the friday feed: heart healthy food


Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and eating a diet filled with fruits and vegies, whole grains, healthy proteins, and non-fat and low fat dairy, are the foundation of a heart-healthy diet. 

I love to recreate foods that I get from restaurants. This salad is inspired from the Elote Bowl from  Sweetgreen in Chicago. Roasted corn, fajita vegetables, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, goat cheese, brown rice and quinoa, and Romaine lettuce, with a lime cilantro jalapeno dressing accompanied grilled chicken thighs for dinner. 

The farmers' markets will be opening soon and all the fresh produce will inspire  summer-in-a-bowl salad meals. This is my favorite season of the year to cook.
