Does anybody have any good heart healthy recipes or suggestions on some good healthy junk food. :-)?!
Answers: Just looking for some good healthy food that tastes good!
My favorites are the Nabisco 100-Calorie Snack Packs. They help my sweet tooth and my craving for snacks. There is a wide-variety of things to choose from. Lays Light Chips are only 75 calories a serving (even Baked Lays are 140 a serving). They are baked with Olestra.

Baked Lays potato Chips are fantastic :]
well hopefully you have the accurate measurements and the method...and baking time. Sounds healthy, but if you mix it up I would taste the batter and adjust the seasonings....probably add some Lawry's about 1/2 tsp and black pepper. Maybe some garlic too. It would be worth a try....

My husband's (heart) doctor said beef once per month ONLY and to eat cold water fish often. Canned kippers, sardines, and salmon are also good for the heart and body. Hint: I do not like fish so I put soy sauce on it to make it taste better. Salsa on fish is good too.

At our house, we keep several boxes of graham crackers on hand for snacks. They are very good with a peanut butter on them. Or just by themselves.
to live a healthy life style you have to start thinking simple. then add those simple things and add them together. for example, lettus, tomatos,ranch dressing, and chicken breast. add some yellow american cheese. you can substitute the chicken breast with ham if you like. you can also eat avocado. add as many things that are heathy as you can. tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime, egg or like jenna bush you can add tunna. i saw her make that on rachel ray. lol anyways take care and remember a smile can brighten anyones day!
