Tasty Surprises Twitter Giveaway

[Guest guest]

From adding shredded carrots to meatloaf to using zucchini strips instead of

lasagna noodles, we all have our favorite tips to improve the nutritional

profile of our favorite foods. Now The American Heart Association is rewarding

creative substitutions and additions in its Tasty Surprises Twitter Giveaway

where followers will have a chance to win prizes like a top-of-the-line mixer

($300 value), other kitchen supplies and cookbooks.

The four-week Twitter giveaway, hosted by @AHA_Nutweetion

(http://twitter.com/aha_nutweetion), asks you to share tips and photos of the

substitutions to improve the nutritional quality of your favorite dishes. The

Twitter follower with the most votes on their picture and tip will win. Each

week will focus on a different tenet of the AHA's nutrition guidelines,

including:

* Lowering saturated and trans fats

* Reducing sodium

* Eating more fruits and vegetables

* Increasing consumption of fiber-rich whole grains
