I continue to be honored and grateful for the opportunity to share not only my story of survival but to offer heart healthy recipes and healthy snacks you can make quickly.  So quick in fact that I can present them in under five minutes right on television!

Last week I was in Portland, Oregon on AM NW again to show two new healthy recipes that could be a lunch or healthy snacks.  Best of all, these foods will reduce the risk of having a stroke.
