Yummy low cholesterol treats or meals?

The most difficult for me is to stay away from cheese. At least I like hard cheese which is better for you. Fortunately, I love veggies of all kinds except brussel sprouts. I've tried so many recipes for them and no matter how I dress them up, they're vile and bitter. I use mainly olive oil for cooking except when I fondue. It doesn't work well then. This thread is making me hungry!

Someone I know is weaning himself off statins (with his doc's involvement and approval and blood work) by using flax seed, or flax seed oil. I think it's a certain kind of flax oil, ask at a health food shop.

As for protein - if you want to use shakes and are allergic to soy, there are other sources: rice and hemp protein! Perhaps they can be added to soups or other dishes to 'beef' them up a bit.

Good for you for being proactive! I hope you two can stave off meds indefinitely!

Cheese is one thing I could have difficulties quitting, but as you Medusa, I also mostly eat hard cheese.

It's funny so many people don't like brussel sprouts, I was the same years ago, but I like them now.

Think I'll make a big bowl of Gazpacho one of these days... that can't be bad!
