There is nothing more comforting when you are sick than an act of kindness from a friend. Sometimes patients don't want to discuss their appetite or their situation. A thoughtful snack, casserole, or other healthy dish can bring happiness to a loved one, and be helpful for family members or caregivers.
Turkey Jambalaya is a quick and tasty one-dish meal, and a great way to use leftover turkey. The mushrooms are rich in B Vitamins and minerals. The artichokes are a great source of Vitamin C and fiber
