Healthy Eating with Heart Disease

I would like to know where I can get more information about cooking heart healthy.

I have tried the American Heart Association, but can not give me any suggestions for hispanic orgin cooking. All the cooking I do in my home is Mexican cooking that is high in fat, cholesterol, and salt. I was browsing through the forum list and came across this forum and decided to post my message to see what suggestions may come my way.

Here is another site that has a recipe section for Latino cooking that might offer some ideas.

I find myself turning to allrecipes.com frequently for recipe ideas or variations. You also might investigate substitutions for some of the not-as-healthy ingredients used and creating you're own variations of the traditional cooking. One analogy would be using applesauce instead of oil in a baked goodie. You might try doing a websearch for vegetarian sites for hispanic recipes--they tend to have all-around healthier recipes and should at least provide fodder for further brainstorming.
