February is all about Hearts! It's American Heart Health Month. It's Valentine's Day. Show your valentine you really care about his/her heart with meals that make the heart stronger and healthier. It's amazing what the right food will do for hearts...health...and LOVE! 

Big things always start small...and grow!  Before you could run, you learned to take small steps first. It's the same with New Year's promises like "eating healthier" or "losing a few pounds". You just have to get started. And NOW is the perfect time.  Forget "dieting."  Try one small step a week.  Make little changes to what you eat.  Choose one thing and just do it. In a week or two, add another change... and WOW! You're on your way to a healthier you.

"Tis the season to be jolly!" with sweets galore! Even if you're watching what you eat, this is the time when those good habits seem go out the window. But wait!  Making your own treats at home means you can control what goes in them. A few simple substitutions can transform holiday treats from naughty to nice!  AND a gift of home-made cookies is a simple way to tell others you care about them.
