Eating Hints for Cancer Patients

Individual Cheese Pies

1 tbsp. ricotta cheese
1 tbsp. applesauce (pureed), peaches, or drained crushed pineapple
2 tsp. sugar
Sprinkle of cinnamon
One 3-inch sugar cookie (store-bought)

Blend cheese, fruit, sugar, and cinnamon. Spoon over a sugar cookie, turned upside down so the sugar side is on the bottom next to the cookie sheet or foil. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes (the cookie softens as it absorbs the liquid from the fruit-cheese mixture (for a softer treat, lower the oven to 325°). Serves 1.


* Cheese is one-eighth of the 2-cup daily milk allowance.
