For those of you visiting for the first time, Lung Cancer “Foodie Friday” will feature recipes that can be soothing during lung cancer treatment, as well as recipes containing foods that may help in lung cancer prevention.

About.com’s Low Fat Cooking Guide, Fiona Haynes, is responsible for today’s recipe.
