BOOK 32: Betty Crocker's Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cooking Today


Rating: 5 stars

Cover synopsis: Do you want to eat a healthy diet, but don't want to give up on taste? These easy-to-prepare recipes are all designed with the new health consciousness in mind. With Betty Crocker, it can't only be simple to make -- it has to taste great. These 120 recipes prove that healthy eating can be enjoyed by the whole family.

This is another in a series of cookbooks I've been reading. Many were just perusals, but I read this one cover to cover, and flagged at least 30 recipes I want to try soon. I bought a copy of my own, I liked it so much.

This book is great because not only are they healthy recipes, but they're not complex. They don't call for strange ingredients, they don't take 2 hours to prepare and they're things I can actually imagine my kids eating. I'll be making the cornmeal-crusted catfish and the maple-glazed chicken this week.

Plus, there's a recipe for chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake in here. Fire up the oven!
