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.

And don't forget, as a subscriber you receive some additional perks. We've made searching for the original recipes from our makeover section and our serving suggestion dishes from "Easy. Healthy. Everyday." a cinch. Just use the links below to find to them.

Enjoy and happy cooking,

Hello again from the Healthy Cooking staff!

It's been about a month since you received the premiere issue of Taste of Home Healthy Cooking. We've heard from a number of you, and we truly appreciate your feedback! In fact, based on the response to the Custom Fit article on Celiac Disease (p. 56), we've started a new online community group called the Gluten-Free Zone. Join now to share recipes and tips that support a gluten-free lifestyle!

This newsletter is your mid-issue update, and we're happy to share some great new features to supplement the magazine. To keep a "spring" in your step, check out the five terrific side dishes and the gorgeous berry desserts. Both feature fresh spring produce with a lighter touch.

If you're looking to shake up your suppertime routine, you'll love the five new chicken recipes, each with 225 calories or less. For more info on making the souffles on pages 28-30, watch our easy video with a step-by-step guide. And, if slimming down for summer is on your agenda, make sure to read the tips on controlling hunger.

We're hard at work on your June/July issue, so you'll want to stay tuned. And, of course, don't forget to visit the Healthy site we sponsor. It's updated frequently—you don't want to miss a thing!

Enjoy and happy cooking,
