Customer Reviews

This book is great!

This book has made it easier to find tasty recipes that I can eat. I am loosing weight but not feeling deprived because I can snack and even eat desserts and the recipes that I have tried from this book have been tasty and easy to make.

Recommended both for health libraries and diabetics.

The problem with snacks which are good for you is they seldom taste good as those not so good, and are usually more time-consuming to prepare. That's why SNACK ATTACK helps on so many levels: it offers speedy tasty snacks for adults and kids alike, pairing recipes with nutritional analysis for quick choices. From pumpkin pie-spiced Hawaiian Meatballs to Bean and Pasta Soup with Sausage, dishes have been modified for healthy results and offer plenty of easy alternatives to less desirable foods. Recommended both for health libraries and diabetics. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

One of My Favorite Cookbooks

The previous edition of this book is one of my favorite cookbooks. Before I got it, I was in a real snack rut. But Ruth certainly widened my appreciation of snacking. One thing I like is the way she gives you options. You can buy a crust for her Barbecued Chicken Pizza or make your own, if you're in the mood. It was fun to find out I could make things at home that I thought I could only get in a restaurant, like Egg Rolls and Pesto. There are even a couple of healthy versions of "Egg 'N Muffins." Some recipes are for things you eat right away. Others make bigger quantities, so you can eat some now and then have something yummy to pull out of the refrigerator-or enjoy snacking with friends.One chapter is devoted to food for kids. And there are all sorts of neat recipes designed to make it fun for them to eat healthy snacks. Two of the recipes are named "Celery Man" and "Aladdin's Pizza." And there are directions for turning canned pear halves into cute little mice.I also like the chapter on appetizers for grownups, like cocktail meatballs and chili con queso. When I bring them to parties, everybody loves them, and I don't have to worry about what I can nosh on, because these dishes are not only delicious but healthy.The new version adds some great recipes to the book. There's a cranberry orange tart that's going to be a standard at our family Thanksgiving dinners. Another new favorite is the sweet potato pie with a really easy low-fat crust. And I love the New York style cheesecake and the teriyaki chicken bites.

Delicious Snacks

This is a great recipe book. I've tried many of the dishes, and I've never tasted one I didn't like. I particularly love the sweets like the pecan buns, the vanilla custard, the pumpkin spice muffins, and the honey almond scone cake. But I also love the way Ruth has come up with healthy versions of some of my favorite snacks--like deviled eggs, guacamole, and nacho dip. I don't understand the comments I've read about strange ingredients. One thing I like about this book is that all of the ingredients are available at the grocery store.

Healthy, great-tasting munchies!

These munchies are not just for diabetics, they're for anyone who likes to snack on healthy foods. I especially enjoyed the Apricot Kuchen - I love apricot desserts! The recipes are very easy to prepare - and quick too.
