Last year for Christmas my mother-in-law gave me a subscription to the magazine, Cooking Light. I enjoyed getting the magazine each month and seeing the wonderful new recipes. However, I probably only cooked 1-3 recipes from the magazine each month.
Luckily, I saved the magazines and the recipes.
I even marked a couple recipes that I really liked, when the magazine was "new".
I was happy to fill in a couple nicer and more intensive dinners into our meal planning calendar for the weekends. I'm looking forward to homemade (slightly light) fried chicken later on this month.
I loved going back through the magazines and discovering new things to cook. The gift given Christmas 2008 is still being used in 2010.
What magazines do you like to read for recipes? I like Cooking Light, Clean Eating and Weight Watchers.

OMG that sounds awesome!!! I just bookmarked that recipe. :)
I always see good recipes in mags like Shape and Fitness but never give them a try. I forget to bookmark them and end up tossing them or passing them along to others. But I LOVE gifts that you can use anytime and continue to enjoy. Those are the best!
I like clean eating or cooking light. Or I just check out allrecpies.com and look for light version of recipes.

I have every Rachael Ray magazine since it started, and I think I've only cooked five recipes! I keep them on my bookshelf though, and sort through them seasonly.
I like cooking light- I need to subscribe! I subscribe to all of the health magazines and each month I dog ear the recipes I want to make and rip out the pages and place them into a folder. They usually just sit in a drawer. I need to go through them, thanks for the reminder!
I always want to cook the recipes from the magazines, but then I forget. I always play around on google with recipes and then bookmark them in by recipe folder. I am going to have to try out some in the magazines.
I used to have a Cooking Light subscription, but I did not use the recipes all thay much, after going vegan.
I still find their website pretty useful.
Vegetarian Times is my favorite recipe magazine.
I love all of the magazines you mentioned. Lately I have been finding a ton of recipes on blogs. I've started to keep track of all of them in a separate binder. Usually with magazines I pull out the recipes I want and file them. Otherwise I would have a stack of magazines overtaking my house!!
I do love Southern Living... which along with Cooking Light, is published right here in my home town! And every Christmas my mom and dad give me the Annual Recipes cookbook, so I don't have to keep all the magazines! I do a lot online, too!
Cooking Light is one of my faves. I love how they have different articles in there, too - from fitness to general health, it's just interesting!
I subscribe to SHAPE. I love how magazines are a gift that keeps on giving! I tear out pages and refer to them years later!
