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.

1. Worst fast-food chicken meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.

OK girls. I tried to find two easy and healthy recipes that are great for the summer. I thought that a fish dish would be awesome and you can't go wrong with a good steak on the BBQ.

If you've had a challenging morning at work, a good lunch can certainly lift your spirits and inspire you to carry on. For some, though, the motivation to prepare such a meal is hard to stir up, particularly at times when relaxing is what you want to do.
It's understandable that after a long day at the office, preparing and eating supper and getting things tidied up, the last thing many people want to do is think about what to make for lunch the next day.

I'm sure most of us couldn't imagine a life without bread: sandwiches, toast, bread baskets, bread bowls, and so forth. It is an integral part of our food culture and seems to be a major player in every meal. However, with the rise of low carb diets, the concept of "good carbs" and "bad carbs," plus the new offerings of "whole wheat" everything, it's easy to get confused about which breads are healthy and which are not.

My boyfriend made this last night, and it was, in the words of one guest, "mind-blowingly good." It's a seafood salad with scallops and shrimp, plus avocado, sesame oil, and a bunch of other good stuff. The salad was served over endive, with corn on the cob and homemade tortilla crisps.
