I will give you an update on Cindy. We took her to Vanderbilt Medical Center for a second opinion and they concurred with her diagnosis and treatment. They felt the cancer clinic where she is receiving chemo-therapy treatment is one of the best in our area.
I eat a lot of salads. Some with grilled chicken added, most without. I have always, meaning even in my not eating so healthy days, enjoyed salads. Obviously eating salads at most chain restaurants is not considered eating healthy. They add a lot of sodium and fattening dressings to enhance the taste. Most always will included fried chicken as regular, grilled has to be ask for. And their grilled is not necessarily grilled meaning over hot goals or a burner. Many times grilled is on a griddle with salted grease as a flavor enhancer.
I have found a restaurant near my home that serves a great veggie burger. When ordering you must ask for the heart healthy version. If not you will receive a veggie burger, cooked on a griddle, and served with mayo along with a normal bun and chips or fries. You see many vegetarians consider that as such. French fries are a veggie food if fried in the appropriate grease. The heart healthy version we eat is grilled over hot coals. Includes mustard, tomato, and served with a small plate salad with tomato basil dressing rather than fries or chips. This particular restaurant includes in its normal menu many heart healthy versions which are approved of by a local cardiovascular clinic. The heart healthy version not only means using veggies, turkey, or whatever your choice, but also in how they prepare, cook, and flavor the meal.
