It’s resolution time again! According to USA.gov, the most popular New Year’s resolution is (drum roll please) lose weight! What a surprise.
If, like me, you make this same resolution every year, two new books may turn things around, and then maybe next year we can all resolve to reduce carbon emissions and promote world peace…

Summer is almost at an end and the High Holidays are quickly approaching. As usual, the big question on everyone’s mind is what to serve. I love the holidays but the usual fare is packed with calories and fat. Not this year. I’ll be preparing recipes from my new cookbook NORENE’S HEALTHY KITCHEN (Whitecap Books $34.95 Cdn, $29.95 U.S.) to serve at my holiday table.
Here are some delicious dishes that are heart-healthy, can be prepared in advance and are adaptable to serve both large or small families. You’ve been waiting a long time for my new book to arrive, and I apologize for the delay. I hope your family enjoys these dishes and they will become new traditions to serve at your holiday table.
I’ve also included many of my favourite cooking secrets and there are many helpful nutrition notes and lots of information about the glycemic index. The recipes are great for heart-smart cooking, for anyone watching their weight, and also for those who are on a diabetic diet. With 600 brand-new recipes to choose from, there’s something for everyone! You don’t need to sacrifice flavour for nutrition and there’s no need to convert the recipes to make them adaptable for the Kosher kitchen. It’s all been done for you.
Wishing all my readers a happy and very healthy New Year. From my healthy kitchen to yours, eat YOUR way to good health!

Review and recipes from Norene’s Healthy Kitchen
Many Montrealers learned their way around the kitchen with help from a friendly cookbook called Second Helpings, Please! I’m one of them – and since that time I’ve thought of former Montrealer Norene Gilletz, its editor, as a friend.
Clearly, I’m not alone.

The weather is quickly turning cooler and the days are getting shorter. It’s hard to believe that fall is finally here. When my children were young, they loved to go apple-picking, bringing home bagfuls of apples to use in all sorts of ways. There’s nothing like eating a crisp, juicy apple right off the tree.
Some people love their apples crisp and tart, whereas others prefer them sweet and juicy. Apples are very versatile and are popular in many desserts: they can be baked in crisps, pies, cakes, muffins or quick breads. My Baba Masha always had homemade applesauce in her refrigerator and baked apples were one of my favorite desserts.
