Meal ideas please

I have friends who are about to undertake another round of cancer treatments.
I want to try to help out by cooking up a few things they can either use straight away or freeze for later.
Any suggestions?

Nothing too spicy or rich in case they are feeling a bit off from the chemo.   Chicken is light...some sort of chicken casserole would be good and easy to freeze.

Apricot chicken, tasty and easy to reheat for times when they feel like eating.

I found bland food was better myself, dry biscuits, a little dried fruit, anything easy to digest.

Bags of boiled sweets were great for taking away that horrid taste in the mouth.

Lurker, you are a sweet person 🙂

With chemo, the mouth and throat can be sore, so nothing too textured is good too.

Chicken is great.

Also, iron rich foods. So a roast beef might be good if you can manage it, a small one, that could be eaten over a couple of days and kept in the fridge in foil.

Different chemo/different surgery can also mean different nutritional requirements. Nausea and delicate tummies so not spicy as mentioned already 🙂

A variety of fresh fruit too, that would keep and be a good thing as a snack.

Grapes, apples, bananas.

I have a beef casserole rescipe that I tolerated. BBS

Beef is important 🙂

[twinkles**stars]

Can't find it but I rarelt measure anything anyway 🙂

Brown some beef in a pan and place in a casserole dish

In the juices cook a diced onion, chopped bacon and celery

Add a little flour and cook off

Add some water, tomato paste, mixed herbs, tiny bit of sugar and stir until it thickens.

Pour over the beef and cook in the over for about 50 minutes.

Serve with rice or salad

Grated carrots in that could be good too for extra vegies

Sounds yum

Thanks everyone :-).
I should have clarified, he's not having chemo, radio apparently. They have the palliative nurse visiting already, so it's not looking good. I just want to take one little chore off their minds.
