FLAVOR BOOSTERS Sauces, condiments and dressings With the taste changes that can come with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, some foods might not taste like they used to. Adding flavorful condiments can make all the difference! A zippy salsa might be just the thing to top the fish fillet that now tastes flat, or an intense marinade might wake up an otherwise tasteless burger or chicken breast. Condiments like these can also help you "sneak in" some calories and nutrients that your body needs. A delicious dressing or a creamy dip could make vegetables more appealing-and, with a few crackers or crispbreads, turn them into a satisfying mini-meal. A smooth sauce or gravy can help moisten foods and make them easier to swallow, boosting calories and flavor at the same time. For all these reasons, having a few great recipes like these is like money in the bank. Most store well, so keep a supply in your fridge to have on hand when you need them. FLAVOR BOOSTERS 67
