When my father was diagnosed he was given a great cookbook aimed at recipes to manage symptoms called the Cancer Fighting Kitchen. It outlines how different foods aim to help different symptoms of chemo and radiation while giving your body the nutrients it needs to keep fighting. I would check it out.

I wish you all the luck in the world, keep fighting.

I just made asian string beans with ground turkey, i sautéed the turkey with chopped ginger and garlic and chili flakes, added a couple dashes of soy sauce and a dash of fish sauce then added the green beans, sautéed until the were tender, then finished it with a little sesame oil...sooooo soooo good.

Great topic!

LOVE THEM!

I am a food lover, my boyfriend is a bit of a food snob... I am working to convert him to a food lover. My current battle... eating more than just ice cream out of the freezer section of Whole Foods.

@Cath25, I forgot Point Brugge doesn't take reservations. Grand Concourse if you ask me is over priced and over rated. Yeah its great scenery the building is amazing, but you do not get what you pay for. I'd suggest stopping there for a tour, not to eat. Lidias in the Strip is great, you could try and of the Big Burrito restaurants but they always run a little more expensive but I love love love Casbah. Also, in Lawrenceville, check out Piccolo Forno, its small, you can make a reservation, BYOB, AMAZING wood fired pizza and pastas. Its small but really an amazing find.
@joeqboo, I grew up near the city, lived in Shadyside for a while and my dad works in the restaurant industry so I eat out a lot.

BIX. If you're into jazz and a classy atmosphere with a speak easy feel. I absolutely recommend it. I went there with my boyfriend on our first date and we will never forget it.

Too bad you can't get great pizza in Pittsburgh :(

I second Tartine, I had the second best breakfast of my life there.

Starbucks is bitter and burnt tasting, I only drink coffee there when desperate. I use my stove top espresso machine and my little hand held milk frother and make excellent lattes. I love adding a little bit of cinnamon and honey to sweeten it. Oh yeah, and that fattiest milk I can find...yummm
