The Cooking Cardiologist

It’s no secret that eating a good breakfast is a blueprint for a productive and energetic day. You munch on a healthy meal to start the day and you immediately shift your mind and your body from park into third gear. An early morning tango with some whole grains, protein, and fruit will give you the nutrients and nourishment to keep your energy levels dancing like a ballerina on a bed of hot coals!

When the sun is dipping below the western horizon and a cool breeze is whistling through the trees, there’s really nothing better than biting into something that’s fresh off the grill. Burgers, brats, steaks, lamb chops, salmon, vegetables, fruit – you name it, they all are tasty titans of summer cuisine. As the temperature outside goes up, so do the flames of grills on patios all over the country. Grills are universally popular for their practicality, their versatility, and the distinctly roasted flavors they are able to bring out of meats, vegetables, and fruits.

Summer is here! That means it is time to get outside, fire up those grills, and get ready for a season of grilling all kinds of delectable creations (and you might have guessed that I prefer those creations that are full of fresh vegetables and fresh fish).  Always remember to maker sure your grill is ready for the season, and you can do this by following my healthy grilling tips.

Preparing food and dinning out can sometimes be tricky, especially when trying to maintain a healthy weight. Keeping a healthy weight and diet while eating delicious food may sound like a contradiction but it doesn’t have to be. As The Cooking Cardiologist I craft delectable heart healthy meals that are delicious while making you satisfied and full. In this post I outline what is needed for a balanced meal plan.
