Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Welcome to the group. You will find a recipe file filled with good dishes to cook and friendly support within this group. You are in my thoughts, your outlook is very positive and I always feel that's half of the healing process right there. Let us know if you are looking for any certain recipes because this group is good at finding their very own favorites to post that haven't been posted yet.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi, Amy! :-) Sounds like you have a great, positive attitude. I just wanted to tell you about the Christina Pirello - she has a cooking show on PBS... she's not quite vegetarian, but most of her food is, and the cookbooks are great. Anyway, she has leukemia, and has been cancer-free for quite some time, and did a great deal of effort with her food to conquer it. If you haven't seen them, I'm sure they would be good reading for you! http://www.christinacooks.com/ *hugs* and Welcome! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
