February focuses on the heart. It is National Heart Month and a great time to commit to a healthy lifestyle that can lead to a lifetime of heart health. One of the most important things you can do to protect your heart is eating healthy. A great way to manage your healthy lifestyle is to take full advantage of your beautiful NEMA San Francisco kitchen and make your meals at home.
Here are a few heart healthy recipes to get you started:
Chickpea and Red Pepper Soup with Quinoa
Balsamic Chicken with Apple, Lentil and Spinach Salad
Mediterranean Vegetable Lentil Soup
Grilled Eggplant Parmesan Pizza
An easy first step to eating healthy is to include fruits and vegetables at every meal and snack. All forms (fresh, frozen, canned and dried) and all colors count, so go ahead and add color to your plate – and your life. Here are a few clever ways to fit veggies into any meal.
