Editorial 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
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!

I just have to say, I've made several of the items in the book and have loved them all. Easy to make. All of the ingredients are listed (with some tips too). Nutritional info is provided. Great book. Not like the original, but provides some wonderful alternatives if you're trying to eat healty.
Rating: - GREAT COOK BOOK
THIS IS A WONDERFUL LOW FAT, GREAT TASTE, BOOK, EASY RECIPES AND THEY ALL TASTE WONDERFUL.
Rating:  - Easy recipes, but not so healthy
I really wanted to love this cookbook, especially since the color photos are appetizing, the food is quick and easy to prepare, and most of the recipes seem comforting. However, since this book touts itself as health-conscious, I cannot praise it. Too many of the recipes called for processed ingredients, e.g., bottled sauces (full of artificial thickeners and preservatives), seasoning packets (loaded with MSG/salt and man-made chemicals), ramen noodles (unhealthy trans-fats), even artificially-flavored ...

Rating: - Quick Healthy Meals
This is a great cookbook for working moms - the meals are very healthy and most of them can be whipped up in a half an hour or less. Some of the recipes, however, come out quite bland, which is why I gave the book 4 stars. Through trial and error I have learned which recipes need an extra 'boost' - although most recipes are really quite good. It's nice to be able to put healthy meals on the table, that is important to me and why I love this cookbook.
Rating: - Yummy and Healthy
No more thumbing through other cookbooks, searching for the dishes that sound healthy. When we cook recipes out of this book we know we are eating good. Like with most cookbooks, I've picked a few favorites and pretty much ignore most of the book. Some of the recipes just don't sound very intersting. But I like how each recipe lists preparation and cooking time. This is the perfect cookbook for busy, working families who want to be assured they are serving up healthy meals. The recipes are easy to ... Read More
