Let me be the first..

to say probably all of us can benefit from this forum!!  Let's see what you got.

We need some good recipes here please.

Has anybody see the new TOH Healthy Cooking (or Eating...I forgot) magazine? I haven't but since I have not been too happy with TOH and Simple and Delicious lately I'm unsure if I'd like it. Any opinions?

I believe the "Healthy Cooking" magazine is "Light & Tasty" renamed.  I subscribe to "Taste of Home" and "Simple and Delicious" and have to say neither of the two are thrilling me lately, I won't be renewing my subscriptions to either of them.  HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE "Light & Tasty", I use it several times each week, and I rarely find a recipe I wouldn't make again.  The one thing I DON'T like are the recent addition of ads to the magazines.  I realize printing costs do go up, but I'd rather pay a little more for the magazines than have ads becoming part of the magazines.  Linda N.

I received my first copy of Heathy Cooking yesterday.  I feel it is a wonderful change with so many new features that are educational in addition to many recipes that fit into any lifetstyle that tries to live and eat healthy.  I especially like the nuggets of healthy information at the end of some of the recipes.  Any change is always an adjustment and I think with time you will all come to love this newer version of a healthy cooking magazine.

I just rec'd the revamped version of "Light & Tasty", now "Healthy Cooking".  I do very much like the name change of the magazine, and one peek inside told me I'll LOVE this the new version even more than the old.  I have already flagged many recipes I'd like to try in the next few weeks. 

the one thing I wish they would have done for the online recipes is not only put what magazine it came from but which issue..it is so hard to tell if I have that recipe already and I have to dig thru all of them..then I will just print it off and then later find that I have that same recipe.

I don't like the new "healthy cooking" magazine at all. And I especially hate the layout/decor of the clip & keep section, the way the recipe cards are now vertical instead of horizontal. I have recipe card boxes full of TOH recipes and I can pick a category and skim through the recipes, looking at the recipe name first. The "vertical" design of the clip & keep recipes won't work in my recipe boxes any longer because now the recipe names will be on the left side of my card boxes instead of right on top, which means I'll have to tilt my head sideways to read the recipe name or pull it out of the box altogether.

Sorry, but I won't be renewing. 

I don't like the new "Healthy Cooking" magazine either.  Bring back Light and Tasty!  Why fix something that wasn't broken?  I loved Light and Tasty the way it was and I don't understand the need to change it.  I actually haven't counted but it seems like less recipes in the new magazine (maybe just less that I'd actually make).  I think the recipes are harder to read in the new magazine as well.  I'm undecided if I'm going to renew my subscription or not. 

I totally agree, and I have written to them several times requesting this information, but to no avail... I'm not happy about the new website, I find it hard to navigate and can't find what I want.  The Light and Tasty webpages were bright and cheery and had alot of information on the home page, this one is very blah...

I must say I absolutely LOVE the magazine. I recently started a diet (WW) and am looking for low fat low cal high fiber dishes. I actually went through the magazine last night and calculated the point value on each of the dishes I am interested in and not a single dish was over 7pts. that is WONDERFUL to me. I get several "light" or healthy magazines and I love this one!!!!! The .com notes are helpful. There are not near as many adds as in other magazines, the make over recipes help SO much! It is so encouraging knowing I can make small changes and still eat the food I love!

I have been a subscriber since the very first issue of Light & Tasty and have always loved the magazine.  I don't care for the changes either and it does seem to have fewer recipes.  I find the print hard to read and the look of the pages unappealing.  I do like the vertical clip and keep recipe cards but probably because I don't clip them.  They are easier to use if you keep them in the magazine, since it's easier to keep the magazine vertical.  I can see where they would be difficult to file in a recipe card box though. I too find the new website hard to use, especially when searching for a recipe.  I can use the back button on my browser but then have to scroll down each time (through the ads) to see my list, probably that's intentional....hopefully Reiman will listen to some of this feedback and make the necessary changes.

Is anyone else having a problem bringing up your recipe file that you have saved recipes in?  I am so disgusted with this Taste of Home site I am cancelling my magazines and i really like them, I do agree with some of the responses, they have gone way out lately.  I cannot get past the security box when I go to sign in and then I can't get out of my computer?
