Message from Barbara Smith, Food Pantry Manager

February is heart month. Not only do we need to attend to our loved ones, but we need to tend to our own heart health as well. So here are some tips for a heart healthy diet. 1) Eat a plant-based diet including fruits, veggies and grains. 2) Limit unhealthy fats like butter, dairy and cheese and choose cholesterol lowering margarines such as Benacol or Smart Balance. 3) Choose low fat proteins like lean meat, poultry, fish and beans and limit marbled and processed meats. 4) Reduce sodium and watch your intake of processed and prepared foods. But occasionally give yourself a treat with a heart healthy glass of red wine or a piece of dark chocolate with increased flavonoids. A perfect indulgence for Valentine’s Day. Here is a heart-healthy cod fish recipe that I often make: Baked Cod with Tomato and Feta Preheat oven to 400*. Using an oven safe skillet, sauté 1/2 cup diced onion in 1 Tblsp. Olive oil til soft. Add 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (I use 4 Roma tomatoes), 1/4 cup white wine, 1 Tblsp red wine vinegar or white balsamic vinegar, large pinch of oregano or favorite Italian seasoning and pepper to taste. Simmer til tomatoes are juicy. Nestle fish in mixture and spoon some of sauce on top. Bake for 15-20 min. Depending on thickness of fish. Serve with parsley and feta cheese on top. Enjoy!
