April Issue - WOW!

[Jen]

I finally picked up my April issue (I'm not a subscriber, and here in Vancouver it doesn't hit the stands until the first of the month!), and I'm SO impressed! It struck me that there are a bunch of things from the issue that seem like they're directly off the "topics we'd like the magazine to do" thread..of course it's just a coincidence, since the issue would have been written ages ago! But there's the article on picnics (fits the hiking/camping/what to take for lunch question); a whole article on side dishes; lots of recipes that are written for, or adaptable for, two people; a large expanded 30 minutes or less section, with complete meal ideas; and lots of ethnic dishes. I've been feeling kind of low lately and finding it difficult to keep up my "healthy eating", but I feel newly inspired now! Thanks CL! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

I felt the same way when I saw this issue, that the editors had read our minds. There aren't as many recipes in this one that leap out at me, as compared to the Jan/Feb and March issues, but there are some interesting ones nonetheless.

I was particularly excited about the "30 minutes or less" meal section -- I plan to try them all. They look perfect for our family.
