A Healthy Brunch for Mom

Mday_050508_2 Mother's Day is coming up! Treating Mom to a festive brunch is a great way to show her you care. But instead of braving the crowds (and calories!) at one of those giant restaurant brunch buffets, why not prepare a healthy brunch at home? Here are several simple and delicious recipes from our sister site Epicurious.com, all featuring fresh ingredients that are in season right now.

Artichoke and Mushroom Fritatta

Asparagus, Peas, and Basil

Fluffy Baked Eggs with Roasted Vegetable Hash

Cauliflower and Feta Omelet

Egg Roulade Stuffed with Turkey Sausage, Mushrooms, and Spinach

At the bottom of each recipe, you'll find a link to a complete nutritional analysis, which you can save to your Nutrition Data pantry. 

For more healthy recipe ideas, our Healthy Dinner Tonight feature delivers a fresh new recipe to your email inbox every day, or subscribe via RSS and view them on your favorite blog reader or igoogle homepage.

Happy Mother's Day!

When discussing the cholesterol-lowering effect of oatmeal and oat bran, I told a friend that oat bran was a better choice because it has more soluble fiber per serving. But my friend said that it wasn't just the soluble fiber. She maintained that that there was a chemical in oatmeal that actually helps lower cholesterol better than oat bran. Which is correct?

C.,

As far as I know, the cholesterol-lowering effect of oatmeal are attributable to the oat bran. I'm not aware of another compound. But you learn something new every day. See if your friend can come up with a name for the chemical and I'll do more research!
