Now that I've got your attention: No kittens or cats were harmed in this recipe. CAT stands for Cheddar, Apple, Tofu.

One reason why I was able to go the entire 40 radiation TX and 8 chemos without getting a Peg tube was that my caregiver wife kept modifying recipes and menus to make my food easier and easier to eat. According to my MO, I hold the record for eating real food during TX at my CCC for oral cancer patients ( but only by two weeks before I had to go to Ensure & VHC the last weeks.)
Here is one of her recipes[quote]
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons chopped onion
3 Tablespoons margarine or butter
1 cup whole wheat crackers, finely crushed
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
4 large tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup soft tofu
1/2 cup low fat or skim milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 Tablespoons of water
Nutmeg for garnish

In a saucepan, saute onion in margarine or butter, stir in crackers and nuts. Press mixture into the bottom (not sides) of a 9 inch pie plate. Bake for 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees
(varies with individual ovens - watch it closely first time)
Take plate out of oven, set aside and reduce temp to 325.
Meanwhile, while that was cooking in the oven :In a small saucepan, slowly cook the apples in 3 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes. Drain and place in pie shell. Blend together the tofu, milk, and pepper. Fold in cheese. Pour into the baked pie shell in the 9 inch pie plate, sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes.[/quote]

Even now, this works great in my Vitamix and feeding tube but Eric S validated that he could eat it so this recipe has both the Old Frack and Young Frack Seal of Approval
