Who hasn’t known someone touched by cancer, directly or indirectly? My grandmother’s battle with pancreatic cancer was my first introduction to this ghastly disease. A life changing experience for our family, it really wasn’t a battle since, once diagnosed, it was only a few months when we lost her. It’s a time in my life I will never forget, and it still causes raucous feeling in my stomach.

Last year’s round up brought about an outstanding twenty-five participants. Let's do it again! As you're cooking over the next couple of weeks, utilize recipes which include ingredients that help the body fight cancer. In short? Healthy recipes . There are several links on the event posting that you can link to for recipe ideas.

This year’s deadline for Cooking to Combat Cancer 2 is not until the end of the month, the date I was diagnosed. Please post your cancer combating culinary creation (that is for this event only), with a link back to this posting, no later than Tuesday, April 29, 2008.
