This is a hearty vegetarian dish. Textured vegetable protein (TVP) mimics the texture of ground beef, is easy to work with, and can handle a lot of bold flavors and spices, which is one of the main reasons it works so well in this recipe. Try making this chili for a friend and see if they…
This is one of my favorite Project Angel Heart meals. It always makes the kitchen smell so good! I especially like to make it during the colder months, as the bold flavors and spices make it perfect for a snowy day when you want something to simmer on the stove for a while. If you…
Erin didn’t feel sick. The 39-year-old public health nurse, wife, and mother of two ate well and exercised. She wasn’t at high risk for cancer. But one day, she felt something unusual in her breast. And, after a series of doctor’s appointments and tests, she got the phone call every woman dreads. It was her…
At Project Angel Heart, we’ve always believed that good nutrition improves health and reduces health care costs, especially for people living with life-threatening illnesses. Now we have data to back it up! A recent study of Project Angel Heart clients, which will be released in 2018, indicates that health care costs for people with congestive…
I created this recipe at the request of our registered dietitian, Meghan. After talking with clients who need to adhere to a low-sodium diet, and doing presentations in the community about heart-healthy eating, she wanted some examples of how to build flavor in a recipe without adding salt. This dish is a prime example. Sauteing all…
One morning a few weeks ago, one of our kitchen volunteers asked me about this dish. He said that while he was scooping it into a pan, the great smell of it caught his attention. He admitted to tasting it cold- and really enjoying it! He then asked me for the recipe to make it…
When it comes to health care, we’ve got a spending problem. According to a study published in The Lancet this year, the United States spends more on health care–$9,237 per person—than any of the 184 other countries included in the study[1]. Unfortunately, high spending has not led to better health. In fact, we’re ranked 12th…
This is the same recipe we use in the Project Angel Heart kitchen when we make chicken noodle soup for our clients — a true comfort food! It calls for a mix of chicken breast and thigh meat, but you can easily use one or the other if you prefer. For a fun twist on…
At Project Angel Heart, we make tilapia for our clients about once a week. It’s really important to us to use sustainable seafood products in our meals, so we’re thrilled that we’ve been able to work with Seattle Fish Co. to find a tilapia that’s free of additives and chemicals and meets Best Aquaculture Practices…
One of my favorite things to make at this time of year is Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho. Living in Colorado, we are subject to a bit of a later growing season. As a result, the end of August and beginning of September ends up being the best time of the “summer” to get local heirloom tomatoes!…
