It has been said the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
I would like to throw a twist into this saying by adding a healthy stomach leads to a healthy heart, which is the heart you want.
Nourish his heart and you nourish his soul. Men, this goes for women as well.
This week, try this heart-nourishing dish.

- 2 1/2 cups water
