Following Holmdahl from the Philippine Insurrection, through the "banana wars" in Central America, onto the bloody stage of the Mexican Revolution and World War I, Douglas Meed captures the drama and adventure not only of Holmdahl, but of the United States' quest to become a major world power.
Holmdahl's adventures in Mexico shed new light on revolutionary activities and the struggle for power, including the death of revolutionary leader Francisco "Pancho" Villa. Meed suggests that Holmdahl may have been the man who opened Villa's grave, cut off his head, and sold it to a Mexican general.
SOLDIER OF FORTUNE is a fascinating account of a bygone age, and forms a distinctive addition to the annals of the American Southwest.
Now you can enjoy the flavors of a fiesta every day with these healthful, taste-tempting dishes from America's favorite low-fat cook. Betty Rohde shares dozens of her recipes for Mexican dishes, from traditional favorites to contemporary variations. Spice up your diet with:
Chicken Enchilada Bake
From hearty tortilla dishes and palate-tingling salsas to inspired accompaniments and light but luscious desserts, Betty brings the taste of Mexico to your table with all the vibrant flavor and none of the fat.

Mexican So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat.......2001-03-01
This healthy Mexican cookbook does not sacrifice taste for when getting rid of fat. I particularly liked the Green chile and pork stew which was hearty and spicy. It also contains some excellent seafood recipes.

You can eat low fat and not skip desserts with Betty Rohde's So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat Desserts, a collection of 180 low-fat and fat-free desserts. All are made with low-fat versions of common ingredients that you can find in your pantry or supermarket, such as fat-free margarine, egg substitute, light or fat-free cream cheese, and fat-free milk. Each recipe includes fat grams (but not total calories) and cooking time. Many recipes start with prepared mixes, making them quick and easy to prepare. For example, Pumpkin Puff Cake combines canned pumpkin-pie filling and angel-food cake mix, topped with a mixture of sweetened condensed milk, canned pumpkin, powdered sugar, instant vanilla pudding, and fat-free whipped topping. Total preparation and cooking time: 32 minutes. Fat grams: 0. "Hot Fudge Sundae Pudding Cake" has only 3 grams of fat in the entire cake--the "hot fudge" is brown sugar and cocoa. The most unusual recipe is "Faux Coconut Chocolate Cake"--the magic ingredient is sauerkraut!
Rohde shares her tips for modifying a high-fat dessert recipe: substitute cocoa for baking chocolate; add instant pudding mix to fat-free cream cheese for nonrunny frosting; substitute applesauce for oil; and keep fat-free frozen whipped topping on hand to thicken, thin, "fluff, puff, and stuff." --Joan Price

Customer Reviews:
A useless book if you don't live in the United States.......2005-04-16
I am an American living abroad and found this book near impossible to use because of the ingredients called for...fat-free cheese, fat-free salad dressing, Butter Buds, Lite Cool Whip??? I have therefore NEVER used this book. And I don't see what is so impressing anyway. If I really wanted to, I could take my Joy of Cooking and replace all the fatty ingredients to "fat-free" and use more spices instead of butter for flavor. Maybe this is a good book for those who are totally clueless about cooking and health, but other than that I wouldn't recommend it. It has been sitting on my shelf for 3 years, collecting dust. I think it's finally time I threw it out and made space for a better cookbook.
Good ol' American food..........1999-01-24
Having lived in California for most of my life, I am quite used to the trendy, healthy cuisines with costly ingredients you've never heard of. This book was a nice change. The idea is that all of the recipes have ingredients you could even purchase in a local grocery store in Oklahoma - where the author originates. I bought this book on a whim because it was in the clearance section of my local book store. I paid full price for the Italian version because the original was so great.
Rohde has given helpful tips in the front of the books for cutting fat out of recipes. Each recipe has the fat content and preparation time. The one thing that could use some improvement is cutting the use of refined sugar in the dessert section. Also, since Rohde is from the south I am guessing I won't see a vegetarian version anytime soon - too bad.
Who Edited This?.......1998-07-31
These recipes are great--realistic food for real people who haven't a clue what lemongrass is--but who edited this book? It's filled with rambling, pointless stories and just terrible grammar, making it handy to flip through but a painful read.
Great Idea But............1998-01-11
I have read many diet books in my time, but this one seems to be more realistic than most. The idea of significantly reducing the amount of fat we eat is much easier in this day and age. However, the authors remark of not watching the amount of food she ate is troublesome. Large amounts of even fat free foods will still cause weight gain. I was also concerned about the amount of chemicals you would be eating when you use a lot of the fat free products. The recipies looked delicious and they all were made of products that we all would find in our local supermarket. No bizarre ingredients that no one will eat, especially children! All in all it is a good book and easy to read.

Italian So Fat, Low Fat, No Fat.......2001-03-12
I have just started making recipes from this cookbook and enjoy the good tastes and seasonings, especially the Eggplant Lasagne. I did have a problem with one recipe, Chocolate Budino, and wonder if there is a mistake and if the author, Beddy Rohde, or anyone else has a solution. The cake/pudding part of it turned out fine, but the topping never melted in the saucepan, and was very dry on top. It seemed to need more liquid than the 2 Tbsp. Amaretto. Other recipes I've tried have turned out great!

Customer Reviews:
really good.......2006-08-12
I have her Mexican So fat, No Fat cookbook and I've found some really good recipes that I use often. I thought I'd try this one, and so far the recipes I've tried are really good.
What a great resource!.......2000-10-10
For anyone (like me) who knows very little about cooking has even less time do it, and does not like fast food or hamburger helper, this is a great book. It combines a practical variety of meals which taste much better than frozen dinners and don't take a lot of time to prepare. The ingredient lists are short and most importantly, you don't need a dictionary to decipher the various items on them. It is a very down-to-earth cook book and I have found it much more useful than the giant cooking encyclopedias and other recipe books I've bought in the past. So take a look at it and enjoy!
