Question about WW.... Are their recipes

heart-healthy? I'm trying to find recipes good for the heart or at least not bad for the heart. Are theirs?

It depends on what you mean by heart healthy. If you are talking about a diet to improve a certain condition (cholesterol or high blood pressure) then not all of them are.

Usually a heart healthy diet is made up of the following:

8-10% of the day's total calories from saturated fat.
30 percent or less of the day’s total calories from fat.
Less than 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol a day.
Limit sodium intake to 2400 milligrams a day.
Just enough calories to achieve or maintain a healthy weight and reduce your blood cholesterol level.

So you would have to figure out based on the nutrional values of the recipe if it would be considered heart healthy.

I have the New American Heart Association Cookbook and the Betty Crocker's low fat low cholesterol cookbook because DH needs to watch his cholesterol levels and those are two books that would be considered heart healthy cooking. You can probably get a bunch of cookbooks from the library and see what you like.
