Dh has high cholesterol and high blood pressure .

I've already more or less eliminated salt (because of the BP) and we eat meat probably twice a week (because of ££). Otherwise, thankfully, we have no special dietary needs. Does anyone have any suggestions for low cholesterol recipes which are easy, cheap and tasty ?

I just took my regular recipes and made changes to them.   I use olive oil for everything even sweet breads. Switching from a higher fat dairy to a fat free dairy helped a lot and in recipes I didn't even notice. I use oat flour for nearly all baking except in yeast breads. Eating oatmeal really helps. One can only eat so many bowls of oatmeal so I make breakfast muffins with oat flour. There is a book Lower Your Cholestoral 40% in 8 Weeks. Something like that. I can look it up if your interested. Substitute a natural maragarine for butter. Earth Balance tastes pretty good. HTH, Valerie

I don't have a specfic recipe, but I make lentils and rice and sub for ground beef in enchiladas, shepherd's pie, sloppy joes, etc. You can't make meatballs with it, but I HAVE made burger patties with it! (Great Friday recipe, too! LOL).

1 lb. dried lentils, 3 c. brown rice, about 12 c. water, simmer for 45 minutes. Makes a HUGE pot enough to last all week.

Also, smart balance has a butter subsititute that contains no trans fats and it's pretty good.

I make waffles with oats - www.suegregg.com has a blender batter recipe, and I use oats and brown rice and grind them in the batter in my blender.

A good breakfast is to make oatmeal, add a cup of yogurt (whatever flavor you like), top with walnuts.    That's what I ate when I was diabetic.

Bragg's Liquid Aminos, available at health stores and online, are a great substitute for soy sauce and add lots of flavor.

HTH!
