keep your heart happy,

This review is from: American Heart Association Meals in Minutes Cookbook: Over 200 All-New Quick and Easy Low-Fat Recipes (Paperback)
i bought this book after my dad had a heart attack and i needed to cook healthier foods. the title isn't kidding when it says meals in minutes. there are four categories that the recipes fall into: new classics, planned-overs, shopping cart recipes, and express-ipes. planned-overs utilize left-overs from other recipes, shopping cart recipes only require six common ingredients and are easy to remember, and express-ipes only take a maximum of twenty-five mintues including prep time and cooking. at the top of every recipe it lists the serving size, prep time, and cooking time. at the bottom of each recipe there is a nutrional analysis that tells you the amount of calories, protein, fat, carbs, sodium, etc.

This review is from: American Heart Association Meals in Minutes Cookbook: Over 200 All-New Quick and Easy Low-Fat Recipes (Paperback)
This book has made it easy for me to plan and cook healthy meals on a regular basis. I have been pleasantly surprised several times by recipes I wasn't sure I would like. I never knew that healthy food could be so flavorful!
Besides having tasty recipes, this book is user-friendly. There are helpful preparation tips, and some recipes have variations or specific suggestions on how to use the leftovers in another dish. The use of "convenient" ingredients such as frozen chopped onion, bottled minced garlic, and canned beans means that many recipes can be put together quickly. I also appreciate the fact that I can choose any recipe and be assured that it's healthy--I don't have to think about it. On the downside, my regular grocery store doesn't carry a few ingredients, such as red lentils and no-salt-added canned beans. This means that occasionally I have to substitute ingredients (I just buy the lowest-sodium canned beans) or stop at a natural foods store. The book claims that all recipes require 20 minutes or less of preparation time, but that doesn't include cooking time--some recipes take hours to cook. I'm not particularly fast at tasks like chopping vegetables, so even the prep time often takes longer than 20 minutes for me. There are recipes that can be made from start to finish in a relatively short time, but certainly not all of them. On the whole, though, this cookbook is one of the best that I own. I heartily recommend it!

Incredible cookbook - the recipes are easy, using everyday "normal" foods, and very satisfying. Put away the rest of your cookbooks - my husband and I lost 50 pounds in 6 months. Stick with this, and you can't help but reach your weight loss goals! With less than an hour a day to devote to kitchen duties, we're able to bypass fastfood on superbusy days, knowing it's faster to cook at home.
