It is also the single most preventable cause of death.
The American Heart Association has defined seven health and behavior factors that impact health and quality of life. Known as “Life’s Simple 7,” these steps can help add years to your life:
1. Don't smoke
2. Maintain a healthy weight
4. Eat a healthy diet
5. Manage blood pressure
6. Take charge of cholesterol
7. Keep blood sugar at healthy levels
Every minute a woman dies from heart disease. That's one out of every three women dying from a preventable death.
In support of American Heart Association's Annual Heart Smart month, Chef Antonia Lofaso is working with Campbell Soup Company to help educate more than 42 million American women suffering from some form of heart disease.
Chef Lofaso shares her famous Panzanella salad from her acclaimed Los Angeles restaurant, Black Market Liquor Bar.

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients
3oz crumbled reduced fat goat cheese
6 cup arugula
6 tangerines, supremed (peeled and sectioned)
2 - 4oz butterflied chicken breasts
1/2 small red onion, shaved
4 pieces Pepperidge Farm® Whole Grain 100% Whole Wheat bread
1T extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
2T Campbell’s® Healthy Request® Condensed Tomato soup
3T chopped flat leaf parsle
4T freshly picked basil
2T chopped shallots (or 1t of chopped garlic if shallots are unavailable)
1/2 tsp salt & pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 250F. On a medium baking sheet, brush 2 tsp olive oil on PepperidgeFarm 100% Whole Wheat bread and allow to dry out in the oven for about 15 minutes until bread becomes crisp to the touch. Break dried bread into 1/2 inch pieces about the size of a large crouton and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together vinegar, Campbell’s Healthy RequestCondensed Tomato Soup, shallots and chopped parsley. Slowly stream in remaining extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
Prepare 2 - 4oz butterflied chicken breasts. Season with 1/2t salt and pepper and coat
lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts on a suitable high heat baking sheet and place in broiler on high for 3 minutes on each side. Allow to cool. Chop once cooled.
In a large mixing bowl, combine arugula, red onion, bread, chopped grilled chicken,
goat cheese and dress lightly with tomato vinaigrette. Garnish with tangerines and fresh
basil before serving. (We don't want the Tangerines to break apart so just lay them gently
throughout the salad to serve.)

Oven-Fried Chicken
Great news—crunchy, flavorful fried chicken can be
healthy with this oven-fried chicken recipe. We marinate skinless
chicken in buttermilk to keep it juicy. A light coating of flour, sesame
seeds and spices, misted with olive oil, forms an appealing crust
during baking. And with only 7 grams of fat per serving in this
oven-fried chicken recipe—rather than the 20 in typical fried
chicken—that is good news.

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 1/2-3 pounds whole chicken legs, skin removed, trimmed and cut into thighs and drumsticks
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Olive oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 1/2-3 pounds whole chicken legs, skin removed, trimmed and cut into thighs and drumsticks
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Olive oil cooking spray
Cooking Instructions
Whisk buttermilk, mustard, garlic and hot sauce in a
shallow glass dish until well blended. Add chicken and turn to coat.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or for up
to 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
Whisk flour, sesame seeds, paprika, thyme, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place the flour mixture in a paper bag or large sealable plastic bag. Shaking off excess marinade, place one or two pieces of chicken at a time in the bag and shake to coat. Shake off excess flour and place the chicken on the prepared rack. (Discard any leftover flour mixture and marinade.) Spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray.
Bake the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 40 to 50 minutes.

Cook's Tip
No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared
according to package directions. Or make “sour milk”: mix 1 tablespoon
lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.
To Make Ahead: Marinate the chicken for up to 8 hours.

Try this:
Use Mini Chocolate Chips, Not Chocolate Chunks
When your recipe calls for: milk chocolate chunks
Use this ingredient instead: 1/2 the amount of mini milk chocolate chips or finely chopped dark chocolate
Best used for: baking
Why substitute? Using mini chocolate chips means that every bite still has the sweet flavor, but by using less overall you cut the calories. If you sub dark chocolate (with 70 percent cocoa and cocoa powder) you gain flavonoids that help keep blood vessels clear and flowing. Dark chocolate also can increase levels of HDL, or "good" cholesterol, by up to 10 percent, according to a 2006 study in Finland.
Use Low-Fat Yogurt and Cottage Cheese, Not Sour Cream
When your recipe calls for: sour cream
Use this ingredient instead: equal parts low-fat yogurt and low-fat no-salt-added cottage cheese
Best used for: dips, salad dressings
Why substitute? The combination of the yogurt and cottage cheese gives your recipe lower fat content with the same consistency. If you choose the no-salt added cottage cheese, your dip will also be lower in sodium.
Tip on making the switch: Puree the yogurt and cottage cheese in a blender for a smooth consistency.
Use Marshmallow Creme, Not Butter
When your recipe calls for: butter or margarine
Use this ingredient instead: marshmallow creme
Best used for: Frosting
Why substitute?
One serving of marshmallow creme has no fat or cholesterol, compared
with the 11.5 grams of fat and 31 mg of cholesterol in one serving of
butter. Using the marshmallow creme will also give your frosting a
sweetened taste and thicker consistency.
*Note: The marshmallow creme will significantly sweeten the recipe. Add the creme gradually and taste it as you go. You may not need the entire measurement of creme.
Use Lean Ground Turkey, Not Ground Beef
When your recipe calls for: ground beef
Use this ingredient instead: lean ground turkey breast or meatless crumbles
Best used for: meat sauces, burgers, meat loaves, tacos
Why substitute? Ground turkey breast has less fat than beef. Meatless crumbles are a great vegetarian substitution; they also have four times less fat and zero cholesterol.
Burgers will pack more tightly and are less likely to crumble when using a 1/2 ground beef, 1/2 lean ground turkey breast ratio.
Use Evaporated Skim Milk, Not Heavy Cream
When your recipe calls for: heavy cream
Use this ingredient instead: evaporated skim milk
Best used for: custards, desserts
Why substitute? Use evaporated skim milk to remove the fat and calories of heavy cream while maintaining the consistency.
