What do I do when I crave a festive dinner but finances and dietary restrictions keep me at home? First of all, I consult the "oracle of the refrigerator" and use my imagination.
Two Happy Hearts: Savoring an Anniversary Dinner relates the true story of my 34th wedding anniversary. My husband had recently undergone cardiac bypass surgery and, thus, major lifestyle changes. We both had retired and the economy had tanked. Our anniversary fell on a Monday that year and many local restaurants were closed. I took the old fashioned solution and decided to cook a fancy, "heart-healthy" dinner myself. Listen to my story (MP3 format, 14 minutes) to see how things turned out.

For happy hearts, do heart-healthy cooking!
