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 Charm

Even I might be able to eat this. I would just have to omit the walnuts, pepper and nutmeg.
