Product Description:
Everyone knows they should be eating a healthy diet, following the Food Pyramid, reading nutrition labels and watching their fat and calorie intake, but sometimes it just seems too hard. How do you change the habits of life time, satisfy the whole family and not spend hours in the kitchen? With Betty Crocker.
Betty Crocker has done all the work, creating recipes that are easy to use, and taste delicious. Afraid that your local supermarket won't have what you need? Not with Betty Crocker. The ingredients are easy to find, and the recipes deliver no-fail, no-fuss meals sure to please the whole family. You'll use the more than 400 delicious recipes every day, for every occasion. Looking for entertaining ideas? Try Lamb with Yogurt Mint Sauce, Tequila Chicken with Fettuccini or Peking Fish. Want a great dessert that fits into a healthy eating plan? Throw out the guilt and dig into Chocolate Cherry Cobbler, Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Pie or Mississippi Mud Bars. Just need something fast at the end of a long day? You'll love Skillet Calzones, Southwest Fajitas and Italian Chicken Stir-fry.
Each main dish recipe has only 400 calories (or fewer) and 12 grams of fat (or fewer). There's also complete nutrition with each recipe so you can monitor calories, percentage of fat from calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, fiber and protein.
Plus, there is a lot of great information to help you with your healthy eating goals. First you can learn about the changing nutritional needs of your family -- from toddlers to grandparents -- and how you can meet those needs effectively. Learn how to use the Food Pyramid to ensure good eating habits and how to read nutrition labels properly. Finally, try out the two weeks of menus to jump-start you into healthy eating -- everything is all planned for you.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Betty Crocker Cookbook
As a health conscious person, always interested in calorie count, etc, this book has all the information you need for each receipe. A lot of other cookbooks don't have that.
Rating:  - Good health cooking: would that there were more recipes
This cookbook certainly does one thing well--providing over 400 recipes that are reasonably health AND tasty. Main dish recipes contain relatively few calories and have low fat levels. The type face is large and easy to read; the color photographs give a sense of what the dishes would look like.
Up front, and in keeping with the cookbook's theme, is a nice essay "All About Healthy Eating." One positive feature (on page 27) is a table of suggested healthy weights for adults.

Rating: - Excellent recipes
This is the second healthy cookbook that I've purchased and this one is far better than the first. It has a lot of really good recipes. Most all are for 4 servings and easily cut in half for two. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: - AWESOMELY FAST
THE BOOK CAME FAST AND IN PERFECT CONDITION TOTALLY RECOMMEND THE SENDER. THANKS
Rating: - Excellent book
I love to cook. But, I was looking for a book to keep the flavor without a lot of fat, sugar, and salt. This book covers it all. You don't have to buy a lot of expensive and hard to find items and most of them, you probably already have around (honey, pepper, ketchup, mustard, etc). My favorite is the Korean Barbeque Beef. I substitute it with chicken and toss it with rice. Even my picky kids love it. This is a wonderful book to have.
