Tasty Tuesday #2: In a Rush, Lower our Cholesterol Edition

Well, we have been rushing around like crazy getting things in place after the floors got in. (Did I mention the floors?  No? Oh, well, you must see: Lookie!)  And then came the letter informing us that someone's (not my) cholesterol is worse than the last time it was tested when it was simply bad.  This person is not at all excited about making the changes needed, so I'm searching away for good ways to make little changes.

Last night, we made some polenta.  It was made with 2% milk, but we prefaced it with a salad, and used vinegar and a little olive oil for dressing, so overall it was acceptable.  Tonight's dish, pasta primavera, is another reason to be excited about having a garden next year so I can can my own vegetables for this.

This is easy enough that I'll just post pictures.  The blackish looking things on the left are frozen basil from my own herb garden.
