| 157 of 160 people found the following review helpful:  Almost 400 pages full of recipes, many under 200 calories, it's like 6 cookbooks in one, This review is from: Betty Crocker The 300 Calorie Cookbook: 300 tasty meals for eating healthy every day (Betty Crocker Books) (Paperback) Everytime I swear I won't cram another cookbook onto my bookshelf I leaf through something that seems to stand out among the other cookbooks I have, or is complete enough that it allows me to give away several cookbooks so that one can take its place.This is one such cookbook. Very extensive cookbook with around 300 recipes, it's divided into the following categories: Center of the Plate Savory Skillet Meals Casseroles and Pot Pies Meatless Main Dishes Sandwiches, Salads, and Pizzas Soups, Stews, and Chilies Slow Cooker Suppers Grilling Good and Easy 30 Min or Less Cooking for Two Which is why I say it's like having several cookbooks...if I'm in the mood to grill, I can pull this out and do it with fewer calories, if I have limited time, it still has recipes for me, if I don't want leftovers I use the cooking for two section, and I love the slow cooker suppers for those days when I want to throw...

I figured I'd get a few good recipes out of it like most books...I ended up with much more than "a few"! I have nothing but great things to say about the recipes. So far we've cooked about two dozen meals from the book and haven't been disappointed yet! I'm all about cooking quick and healthy, so if that's your style too you should enjoy this cookbook. It has moved to the top of my shelf for quick access! The best part, I don't have to worry about calorie counting...every meal in the book is 300 calories or less and clearly lists all of the nutritional information. I have occasionally exchanged a few of the frozen ingredients for fresh and added some additional spices but that's just personal preference. The best thing I've discovered about this book, besides the ease of the recipes, are the ingredients...most are already in your pantry unlike a lot of other cookbooks that require the purchase of a lot of...

There are sooooo many recipes in this book that sound delicious, and they are actually 300 calories or less.Once I started trying the recipes the results were very mixed. Some recipes such as the blue cheese burgers are delicious, and my whole family loved them. I think adding the oats to the burgers is genius, it makes it better for you and you can't even taste it. Then there are other recipes that just don't turn out tasting good. I made quite a few recipes that my family clearly told me not to make again. Some recipes were just throwing already done ingredients together, which can be nice on a busy weeknight but I don't need a recipe book to know how to add canned chili to cornbread. Another small complaint is I wish there were more pictures, but I always love cookbooks with lots of pictures. Overall this is a good cookbook,... Read more |
