I'm making a dish for a friend (just had heart surgery) and his wife. I did not realize the restrictions, but other than Heart Healthy, they also dont like Pasta, Rice or Cheese...OUCH...there goes all my recipes. Any advice for a dinner or lunch menu? Thanks so much.

poached chicken breasts with a mix of roasted or puréed vegetables-- the poaching is great for keeping the breast meat from drying out, and when done right, the meat is almost silky.
a middle eastern platter: hummus, babganoush, tabouleh, tomato salad (though, where i live, tomatoes are out of season), and some whole wheat pita.
cheese-free pizza, using a base of a flavorful tomato sauce, grilled veggies, herbs.
i hope your friend recovers quickly!
