Magazine Day

Every month, when the new issue of Cooking Light magazine comes out, Alysha of The Savory Notebook lists all the recipes she'd like to try from the issue. It's a good idea. Other than the occasional recipe, I haven't been cooking a whole lot from my magazines, which is a shame since I get several good ones. So today I thought I'd play along with Alysha. I am going to make a list here of Cooking Light recipes that I'd like to attempt, followed by a list of recipes from Eating Well.

Will I get around to making them? That's hard to say. Although today Andy did officially head back to work- 4 months and two days after being laid off, so in the weeks to come I will be able to allocate more to the grocery budget. That means more cooking for me- which of course means more fuel for the blog. Here is my list- and if you'd like to play along, head on over to The Savory Notebook and let Alysha know. She would love to link your list with her list.

Coming up tomorrow- another cookbook checked off my list by a favorite Iron Chef of mine- Cat Cora. Stay tuned!
