Wow, this is great. Thanks back tome I was about to ask this question myself. I was having the same problem. I find myself lugging dozens of diet books from the libraries around me only to find that msot of the recipes I would never eat. The ingredients are either to expensive the dishes to rare for anyone but me to try and the servings too large ( a frightening possibility when you have to deal with the fact that you may end up eating this entree for several days straight, simply because no one else will touch it).
One good book I've found was Evelyn Tribole's
Stealth Health. There were soem fancy recipes in this one too; however, there was a whole section devoted to trimming the fat and calories off of popular family favorites. Another good thing about this book is that its not about dieting. Its about nutrition and gettign your family to eat healthier. With cool little factoids and lists of helpful tips even if you don't cook any of the recipes the book will give you an idea of what foods you need in your diet to help you in thel ong run. After all, your diet shouldn't be aobut your weight but about eating the food that makes you feel healthy.
The American Heart association has a few books out there as well. Most of the recipes are a bit complicated though; however, if your library has them you may just find a few gems. Or you can check out their online edition at
