2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)

Heart Healthy Taco Salad
Ground beef is not taboo on a heart healthy diet as long as you choose the leanest cut possible. I usually don't like to endorse a specific vendor, but in this case it's necessary. Laura's Beef packages ground sirloin that is 96% lean, and the company is endorsed by the American Heart Association.Thinking outside the lunch "box"!
