Re: (...)
What books do you have and would recommend? The only one I have so far is the Sandwich & Salads one and there are a lot of good looking recipes in there. So far the only I've tried so far is the Hot Wings Wrap (but made it into a salad).
I have about 2 years worth of magazines. Are there any older books I would benefit from? Other than the grilling book mentioned this morning. Thanks in advance.

I only have two at the moment and love them both. I think some it is based on your needs. I have the Cuisine for Two because we are empty nesters, and the Weeknight Menus for those busy days when I need to make something quickly. The more I read on this forum, the more I want them all. My next one will be one of the grilling books since I use my grill year round.

Hi,
My favorite one is the soup one.

I have almost all of them and if I don't, I'm slowly being drawn in to get the one or two I don't.

I'm I could benefit from the Cuisine for Two and the Weeknight Menus since my son rarely eats my delicious dinners (he has Asperger's Syndrome and has a very, very plain palette and doesn't do well with textures) and once school starts, homework can very easily dominate from 4:30-6:30 if it's one of "those" nights.

I have most of them... I have been a subscriber from the start and have every issue, I only buy the cookbooks that have new recipes. But, I didn't buy the Low Carb cookbook or the Sandwich & Salad and the Tonight books because the last two are are a collection of favorites from previous issues. I just need to keep track of my up to date index so I can find what I'm looking for more easily. I use and like the first Weeknights book often, but I don't think you can buy it any more.

I just love the Cuisine Tonight and Cuisine for Two! I've made lots from both.

I just picked up a new one titled "Soups, Stews and Chilies" at Costco yesterday. Haven't had a chance to look through it yet.

kt, is that a Cuisine at Home book? I don't see it listed on the website. It sounds like it'd be a good one for fall.

Crap, I guess I was the second to get that book! (see Neener, Neener thread...
)
