These delicious recipes are packed full of the best secret weapon ingredients to prevent cancer from the "Anti-Cancer Cookbook.". Below are some of the recipes from Dr. Julia Greer.
Chilled Apple Oatmeal & Green Tea
Top this oatmeal with some fresh raspberries or dried cherries to add sweetness and get an extra antioxidant boost. This recipe’s lignans, found in oats, and calcium, found in milk, may help prevent pancreas and liver cancers. Additionally, Green tea is rich in catechins, which reduce growth of blood vessels needed for tumor growth. Ingredients
Makes 2 servings, about 3/4 cup each
1/2 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
1/2 cup low-fat 1% milk
1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup natural unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tsp pumpkin seeds
1/4 tsp low-calorie sugar substitute
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon Directions Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir well, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled.
Salmon BLTs with Herb Dressing
You can grill the salmon indoors on a stovetop or stand alone grill, with equally tasty results. Grilling covered allows the fish to heat by convection and decreases carcinogen exposure. This recipe’s selenium, found in salmon, and folate, found in lettuce, may help prevent kidney and ovarian cancers. Ingredients
Makes 4 salmon BLTs
Nonstick cooking spray, olive oil style
2-1/2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
2 tbsp plain low-fat yogurt
2 tsp chives, snipped
1 tsp garlic, minced
4 salmon fillets, with skin, about 1-inch thick (about 5 oz each)
8 slices whole grain bread
4 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves
2 ripe but firm medium tomatoes
6 slices fully cooked turkey bacon, each slice broken in half .
Directions;
Spray grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare outdoor grill for covered, direct grilling over medium heat. Stir sour cream, yogurt, chives and garlic together in a small bowl until well blended; set aside. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper as desired. Place salmon, skin side facing down, on heated grill rack; cook covered about 11 to 12 minutes, until salmon is opaque, but do not turn. Slide thin metal spatula or pancake turner between skin and salmon meat and transfer salmon to a plate (discard skin). Toast bread on grill rack about 1 minute per side. Spread herb dressing on 1 side of each of 4 toasted bread slides. Top with 1 folded lettuce leaf, 1 salmon fillet, 2 or 3 slices of tomato, and 3 half-pieces turkey bacon. Place top toasted bread slice on each sandwich and serve.
Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce
Pork is one of those protein sources of which you should limit your consumption. However, when you choose to eat pork chops, preparing them with recipes such as this low-calorie one will maximize your antioxidant intake. This recipe’s allicin, found in shallots, and anthocyanins, found in cherries, may help prevent the following lung and breast cancers.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
4 (about 3/4 lb total weight) boneless center cut organic pork loin chops, medium thickness
1/2 cup bottled reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette
Nonstick olive oil flavor cooking spray
1/2 cup shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dried cherries
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions;
Place pork and vinaigrette in shallow baking dish and turn once to coat; marinate 10 to 15 minutes. Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Lift pork, shake off excess marinade and transfer to skillet, reserving marinade in dish. Sauté pork chops until brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate. Add shallots to skillet and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, cherries and reserved marinade. Bring to a low boil. Return chops to skillet and simmer until pork is cooked thoroughly, cherries are tender and the sauce has slightly reduced—about 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve chops on dinner plates, topped with cherry sauce.
