Synopsis

With Betty Crocker, you can enjoy healthy eating every day! The 400 tempting recipes are full of real taste appeal, yet don't require extra effort or hard-to-find ingredients.

Are these really recipes your family will eat? Absolutely! Whip up Spicy Chicken Chili, Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna, Asian Noodle Salad or Lemon Steak Diane and top off the meal with Brownie Trifle, Caribbean Bananas or Tira Mi Su Coffee dessert. This is the food you'll want to eat every day.

Too busy to even think about changing your cooking habits? There's an entire chapter of express meals that are still healthy, and miles ahead of what you'll get from a takeout meal. No matter how hectic your life is, healthy eating is possible!

There's also great information on wellness and easy changes to painlessly incorporate healthy eating into your lifestyle. And every recipe has complete nutrition information that satisfies everyone's nutrition needs. We have also flagged the recipes to show those that are low fat, low sodium, low cholesterol or high fiber, to help make menu planning a breeze.

You know you've been meaning to do it--now you can! With Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices, healthy eating isn't tedious--it's terrific!

About this title

Review

For 75 years, Betty Crocker has delivered trusted culinary advice and recipes to millions of consumers. Now Betty's got a new look, she's lightened up her recipes, and she's sharing them with the world in Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices. As hokey as the title sounds, Betty's latest book (which was actually written by a team of editors, recipe developers, and nutritionists) is filled with sound, basic nutrition advice and information and over 400 appealing recipes for healthy everyday meals. Betty also includes wellness tips and a list of the top 10 foods for health, gives strategies for preventing major diseases, and even explores the mind-body connection. (Yes, Betty has taken up yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy.)

But the recipes are the stars of Healthy New Choices. There are sections for everything from appetizers, snacks, and smoothies to main dishes and desserts. This time around Betty includes vegetarian and ethnic entrees and lightens up classic favorites like Guacamole, Caramelized Popcorn, Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken Fricassee, and Rice Pudding by slashing fat and calories without sacrificing flavor. The recipes are quick, simple, and easy; require no special ingredients or difficult techniques; and are accompanied by nutrition information and diet exchanges. If you're short on time, trying to cook light, and tired of the dozen or so recipes that you regularly depend on, then Healthy New Choices will help brighten up your diet. --Ellen Albertson
