Heart Pop TartsMaking homemade pop tarts is one of our favorite things to do. Yes, they are a treat to be sure, but we are big fan a sweet breakfast now and then. A couple of years ago I made these totally awesome heart shaped pop tarts and we adore every single bite. Now that my daughter is a little older we decided to take them a step further and make them into heart shapes with cream cheese and strawberry jelly. We also added a fun red glaze and sprinkles! Boy, were they ever delicious! We will definitely be making these pretty pockets again on Valentine's Day.

Try substituting vegetarian protein, such as tofu, for meat once a week. As we continue February's Doable Challenge to eat for heart health, this week I'd like to focus on fat (after all, today is Mardi Gras, aka Fat Tuesday). Dietary fats can be divided into broad good and bad categories, with the good including polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in plants, including avocados and nuts, as well as some animal sources such as fish. The worst fat, trans fat, is found mostly in packaged foods and has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease.

They can still include it in small amounts (less than .5 g per serving) without labeling for it, so it's best to also steer clear of foods with "partially hydrogenated oil" listed on the label. The other bad fat, saturated fat, is found mostly in animal products, including meat, butter, and cream, as well as in

A challenge for competitive eaters with a craving for cow, the company got a bigger response than they expected. “It’s crazy. We had one guy eat it in less than two minutes,” Gillian Maffeo, director of marketing for parent Jake’s Franchising LLC, told Burger Business.

This week the company announced that the Triple Triple was here to stay. As of March 1,
