Go Nuts for Heart Health (Literally!)

Friday, February 13, 2015

Nuts are high fiber treats that are great for heart health! Lucky for us, we live in Georgia and that means we have pecans for days! Our Spice Rubbed Chicken with Wilted Kale & Mushroom Salad is loaded with Georgia pecans to give you kick of fiber, which Piedmont Healthcare tells us "helps minimize the absorption of dietary cholesterol." That's why they chose this dish as their Heart Healthy Choice of the week.

The heart health doesnt' stop at the pecans thought! Piedmont says for a healthy heart, we should be eating

1. More fruits & veggies - Check! This dinner is a kale-lovers dream come true!

2. Vegetable oil - Check! This recipe calls for olive oil, and since you're cooking, you can control the amount that goes in. Which leads me to number 3...

3. Limit Fats - Check! White Oak Pastures chicken breasts are lean cuts of meat, so you don't have to worry about too much fat.

Order your Spice Rubbed Chicken by Wednesday 2/18 at midnight to start eating your way to heart health.
