The year of my heart attack, my friend Heidi sent me a jar of this granola for Christmas. Her card said she thinks of me every time she makes it because its main ingredients — oats, flax, almonds, canola oil — are all heart-healthy all-stars. Scott and I stood in the kitchen that night eating […]
Breakfast Boost for Your Heart
I used to love going out for breakfast, but there are few decadent breakfasts left if you take away cheese, eggs, and Hollandaise. I have found some tasty options, though, that count as a splurge in my book. Think silky, warm baked goods and you'll be ready to face the day.

Adapted from 100 Days of Real Food Ooo this one is so good! It has a great, silky texture and is spicy and pumpkin-y and delicious. It is not sweet, so I served it with maple butter (to my brunch guests), though I loved it plain or, gulp, with my Smart Balance margarine (I really […]
