Book Description

December 2, 1996
Finally, here's what everyone has been waiting for: tasty Mr. Food recipes that are "a little lighter." And it was worth the wait! Mr. Food has always said that moderation is the key to better eating. Now, he offers 250 recipes with a little less fat, salt, and sugar, and fewer calories, yet still bursting with flavor! There's everything to make your mouth water, from T.V. snacks like Roasted Pepper Dip and Italian-Style Nachos to meal-starters and go-alongs including Honey-Mustard Dressing, Southern Slaw, Creamy Mushroom Soup, and Mixed-up Roasted Vegetables. You'll be surprised by how many of your favorite dishes are here, from Beefy Fried Rice and Mardi Gras Jambalaya to Turkey Pot Pie and Lemon-Roasted Chicken. Of course, there are some dynamite meatless recipes, too, like Carefree Vegetable Chili, Fresh Veggie Burgers, and Spicy Baked Linguine. And who said you can't enjoy yummy desserts without feeling guilty? Indulge in all kinds of treats, from Bite-Sized Chocolate Chippers to Apple Cream Pie. Mr. Food also shares extra-helpful tips on eating lighter at home and away, shopping smarter, and making sense of food labels. With a little moderation and a load of flavor, Mr. Food's lighter recipes are as packed as ever full of "Ooh it's so good!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Quick,Easy and lower fat yet still has Flavor!, January 11, 2002
By 
Cyndi "rnchackett" (North Carolina, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mr. Food-A Little Lighter (Hardcover)
I just got this book last night and can't wait to dig in!

This book provides wonderful sounding recipes with easy to find (read "standard pantry fare") ingredients. Most of the recipes are prepared and ready to eat in less than 30 minutes.

Some of the recipes include:

Strawberry Cream Dip

Jalapeno Cheese Bites

Great Garlic Soup - I'm making this tomorrow

Honey-Lime Fruit Dressing - Hmmm, I've got some bananas & apples that would be perfect for this...

Tandoori Chicken

Oniony Salisbury Steaks

Jamaican Pork Tenderloin

"Oven-Fried" Fish

Fresh Veggie Burgers

Spinach and Cheese Manicotti

** WHAT? You're still reading this? You should be ordering it instead! **

Did I mention the cookies, pies, cakes and parfaits?

Just because there are less fats and sugars doesn't mean it has less taste. Buy it and try it. I think you'll be pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sensible Goodness, August 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mr. Food-A Little Lighter (Hardcover)
Great, easy to follow recipes. I left off a star because it could have been made more healthy eating friendly by listing nutritional content.
