Hey everyone, check out this great new cookbook up for grabs to 3 lucky Picky Palate readers by Sara Lee. I have spent the last few days flipping through the book and it is incredible! It’s a beautiful hardcover cookbook, full of great photography and health conscious recipes. Here’s some info on the book:
Sara Lee is partnering with The Heart Truth Campaign to raise awareness of heart disease among women and encourage them to make heart healthy food choices every day to take care of their bodies and their families. One of the best things a mom can do for her family is take care of herself. One of the easiest ways to take care of herself is to establish a heart healthy eating routine.

I’ve always loved apples with peanut butter. It’s not always healthy (such as when I use more pb than apple!) but when I limit it to the serving size recommended, it’s a healthy way to get fruit and protein together. And delicious!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Honey Crisp Apples when they are in Season!!! That is the beginning of Sept thru winter.
I love all fruits and Veggies though!!!

this might sound goofy, but I love snacking on green apples! It’s great at tying me over until dinner is ready! : )
Fresh seasonal fruit, dried berries & yogurt…puts a smile on my face!!
I need to eat more healthy snacks… when I do, I eat a baggie of baby carrots with a dash of fat free Italian dressing to give it a little zing!
Oh I have so many favorites. I am a big fruit eater and could live off of Watermelon and apples if possible.
I recently have started to munch on Special K crackers. 17 crackers for 90 calories…not bad. And if I am adventurous I add a wedge of Light Laughing Cow Cheese (Garlic and Herb). AMAZING…it is a perfect afternoon snack to curb the afternoon munchies.
Anyways, great giveaway!!

I love that you can put fresh spinach in almost anything without altering the taste. My favorite healthy snack is a mixed berry smoothie with spinach and flax seed and a banana for the sweetener. Healthy but delicious!
We love smoothies at our house. We just throw some low-fat yogurt, ice, and fresh fruit into the blender for a delicious and healthy snack.
I love fresh pineapple. That’s my favorite, hands down!
Cheese and fruit are a favorite here!
Currently my favorite healthy snack is taking a few pieces of pita and dipping them in humus. YUM!
I love fruit. It’s easy to grab an apple or a banana.

Hummas with wheat thin crackers. I love hummas!!! I truely love almonds too for a quick snack at work.
Fruit – it's easy, delicious & extremely portable. Grapes, melon, clementines, bananas, pineapple, kiwi & berries are some of my favorite fruits to snack on.
One of our favs in this house is apple slices with pb spread on it topped with a crunchy granola!! Soooo good and easy!!
Raw almonds or light cherry yogurt, stashed in the freezer for about an hour before you enjoy!
I love fresh fruits and low fat cottage cheese on Reduced Fat Ritz crackers!
I love yogurt with granola. Crunchy and sweet.
I love apples with peanut butter!
Apples and string cheese are my quick go-to snacks.
I’m also a fan of trail mix.
I love hummus with pita chips.
Canteloupe with lowfat cottage cheese:) Or fresh pineapple!Thanks for the chance!
I love a handful of craisens and some almonds. A nice sweet and salty snack.
I have been loving spicy chipotle hummus with whole wheat pita bread or cucumber slices.
Hard for me to choose! I enjoy vanilla yogurt with granola. My second would have to be a fruit salad with some berries, yum!
I eat fruit and yogurt every day, and I snack on dried fruit and nuts at work – they help me avoid the vending machine!
I love a good variety of fruit– strawberries, pineapple, grapes– with yogurt dip.
Fresh pineapple (not the canned kind) with or without cottage cheese. YUM! Or carrot sticks with ranch dip (I use non fat sour cream)
Well, we love alot of healthy snacks around here. I am not too big on unhealthy snacks, actually. Chips just don’t do it for me. One thing my kids and I love is to mix cottage cheese with ranch mix and eat it on whole grain crackers.
we love vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit and granola! yummmy.
Lately it has been trailmix. Just a little goes a long way and seems to feel me up until dinner. I love all the different nuts and raisins. It gives you sweet, salty just a bit of everything.
My kids are big trail mix eaters, but don’t like the almonds or the cashews. They end up with me and I love them. But I think my favorite snack is a home grown orange from my grandparents front yard. California oranges are my favorite!
I love yogurt or frozen yogurt and cottage cheese with pineapple. Wonderful giveaway Jenny!!
I’m a huge fan of fruit salads. But Grapes and pineapple are my fav to snack on!
Light Laughing Cow Cheese wedge spread on celery! The Garlic and Herb variety is a BURST of flavor that completes the celery crunch—it’s not chocolate but it tastes great anyway.
