WomenHeart's All Heart Family Cookbook
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, killing six times as many as breast cancer. What's worse, too few women realize the dire risk they face. WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, is an organization dedicated to helping women heart patients and those at risk for heart disease, whether they know it or not. Through an extensive support group network, they also help women who have heart disease live normal lives. And because dietary changes are often an important part of the recovery process, when their members gather, the conversation naturally turns to food. To help spread the news of their work, WomenHeart has created this one-of-a-kind collection that focuses on 40 key foods known to promote heart health that features a number of family-friendly recipes from their members. Packed with plenty of great-to-wake-up-to dishes like French Toast with Orange Cream and Lemon Blueberry Muffins, it also includes dozens of crowd-pleasing dinner favorites like Revamped Chicken Pot-pie, Beef and Vegetable Stroganoff, and Sesame Salmon with Spicy Cucumber Salad. In fact, in this collection, there's a recipe for every occasion, as well as 40 enticing photographs. Even better, this cookbook includes plenty of desserts, like Flourless Chocolate Cake, Summer Fruit Compote, and Raspberry Buckle, making it easy to see that fighting heart disease can mean indulging in the pleasures good food offers.
About Low Fat Cooking
Low Fat Cooking
Low Fat Waffles One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a Belgian waffle maker. So much to my kids' delight, I've been making waffles every weekend. Now waffles are not the most healthful of breakfast foods, but with a little tweaking, it's possible to make delicious low fat waffles such as these. Top t
Eat Right For Your Genotype How can we explain why two people following one particular diet program, whether it's low fat or low carb, have varying degrees of success? Well, a few of us have said for a while that one dietary approach doesn't fit all, and it seems that there is some substance to this. Preliminary research* c
Water for Chocolate If chocolate is your downfall, there may be some good news. Scientists at Birmingham University in England have developed a chocolate bar that replaces 60 percent of the fat content with water. It's bit more complex than it sounds: scientists employ a method that produces stable cocoa butter by conn
Spicy Turkey Meatballs Spaghetti and Meatballs is a favorite in our house, but it's not exactly a low-fat, low-calorie meal. I shave fat calories by substituting lean ground turkey for ground beef, and using a little less meat overall. To boost the nutritional value of the meal, I serve the meatballs with a low-sodium tom
Chicken, Kale and White Bean Stew Comfort food needn't be heavy and unhealthy. It can be filling and nutritious like this chicken, kale and white bean stew. I love the earthiness of kale, which adds its own flavor to this stew. Plus, it makes a nice change from spinach, which tends to be my default green. As for the white beans, I l
Cheap and Easy Rice and Beans If you keep your pantry well stocked, you're bound to have most of the ingredients called for in this easy rice and beans recipe. And if you don't, it's easy to switch a few ingredients here and there. What I like about this meal is that it's healthy, low fat and low cost. What more could you want?
Crêpes on (Low) Fat Tuesday Crêpes are thin pancakes which can be eaten in the same way as regular pancakes or rolled up with a filling of your choice. Traditionally, though, these are eaten with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. These are the kind of "pancakes" I used to flip on Shrove Tuesday
Soft Chocolate Cherry Cookies Some folks are very particular about cookies. There are those who prefer a nice, crisp cookie, others who prefer a slight crunch with a chewy inside, and people like me who enjoy soft, tender cookies. And to me, soft, tender cookies seem to be just the thing to bake for your sweetie for Valentine's
How Much Are You Really Eating? How many calories did you eat for breakfast this morning? You may be tell yourself you ate a 110 calorie cereal, but unless you're measuring the suggested 3/4 cup or, in some cases, 1 cup serving, you may be pouring twice as many calories before you even add milk. If you ate one of those handy micro
A Low Fat Valentine's Day Menu Flowers are nice, chocolates are nicer, but dinner at home with my husband is what I like most about Valentine's Day. Quite honestly, it doesn't have to be anything terribly fancy, just something we both enjoy eating. The advantage of eating at home is that it's easier to stick with your health
