a meal because it often provides plenty of calories per bite.
This is the last of my Pink Ribbon Recipes for Breast Cancer Awareness Month for now, but the fight of breast cancer survivors continue. This is all of our fight too, so stay strong, be healthy, get your mammogram ...please.

Easy Cheesy Broccoli Bake: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
Continuing with my Pink Ribbon Recipe, I pick this recipes to share because I LOVE broccoli. It's one of my favorite vegetables.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea, one of the side effects of cancer treatment. Broccoli is a great source of folic acid, which aid in normal body functions. But as I stated here the doctor warns
excessive folic acid can interfere with the effectiveness of a
chemotherapy called methotrexate, so please check with the doctor first, if you're on a special diet.
Easy Cheesy Broccoli Bake adapted Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook
Prep Time; 10 Minutes Start to Finish: 1 Hour 5 Minutes 6 servings (1 cup each)
1 bag (1 lb) frozen broccoli cuts, thawed, drained
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken or cream of celery soup
1 jar (8 oz) process cheese sauce
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup uncooked instant rice (I used Minute Instant Whole Grain Brown Rice)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon pepper (I used 1 teaspoon Mrs Dash Onion & Herb Seasoning)
(I added 2 tablespoon butter)
Heat oven to 350F Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray Mix all ingredients in casserole.
Cover; bake 50 to 55 minutes or until rice is tender.

What I Did and/or Think:
I followed the recipe except for the changes in Italic.
The Taste: I really like the taste of this casserole. I served it with boneless/skinless chicken baked breast topped with a cheese sauce. GOOD EA
T!
I think the next time I do this I will use Uncle Ben Long Grain Rice, my favorite; so this will be REPEATED!
ENJOY! Come again...

Pumpkin Banana Bread: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
Well it's Sunday again, if you're just tuning in to my post, every Sunday I post a Breakfast Is Served. This Breakfast Is Served Sunday is a Pink Ribbon Recipe, just like the one from last Sunday found here.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it help with diarrhea and nausea, two of the most common side effect of cancer treatments. Bananas are a great source of nutrients when severe diarrhea is a problem. And as I mentioned here, pumpkins are rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A) which studies have shown may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
Banana Bread adapted Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
3 very ripe medium bananas (I only had 2 bananas, so I mixed in 1/3 cup pumpkin puree with the bananas)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts, if desired
Start to Finish: 3 Hours 30 Minutes 2 loaves (24 slices)
Move oven rack to low position so tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350 F. Spray bottom only of 2 (8x4inch) loaf pans (I used 1 long loaf pan) with cooking spray. in medium bowl, mash bananas with potato masher or fork to measure 1 1/2 cups
In large bowl, stir together sugar and butter. Stir in eggs until well
mixed in bananas, (I mixed in 1/3 cup pumpkin puree with the banana)
buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts.
Divide batter evenly between pans. (I used 1 long loaf pan, sprinkled walnuts along the sides and banana chips in the center )
Bake 1 hour or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center come out clean. Cool in pun 10 minutes.
Run knife along sides of pan to loosen bread; remove bread from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely,
about 2 hours, before slicing.
(I like to make my banana breads at least 8 hours before)

What I Did and /or Think:
I followed the recipe as directed except for the changes that are in Italic. I made my banana bread the day before, because it gives it a chance for the flavors to blend.
The Taste: I LOVE the taste of the bread. It was moist and very flavorful because of the pumpkin and bananas. I used 2 mashed frozen banana, thawed with the juice and 1/3 cup homemade pumpkin puree; but canned pumpkin puree, solid-packed can be used also.
I drizzled it with a Buttermilk Cream Cheese Glaze, to serve, optional. For the glaze go here, replace the milk with buttermilk and add 1 teaspoon vanilla, if you like.
This is most definitely a REPEAT!
ENJOY! Come again...

Raspberry-Banana Gelatin Dessert: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
The mixing of ice cream with jello, is what caught my attention in this recipe. I wondered how it would taste, so I had to try it out.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea, mouth sores, and diarrhea, three of the most common side effects of cancer treatments. During times of nausea, gelatin can help settle the stomach. Eating crackers and dry toast can help combat nausea in the morning and drinking plenty of fluids can be a big help also.
Raspberry-Banana Gelatin Dessert adapted Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook
Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Start to Finish: 3 Hours 40 Minutes 8 servings
1 box 8-serving size) raspberry-flavored gelatin (I used 2 {4-serving size boxes} 3 oz. each)
2 cups boiling water
1 pint (2 cups) vanilla ice cream
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, drained (I use 1 15 1/4 oz. can)
2 medium bananas, thinly sliced
1. Place gelatin in medium bowl. Add boiling water, stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in ice cream.
Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until partially set.
Spray 2-quart mold with cooking spray. Stir pineapple and bananas into gelatin.
Spoon into mold. Cover; refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.
Unmold gelatin onto serving plate.
Low fiber
1 Serving: Calories 210 (Calories from Far 35); Total Fat 3.5g (Saturated Fat 2g, Trans Fat 0g); Cholesterol 15mg Sodium 130mg, Potassium 240mg, Total Carbohydrate 42g (Dietary Fiber 1g); Protein 3g % Daily Value: Vitamin A 4%; Vitamin C 15%; Calcium 6%; Iron 0%; Folic Acid 2%: Magnesium 6% Exchanges: 1 Starch, 1/2 Fruit, 1 1/2 Other Carbohydrate, 1/2 Fat Carbohydrate Choices: 3
What I Did and/or Think:
I followed the recipe as stated. I divided the jello into 2 mini trifle dishes and a small heart-shape mold because I didn't have a 2 quart mold.
The ice cream gave the jello a creamy texture.
The Taste: I LOVE IT! I can't wait to try it out with different flavors of jellos ice creams, or fruits! This is another Great REPEAT!
ENJOY! Come again...

Super Grilled Cheese Sandwiches: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches, so when I saw this recipe in the book I knew I had to give it a try. These grilled cheese sandwiches have two extra ingredients added to them; tomato and green onions. LOVE IT!
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because of it's calcium percentages. To make sure you're getting enough calcium daily check the labels on the foods you buy. If you add up all the percentages for the day, you should reach at least 100 percent Daily Value for calcium. With this recipe, you're off to a great start, because it has 20 percent.
Super Grilled Cheese Sandwiches adapted Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook
Prep Time: 5 Minutes Start to Finish: 15 Minutes 4 sandwiches
4 slices (1 oz each) Cheddar, mozzarella, Colby or Monterey Jack cheese (I used Colby-Jack)
8 slices Italian sourdough, white or whole wheat bread (I used Whole Wheat Bread)
2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
1 medium tomato, seeded, chopped (3/4 cup)
8 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened (I used I Can't Believe It Not Butter Light)
Place cheese slices on 4 slices of bread.
Top with onions and tomato,
(I added another slice of cheese on top of the tomato/onions.)
then remaining bread. Spread 1 teaspoon butter over each slice of bread.
In 12-inch skillet, place sandwiches, butter sides down. Spread remaining butter over top slices of bread.
Cook uncovered over medium heat about 5 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.
Turn and cook 2
to 3 minutes longer or until bottoms are golden brown and cheese is
melted. Using pizza cutter, cut sandwiches into wedges or sticks.

What I Did and/or Think:
I follow the recipe directions except for the changes I made in Italic. As you may have notice in the picture, I put an extra slice of cheese on top of the tomato and green onions so they were super cheesy :)
The Taste: To say the least the sandwiches were great. I love the added flavor the tomato and green onions gave to the sandwiches also. I played around with one of them and added some slice mushrooms, very tasty. This is definitely a REPEAT, ladies.
ENJOY! Come again...
