  1. FISH:<\/strong>high in omega-3s, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and trout.<\/li>\n
  2. NUTS<\/strong>: A handful of\u00a0healthy\u00a0nuts\u00a0such as almonds or walnuts will satisfy your hunger and help your heart.<\/li>\n

  4. Flaxseeds\u00a0contain omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and phytoestogens to boost heart health. Take them in ground or milled form to reap the greatest benefit.<\/li>\n
  5. Oatmeal: the comfort-food nutrient powerhouse.<\/li>\n
  6. Dark beans, such as kidney or black beans, are high in fiber, B-vitamins, minerals and other good stuff. Veggie chili, anyone?<\/li>\n

  11. Fruits\u00a0such as oranges, cantaloupes and papaya are rich in beta-carotene, potassium, magnesium and fiber.<\/li>\n
  12. Tender, sweet\u00a0asparagus\u00a0is filled with mighty nutrients such as beta-carotene, folate and fiber, and only provide 25 calories per cup, or 5 calories per large spear.<\/li>\n
  13. Tomatoes\u00a0\u2013 even sun-dried varieties in winter months \u2013 provide lycopene, vitamin C and alpha- and beta-carotene.<\/li>\n
  14. Dark chocolate\u00a0is good for your heart health, but just be sure that it\u2019s at least 70 percent\u00a0cocoa.<\/li>\n
  15.

    It\u2019s that time of year again. The \u201cI have to fit into this carnival costume, look good and feel good on the road\u201d time. So here\u2019s a Three Bean Soup meal idea using CUISINE beans, that fits in just right if your interest is figure, fitness, flavor or all of the above and then some.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00311\"<\/p>\n

    Cut some pumpkin into cubes. We used about 2 cups, just for a little flavor to compliment the beans.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00314\"<\/p>\n

    Then dice everything up. Ginger, garlic\u2026<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00318\"<\/p>\n

    Pimiento. Going for flavor and not for heat.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00319\"<\/p>\n

    And onion to contribute to that earthy flavor.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00334\"<\/p>\n

    In a pressure cooker, add a little oil. Just enough to coat the surface.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00337\"<\/p>\n

    Add the ginger, garlic, pimiento and onion to the pressure cooker and saute (without the cover) for about a minute to start unlocking the flavors.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00339\"<\/p>\n

    Then add your beans. We used CUISINE Lima Beans, Black Beans and Red Beans this time, but feel free to try various combinations. About a half pack of each.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00340\"<\/p>\n

    Add Salt and Black Pepper to taste, then mix it around to distribute evenly.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00344\"<\/p>\n

    Add hot water. Enough to cover the contents by about 4 to 5 inches.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00379\"<\/p>\n

    Then cover your pressure cooker and let it cook.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00380\"<\/p>\n

    Cook times will vary according to your pressure cooker, so read your manual and follow the instructions there.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00383\"<\/p>\n

    Remove your pressure cooker from the heat, let cool and open. Then place it back on the heat. Top up with hot water if you don\u2019t have enough liquid for a soup. Keep in mind, you\u2019ll be cooking this for about 10 more minutes.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00385\"<\/p>\n

    Cube your seasoned chicken breast (or leave it out for a veggie option)\u2026<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00386\"<\/p>\n

    Some carrots\u2026<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00393\"<\/p>\n

    And add them to the soup. Let it cook uncovered for 10 to 15 more minutes, until the chicken is done and the carrots achieve your desired texture.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00462\"<\/p>\n

    Spoon it into a deep bowl<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"DSC00474\"<\/p>\n

    Top it with Micro Greens, Chives, Parsley or any other green herb of your preference and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
