I bought this cookbook in 1997 and thought I would write about one of the recipes that's still a favorite in my "rotation". I've adapted it a bit from the recipe on page 195. I make a marinade using juice of 2 limes, coriander, cumin, etc., with which I marinate some shrimp for an hour or so. In cold-pressed peanut oil in my large non-stick saute pan, I saute a chopped red onion, add some chopped red and orange peppers along with some minced garlic. After they are all tender, the shrimp and its marinade go in, plus a little chicken or vegetable broth, then simmer over low heat. Add some chopped cilantro and two cut-up avocados. Serve over brown rice. My spouse and I both love it! And it's healthy too! I'm making it today; I just put the shrimp in the fridge to marinate.

Everyone wants to learn how to balance healthy eating with delicious recipes without giving up ingredients that are readily available and ease of preparation. Thats just the information you'll find in Betty Crockers New Choices Cookbook. Complete with easy to understand nutrition basics as well as information on eating to curb common medical problems, this is the cookbook that will show you how to create a wholesome and delicious food plan for yourself or the family.

It seemed a little outdated. The cooking styles were just not what I was looking for.

I've used this cookbook for almost a year now and just realized that most of the recipes were low calorie, low cholesterol, etc. It's great. The meat recipes we especially like. The marinades are easy. Haven't had one that didn't hit the spot yet. Great purchase.

No matter what I've cooked in my life I always consulted one of the multitudes of Betty Croker cookbooks. This one is no different along with the fact that most of these dish accully have tast to boot.
