Containing more than three hundred delicious recipes that require less than 15 minutes to prepare, this informative, innovative cookbook is the active person's answer to eating right. You can lose weight, lower your cholesterol and triglycerides, decrease blood pressure, increase energy, alleviate allergies, and dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, and diabetes with food that is irresistible to the whole family - and quick and easy to make from start to finish. Created and tested by Mary McDougall, these recipes are truly delicious, especially for anyone trying to beat the clock and prepare a healthful meal. Begin the morning with Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal or Scrambled Tofu. For lunch, choose from dozens of soups and salads, such as Cajun Gumbo and Thai Cabbage Salada five-minute miracle. Or make a gourmet sandwich spread with Herbed White Bean Pate. Dinner can be a selection from pizzas galore, an elegant lasagne, a hearty Meaty Mushroom Stroganoff, or satisfying chilis. And don't miss the Speedy International Stew - only three ingredients, ten minutes to the table, and so good you won't believe it could be this simple. Finish off your meal with luscious desserts, including the Easy Fruit Tart - as delicious as pie and ready in (really!) two and a half minutes. All the recipes use familiar ingredients from the supermarket and come from a variety of ethnic traditions sure to excite even the most particular palate. The good news is that they cost far less than any meat- or fish-based menu. An updated "McDougall-Okayed Packaged and Canned Products" list helps you save even more time with suggestions for buying precooked and prepared foods that makes healthful eating a piece of cake (low-fat, of course).
