iHeart Your Heart



Love your heart, and your heart will love you back.  The American Heart Association has just released its 5th edition cookbook (Formerly titled American Heart Association Low-Fat Low- Cholesterol Cookbook) to help you eat and live well.  

Healthy Fats, Low Cholesterol Cookbook offers you healthier versions of your favorite comfort foods without sacrificing taste.   For example, instead of a pastry crust for that chicken pot pie, the AHA suggests mashed potatoes.  Broiling the eggplant for eggplant parm and using some tofu and egg whites to supplement the low-fat cheese increases the protein and reduces the fat.  For those of you with a sweet tooth, no worries, you will find recipes for desserts that hit all the sweet notes.  Desserts like chocolate mini-cheesecakes, banana foster plus, strawberries romanoff.  

This cookbook also includes several helpful appendices.  One is on healthy cooking strategies emphasizing high flavor and low fat.  Another is one healthy shopping strategies and gives tips on how to read labels.  Other appendices include recognizing risk factors and warning signs. And of course, since most of us dine out now and then, the appendix on healthy dining out strategies is most appreciated.

Eating well is easier than ever with this updated cookbook.  Each recipe lists per serving nutrition so you can fully commit to a lifestyle that helps you live long and prosper.

I received this cookbook from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
