Chamber president announces
new program, membership
Hondo Area Chamber of
Commerce Board President
Glenn Klaus asked
to provide in this
week’s Chamber
Corner article say- O
ing, “A couple of Jf
things are begin-
ning that I am very
excited about.”
First, we are go-
ing to initiate an
Ambassadors Pro-
gram within the
chamber member- Area Chamber of
ship. This program Commerce Executive
will be conducted
by volunteer chamber mem-
bers who are interested in
promoting our great Hondo
community, projecting their
own business images and
(most importantly) having a
lot of fun while doing it.
From ribbon cuttings to
hosting welcome receptions
for out of town guests, I fore-
see this group as an integral
part of Hondo’s economic
growth (and did I mention
they’ll be having a
i i lot of fun?).
C/7amber The second item
that I am happy to
announce is that
The Hondo Are
Chamber of Com-
merce will once
again offer individ-
ual memberships
to those who want
to be involved in the
spirit and growth of
our city, but do not
have an entrepre-
neurial interest as such.
To express an interest in
either the Ambassador Pro-
gram or Individual Chamber
Membership (or both!), con-
tact Holly or any of our fine
staff at the Chamber office
located inside South Texas
Regional Training Center at
402 Carter St., phone is 830-
426-3037.

Heart healthy diet tips: rekindle home cooking WhfeHouse March 10-14, 2014
Washington
It’s very difficult to eat right
for your heart when you’re
eating out a lot, ordering in,
or eating microwave dinners
and other processed foods.
The good news is that you
can learn to make quick, heart
healthy meals at home. It’s
easier and less time-consum-
ing than you may think.
Heart-healthy grocery shop-
ping and stocking
Creating a heart-friendly
diet starts with stocking your
fridge with healthy and ac-
cessible foods. Prepare a list
before you head to the store
and leave a little time after
your trip to set yourself up for
success during the week.
Look at labels
While scanning the aisles
of a grocery store in the U.S.,
look for foods displaying the
American Heart Association’s
heart-check mark to spot
heart-healthy foods. This logo
means that the food has been
certified to meet the American
Heart Association’s criteria for
saturated fat and cholesterol.
Make healthy substitutions.
Choose substitutions like
1% or skimmed milk instead
of whole milk, soft margarine
for butter, and lean meats like
chicken and fish in place of ribs
or ground meat. These substi-
tutions can save you an entire
day’s worth of saturated fat.

Make foods ready-to-eat.
When you make healthy food
easy to grab during your busy
week, you’re more likely to
stay heart-healthy. When you
come home from grocery
shopping, cut up vegetables
and fruits and store them in
the fridge, ready for the next
meal or when you are looking
for a ready-to-eat snack.
Use your freezer.
Make healthy eating easier
by freezing heart-healthy foods
in individual portions. Freeze
fruits such as bananas, grapes,
and orange slices to make them
more fun to eat for children.
Be careful with portion sizes:
the recommended serving of
cooked meat is about the size
of a deck of cards, while a serv-
ing of pasta should be about
the size of a baseball.
Heart-healthy cooking tips
When you prepare and cook
meals at home, you have bet-
ter control over the nutri-
tional content and the overall
healthfulness of the foods you
eat. An added bonus: you can
also save money.

Create a library of heart-
healthy recipes. Stock up on
heart-healthy cookbooks and
recipes for cooking ideas.
The internet is full of food
blogs and websites devoted
to healthy cooking methods
and recipes, and a local library
can be a great source for cook-
books as well.
Use heart-healthy cooking
methods. Just as important
as picking healthy foods at
the grocery store is how you
cook those foods into healthy
meals. Use low-fat methods:
you can bake, broil, micro-
wave, roast, steam, poach,
lightly stir fry, or saute - using
a small amount of vegetable
or olive oil, reduced sodium
broth, and spices.
Cook just twice a week and
make food for the whole week.
When you’re cooking healthful
meals, make extra helpings.
Store as meals in reusable
containers - or directly on
plates - for easy reheating
and ready-to-eat food the rest
of the week. Cooking healthy
food ahead this way is perhaps
the most time-saving, money-
saving and heart-saving strat-
egy available.
