Yummy Holiday Recipes from Food & Family Magazine

I love recipes that require only a few ingredients and are simple to prepare yet turn out tasting as if I’d gone to a LOT of work.

And that’s just one of the reasons I love Food & Family Magazine from Kraft Foods.

My husband and I both love this recipe for Baked Crab Rangoon that is featured in this year’s holiday issue.

Real Simple – My New Favorite Magazine

FRIDAY’S FOOD TIP

As a writer, I love to read. I read anything and everything – the backs of cereal boxes, billboards, and, of course, books and magazines by the carload.

I’d been eyeing this magazine (Real Simple) in the grocery store for months.

But I never opened a copy because I knew if I flipped through the pages I’d probably be hooked.

And did I really need to spend even MORE money to find out how to live with LESS?

I didn’t think so.

But a couple of weeks ago I finally “caved” when I was offered a free issue.

It arrived the other day in the mail and I finally got around to reading it last night.

Okay, so I was right – at least partially.

Some of the “simple” ideas ARE a bit strange and I’ll probably never try them – like using Alka-Seltzer to clean the toilet (I know…you think that one really IS a great idea and how can I not see it).

But I was surprised at some of the other great ideas.

Like turning those seldom used champagne flutes into a beautiful grouping of candle stands simply by flipping them upside down and placing large candles on them. (Look in the July issue of the magazine; the glasses really do make attractive candle holders that don’t scream, “we’re really champagne glasses turned upside down and used as candle holders.”)

Visit the website for Real Simple and find even more great tips, recipes, and ideas for making your life easier.

You can even get a FREE sample issue yourself.

But watch out.

You’ll be hooked.
