Last Minute Gift Ideas?

I just came across a great article from Health.com by MaryAnne Gragg – “Heart-Healthy Gifts from the Kitchen” – that I wanted to call to everyone’s attention. For those looking for a last-minute gift idea, the article includes information on two new cookbooks: “American Heart Association Healthy Family Meals: 150 Recipes Everyone Will Love” and “Keeping the Beat Recipes: Deliciously Healthy Dinners” from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. You have to know that anything written by these two great health/consumer-focused groups has to be top-notch. Both are known for helping consumers get healthy and stay that way.

I am very happy to see that these new books focused on both healthy and easy-to-make meals as those two sides are often difficulty to put together. All too often, quick and easy meals mean fast food or fatty foods.

In addition to the cook books and other recommendations for holiday gift ideas, the article includes a link to other healthy recipes from Health.com including Sangria, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and a Lighter Penne a la Vodka – these are healthy recipes I’ve got to get in on!
