Hello again and welcome to this month's Plus newsletter! With sunny days and warmer weather, our thoughts often turn to breezy meals enjoyed outside. For many cooks, summer is the ideal time to entertain. But, if you're like most folks, the thought of hosting a party brings a mixture of excitement in getting together with family and friends and fear over what to serve. No worries! With the June/July issue of Healthy Cooking, we've got you covered! You'll find tons of helpful tips and terrific, healthy recipes fit for any occasion.
Summer's also a great time to try the freshest produce and new flavors in easy meals. To keep menus refreshingly simple, check out our recipes with 6 ingredients or less. If you need some new ways to keep menus light, you'll love the great tips reader Dawn Bryant shares and her tasty, nutritious dinner. We've even provided a shopping list for her meal to keep your next grocery trip short!
Enjoy artichokes, but not sure how to cook them? No problem! Reader Josephine Piro shares her no-fuss method and a great recipe. And, if you or someone you know is lactose-intolerant, the tips and information in our "Custom Fit" article will be especially appreciated.
