Happy May everyone! Now that spring has officially sprung, we know that everyone’s schedule starts to fill up this time of year! That is no different for all of us here at Living for Zachary. We are attending local health fairs, educational community events, hosting heart screenings, and donating AED’s almost weekly this month and in the months to come. Throughout these busy months, it becomes so easy to just pull over on your way home and pick up fast food or go out to eat instead of cooking something at home! This month, we wanted to share with you a quick and easy heart-healthy recipe that you can make to keep you and your family healthy while remaining on schedule!
