I figured I’d start with some of the heart healthy diet meals that were real winners.  The American Heart Association Meals in Minutes cook book had some great recipes. 

     The best recipe from that book so far is the Parmesan Pork Medallions.  The Curmudgeon and I loved it!  I gave some left overs to G and she and her husband loved them too.  Most of the recipes I’ve tried from that book have gone over well.   The No Chop Stew is excellent too and very easy to make.

     The recipes in the Cardiac Recovery book were not as successful in the house.  The Curmudgeon did enjoy some of the recipes like the BBQed Chicken Spicy Southern Style and the Jamaican Jerk Chicken.   He did not care for many of the soups and beef recipes.

     I’m still testing recipes and modifying old stand bys, it isn’t easy now with our beef heavy freezer.  The new shipment of meats will help a lot since I ordered less beef and much more poultry and fish.
