My Favorite Things Thursdays

Happy Thursday! Time for My Favorite Things Thursday linky party.

Silly Happy Sweet

So, one of my favorite things of all time is my subscription to Cooking Light magazine. If you're a current subscriber, you know what I mean! I get my magazine and sit down and pick out and dog ear the recipes I'm going to try out that month. I love that the receipes are so timely and usually include fruit that is currently in season.

I'm excited to try these lemonbars this month!

The Dinner Tonight section features fast weeknight menus and includes a "game plan" to help you ensure that you are efficient and have a healthy meal quickly! I'm excited to try this Chicken Tostadas and Avocado Salsa recipe. Delish!

The Super Fast section features 20-minute meals. I've got this Herbed Shrimp and White Bean Salad planned for this week. Twenty minutes? I'm there!

The magazine features a few vegetarian recipes (although many of the receipes can be altered to be vegetarian friendly) and a Feed 4 for Less Than $10 budget cooking section.

    That Avocado Salsa sounds amazing. I'm a huge fan of guacamole and I used to make bruscetta all the time...I haven't yet tried avocado salsa though. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy tonight's dinner!

    That sounds good, I know I should be cooking healthy foods too since I've been trying to watch my calorie intake. I have a few magazine subscriptions that I acquired for free! hehehe! I make use of mycokerewards so I can get them. And just recently I had a free subscription of Rachel Ray's magazine and it's nice coz there's tons or recipes in there too.

    Every once in a while my aunt will pass me a cooking light magazine. I really enjoy it. I recently got a free subscription to Every Day Food, and I really love it. Great recipes, and many of them can be made vegetarian.

    (I got the free sub through recyclebank.com if anyone is interested.)
