Book Overview

From the American Heart Association, 150 healthy, flavorful, easy-to-make recipes that the whole family will enjoy

Searching for meals that are not only appealing to the whole family but also nutritious, tasty alternatives to convenience products and fast food? The nation's most trusted authority on heart-healthy living presents nourishing, delectable recipes to please the palates of family members of all ages. Since the main dish is usually the starting point of meal planning, more than half the 150 recipes in this book are for entr es.

With American Heart Association Healthy Family Meals, you'll be serving healthy, flavor-packed dishes to your family every night of the week. Chapters include:

- Busy Nights recipes, like Pesto Presto Sirloin and Spring Rag with Spiral Pasta, which are especially quick and easy to prepare--each of them can be made, start to finish, in 30 minutes or less.
- Plan-Aheads, which offer recipes that require somewhat more time and steps such as marinating and chilling Tandoori-Style Chicken or using a slow cooker for Southwestern Beef Stew, but let you get a head start on a meal when it's convenient for you.
- Cook Once, Eat Twice recipes that give you the benefit of having planned-overs instead of leftovers. For example, Roasted Salmon with Cucumber Lime Sauce provides enough cooked fish for tonight, plus more for Salmon Cakes with Lemon Caper Sauce later in the week.
- Everyday Dinners recipes that provide tasty dishes, including Pomegranate Walnut Chicken and Curried Shrimp Risotto, which your family will want over and over again.

Beautifully designed and sprinkled with dozens of vibrant recipe photographs, American Heart Association Healthy Family Meals also includes information for the educated shopper, the smart cook, parents with picky eaters, and more. With plenty of tips and ideas on how to create a healthy food culture that will set your children on a path to eating well forever, American Heart Association Healthy Family Meals is the must-have healthy family cookbook.

heart healthy cookbook

I purchased this book as a gift. My sister had checked it out of the library and loved the book; so I bought it for her for her birthday. She has loved all the recipes she has tried.

Great purchase!

Great book after reading it at the library. Good recipes & couldn't resist keeping it in my cookbook collection. Came on time, packed well, it was used, but was in excellent condition - you would never know it was used.

New Year's Resolution-friendly!

If your New Year's resolution includes being healthier, there's a new cookbook to help start you on your way. //Healthy Family Meals// provides basic recipes that will improve the way you eat. The book covers every meal of the day, including snacks and desserts. Because it's put out by the American Heart Association, they want you to succeed. So they've included chapters with meals that are easy, fast, and, in some cases, provide enough leftovers for a second night. They also include recipes you can make with the kids. After all, eating healthfully should be a family affair. Don't think that you'll have to substitute health for flavor. Recipes include Bean & Potato Enchiladas, Popeye's Special Lasagna, Crisp Catfish Fingers (baked instead of fried), and even Chicken Nuggets. Instead of removing flavor, the recipes remove unnecessary fats, salts, and cholesterol. Ingredients call for extra lean cuts of meat, no-salt-added canned goods, and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. You'll also find lightened recipes for classic favorites like tuna casserole, chicken pot pie, and even cheesecake. For standard recipes that are easy on the heart and full of flavor, pick up a copy of //Healthy Family Meals//. Reviewed by Amber K. Stott

Great Recipes! And oh, so tasty!

I actually came across this book at the library. I love to check out cookbooks at the library to try out before purchasing them. There have been more times that I've purchased cookbooks that turned out to be a flop. But in this case, every recipe I tried was great! Our whole family loved the recipes. I have picky kids and they were content with the recipes I tried. The Chicken Parmesan was so easy and so tasty. So was the Blueberry Crisp. One of the things I liked about this cookbook was that not only did it include the nurtrition facts per serving (calories and fat content) but it also included ideas as to how to make it a meal. How many times have you made something and tried to figure out what to pair with it? For example, on the chicken parmesan, the book suggested to pair it with whole wheat spaghetti and a spinach salad. For the fiesta cobb salad, the book said to make it with whole wheat breadsticks, and bananas combined with unsweetened frozen peaches. What great ideas! I loved this cookbook so much that I ended up buying it. It's great to have a cookbook dedicated to making families healthier. And it actually has recipes that families would love. You won't be disappointed!
