Rose Carter seized the chance to become creative in the kitchen when her doctor advised a low-cholesterol diet. She explains, “I wanted foods that were heart-healthy but still full of flavor.”
Rose loves the following low-cholesterol dinner ideas:
One might make lentil and vegetable soup. Rose says, “This soup is a life saver.” loaded with lentils, carrots, celery, and tomatoes, it is filling and nouraging. For brightness, she tosses a dash of lemon juice.
2. Salmon grilled over steamed broccoli. Rose like teaming salmon with greens. “Salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol,” she notes.
3. Bell Peppers Stuffed With Stuff. Rose loads bell peppers with quinoa, black beans, corn, and spices. She notes, “It’s colorful, filling, and ideal for meal prep.”
4. Avocado Toast with a Twist. Rose tops whole-grain toast with sliced cherry tomatoes after spreading mashed avocado instead of butter. She comments, “It’s simple, quick, and keeps me full for hours.”
Rose has developed a repertoire of meals fit for the soul and the heart by substituting modest changes and emphasizing fresh foods. “Healthy eating can be delicious rather than boring!” she says.
