We are looking for recipes of all kinds. Yes, soups and smoothies, but it can be so much more than that! Be creative, and please share with us the recipes you have invented or discovered that help you to enjoy your food!
Part of everyday life that is taken for granted is eating. Until you can't. This might happen because of temporary dental work, advancing years, or illness. Head and neck cancer patients might find themselves in the situation where even the smallest meals can be difficult (or even painful) to eat, and leave them feeling exhausted.
Sometimes you maybe don't feel like cooking yourself.
Therefore there are companies out there that provide ready meals that are either easy to eat, easy to blend or ready blended.
