Healthy Heart ♥ Dinner for Two

A woman's heart

seeks love

 warmth

comfort

 

 health

 

 sweetness and a little zest

February is the month for Valentines, Love and Hearts.

Taking care of our hearts is life long.
Salmon is a heart-healthy food.
On Valentine's weekend, my husband brought home a "big catch" from the market.
He baked it for us with sliced lemons, butter (Smart Balance) and herbs.
*a lil' salt, pepper and lemon zest*
We had lots of left-overs.
...So on another night...

I served fresh baked, comforting and still warm
whole wheat rolls,

using King Arthur Flour's recipe.

I used less oil, fresh skim milk and a free-range egg.
