Sara Lee Pound Cake Flower Power Recipe

Back in February, our charitable focus of the month highlighted that heart disease is the No. 1 killer among women in the United States. Sara Lee is also concerned about heart disease. That is why they are partnering with The Heart Truth Campaign to raise awareness of this issue and to encourage women to make heart healthy food choices. To support the campaign, Sara Lee Fresh Bakery is offering heart healthy sandwich recipes (using their nutritious breads) in the WomenHeart’s “All Heart Family Cookbook”. They will contribute one dollar for every cookbook ordered up to $35,000 to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease.

I had a chance to review the cookbook and it’s definitely worth adding to your library. Not only does it share 40 of the top “heart healthy” foods, but it also includes 175 healthy (and relatively easy to prepare) meal recipes. As such, I’m excited that Sara Lee is giving away a copy of the cookbook to three Mom in the City readers.

On a healthy dessert note, try out Sara Lee’s easy, seasonal “Pound Cake Flower Power” recipe below:
