I have a freezer full of meats, a lifetime of recipes stashed in my brain, and suddenly I have to change everything.  ACK!  Low cholesterol, low-fat, low or no sodium, buzz words swirl though my brain. 

     I haven’t gone shopping yet so all those healthy side dishes, vegetables, fruits, and other fresh items are in low supply.  Any recipes, ideas, or handy dandy tips on changing my regular recipes are welcome.

     What I haven’t found in the several heart healthy cookbooks that I now own are decent snacks that are easy to make and both tasty and satisfying.  I like crunch—not celery crunch, but crunchy crunch.  I absolutely abhor cold cereals of all flavors so don’t even go there.
