Heart Healthy Recipes

My brother is recovering from a heart attack. He had 100% blockage in right ventricle. I'm staying with him until he gets back on his feet. I'm looking for heart healthy recipes to prepare for him. Any other suggestions for him much appreciated also, thanks in advance.

Heart Healthy Meals

I need "heart healthy" meal ideas for my diabetic husband who recently underwent heart surgery. Most healthy cooking is so bland it just doesn't appeal to him so he's not eating well and getting very weak. It's like a vicious cycle--if it's good for him, he just doesn't want it. Help!

If you're looking for heart healthy recipes here's a website: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/Recipes/Recipes_UCM_001184_SubHomePage.jsp

I have to agree with you, there are way too many meat recipes posted here. And the dessert recipes are loaded with too much sugar. I'd definitely be pushing daisies by now if I ate all the recipes posted here. And then we can't figure out why Americans are so fat and obese. (10/24/2010)

RE: Heart Healthy Recipes

I don't know of any famous cooks that do, but there are plenty of heart healthy recipes out there. I am doing HH recipes myself. I also modify the recipes I come across to fit my needs (saute in broth or water instead of oil, use yogurt (Greek is best) in place of sour cream, cut down or modify sugar and oil, etc.).

Those TV meals that read healthy, don't be mislead, the salt content is terrible. (10/28/2010)

RE: Heart Healthy Recipes

DH and I eat low carb, heart healthy all the time. I have learned to make pretty well anything healthy enough for us, even sweets. The way I did it is to figure out what meals I liked, then researched to find recipes that I could modify to suit my needs. Such as brown rice instead of white, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. I use spices and seasonings instead of salt. (10/28/2010)

These web sites have some great heart-healthy recipes. I subscribe to both of these magazines, but you don't have to subscribe to the magazines in order to access the online recipes. (10/28/2010)
