The Heart of the Matter #5 - Waterlife

fish5

So now when Joanna's roundup of HotM #4 has been up for a couple of days, here and here, it's time for the announcement of July month's round! But first I have to say that I am so happy that so many have discovered this event because it really helps us to fulfill its purpose, that of building up the HotM blog with a recipe base of heart healthy food where you can go to find recipes and inspiration! A heartfelt thanks (now, how could I resist a pun like that here?) to all of last rounds participants!

This month the theme is fish! But not only fish, anything that swims or just lives in the water is OK (well maybe not mermaids if you happen to find any, they are too beautiful and the same goes for sea horses, I have had a soft spot for those since I was little) which means that you can use lobsters, prawns, oysters, clams, eel, tuna in cans and roe, just to mention a few! You can boil or fry, make pasta dishes or salads, stews or finger food-there are no limits to what you can make as long as it is heart healthy. Fish is particularly good for the heart as it has Omega 3 oil and the fatter the fish the better they say so for once we are allowed to go for a fat product! Try to avoid using bad fats (like butter and trans fats) and too fat dairy products, serve it with a lot of vegetables that are in season (possibly) and you have a heart healthy meal on your table! It's not difficult is it? So please help us to build up a heart healthy recipe base and participate in
HotM #5, all you have to do is to send me the link to your entry at i_beretta AT yahoo DOT it before the 23 of July( the last day is the 22), make a link to Lucullian or to the HotM blog if you prefer so that your readers get to know about the event and can see the roundup later! In order to keep this focused on heart health we ask you to consider this as a one entry event, i.e. we prefer that you don't use your entry for other events as well. (But we are known to have made exceptions, see Lisa'sentry in the last roundup for example!)

Well, I couldn't make it for last round...and it was one of my favourites, vegetables, but I was definitely too busy! But now I'm back and I will for sure participate to this one! I'll start thinking about it right now...
