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.
