Product Description
If homemade meals at your house are being replaced by fat-filled takeout or microwaveables in front of the TV, you'll want American Heart Association Meals in Minutes on your cookbook shelf. More than 200 delicious low-fat, low-cholesterol recipes nourish your appetite for good food while respecting your hectic schedule. Whether you're balancing work and family, putting in overtime at the office, or simply wanting to restore the joys of home cooking to your table, here are terrific dishes you can put together without a lot of fuss and bother--and in 20 minutes or less.
With everything from appetizers, snacks, soups, salads, and sandwiches to main courses (including plenty of vegetarian options), vegetables, breads, breakfast dishes, and of course desserts, the emphasis is on ease of preparation and great taste. You can prepare many of these dishes with ingredients you probably already have on hand, making mealtime even more stress-free. In addition to one-dish and microwaveable recipes, there are four special "super saver" recipe types for when you're extra rushed to get dinner on the table. "New Classics" are basic main dishes that will become your new standbys, ready to dress up or down as you see fit. "Planned-Overs" are recipe "twofers" that use last night's leftovers in a creative new way for tonight's meal. "Shopping Cart" recipes require no more than six common ingredients and get you in and out of the kitchen in no time. "Express-ipes" are the quickest of the quick, taking merely 25 minutes or less for all the preparation and all the cooking.

 Too much canned soup in this book November 4, 2009
Noonski (Denver, CO)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are several great recipes in this book. The disappointing aspect of the book is that many of the recipes rely on already prepard/processed foods (i.e. canned cream soup, etc...) True, the recipes call for the 'lower-sodium' version of the soups, but, to try and be healthy, eating all the chemical crud that's in these soups seems like a dumb idea. So, while there are many recipes that I'll make (modifying the recipes to use non-prepared/processed foods), I probably won't buy any more of the AHA cookbooks.
 A waste of money June 26, 2009

Healthy heart recipes shouldn't include fatty meats like lamb and pork or other cholesterol laden foods. I've done better on my own diet.
I'm giving the book back to my physician who recommended I buy it.
 Great Recipes January 20, 2009

This book has a ton of great low-fat recipes that can be made in just a few minutes. I definitely recommend this to anyone.
Great choice! August 7, 2008

I decided to buy this book after my husband had a stroke and we had to start eating better. I tend to avoid cooking (my husband has handled almost all dinners for 13 years), but I knew that if I bought this cookbook, I would be the one using it. To say I am pleasantly surprised is an understatement. We have tried over a dozen recipes and we have liked them all. It feels great that we know we are cooking healthy and we are loving the meals. As for the comment that says there is too much fish - I don't know how they missed all of the chicken, pork, beef and vegetarian recipes. We don't fix the fish either because my husband doesn't like it and I avoid the bell pepper recipes because I'm not a big fan of that but there is still PLENTY to chose from. On top of all of that, I can attest that for a novice cook the recipes are clear and easy to follow. Definately a GREAT buy!
Extremely helpful ideas! June 30, 2008
Misty Thiel (Casper, WY USA)
This book was so helpful in trying to create great tasting yet lighter and healthier meals for myself and my family. My husband, who is a food-aholic actually loved several of the recipes I have made from this book so far! My two year old enjoyed them also and she can be finicky!
