Best over papparadelle, fettucini, or rigatoni, this sauce recipe is from the Joy of Cooking. I also think it would be great over chicken, or of course, a steak. I was just reading through recipes, looking for a different kind of pasta sauce, and noticed that these ingredients mean it is easily heart-healthy. This one […]

Pesto, light? Pesto, reheatable? Pesto that holds at a buffet party without getting sticky? I would not have believed it if I hadn’t made this, twice. This is from my new American Heart Association Cookbook. Their name for it is Perfect Pesto, and it kinda is. Serves 6 4 ounces fresh spinach leaves 1/2 cup […]

Amazing Race
By
This weekend was Twin Cities Marathon weekend – the race I was training for this summer and was planning to run with my brother, Mike. Life, as we know, intervened. So a few weeks ago I asked my rehab physiologist (aka boss-of-me) if she thought I could run the TC5K instead. I got permission from her, […]

I bought this little American Heart Association kids cookbook because Owen likes to cook with me. We made the chicken fingers and I probably loved them more than either Owen or Noah did. I guess they are just one of those kid foods I never outgrew. But, Scott liked them too, so you can confidently […]

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 […]

From Cooking Light Magazine Serves 8 Sounds weird, is good. Trust me. The sweet nuttiness of the squash combines with the salty, tangy cheeses to create a great approximation of cheddar Bechamel, but with only 6 grams of saturated fat for a really generous serving (vs. 36 grams for the real stuff). I’ve had other squash […]

I hope everyone has seen this funny and really, far too realistic video, produced by Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association’s women’s heart health campaign. The day of my heart attack started as a totally normal day, and I expected normalcy to resume at any moment (hmm, still waiting). I called Scott from the ER […]

My 12th Pill
By
I now take 12 pills a day. Me, the self-righteous riot grrl who demanded to see the results of studies of this drug or that drug on women and then refused to take them when the doctor admitted there was no such thing. Me, the nervous first-time mother who wouldn’t even take fish oil supplements while […]
