Q&A: Can anyone suggest some good “Healthy Heart” foods.?
Can anyone suggest some good “Healthy Heart” foods.?
Ok, I think that this is really ridiculous especially with all of this “politically correct” crap out there my 10 year old daughter is not have the traditional Valentine’s Day party at school. Instead they are having a “Healthy Heart Celebration” and concentrating on heart healthy foods. They made some suggestions for foods i.e. 100% juice, granola, peanut butter and crackers, unsalted baked pretzels, fruit and oatmeal cookies. Ok these foods are not going to fly with 10 year olds so I am looking for some creative healthy foods that are also kid friendly. Any suggestions. Thanks so much for your help.
I wish that I could say that this was a joke but its not. I was just as disgusted as you seem to be about this as well. I just wish that they could have to old fashioned Valentine’s Day Party that they used to have where you brought in the cheesey valentines, pink cookies and cupcakes and you had a container of juice to go with it.
Suz I like your ideas I think I will make the fruit salsa and cinnamon tortilla chips. Thanks.

Oh please!
Tell me this is a joke!
Make heart shaped sugar cookies, but put a teaspoon of bran in the recipe. Then you can call them “whole wheat”. And if you put enough icing on them, you can’t even tell. Don’t laugh, that’s what food manufacturers do every day. It’s all a joke. Healthy Heart is about a LIFESTYLE, not making one food or one kind of food the villain or one food or one kind of food the hero. Sheesh! Give me a break.
