Can I eat the picture on the cover?

It never fails, I am in the checkout line with my cart of groceries and I see the Cooking Light cover and I start to drool. I would trade my cart full of groceries right then for whatever wonderful food featured on that month's cover.

My husband learned over a year ago that he had dangerously high cholesterol and since then we have drastically changed our eating habits. I love to cook and sometimes miss those fat-laden recipes that I used to cook. Cooking Light has the answer. It has lighter versions of some wonderful recipes. It also has inspiration, food doesn't have to be bad for you to look and taste wonderful.

Some of the recipes aren't as "light" as we would like, but they are appealing and each recipe has a nutritional breakdown to help make choices.

There are also fitness, beauty and travel articles, so it isn't all about cooking, but these features are well done and usually tied into the theme of a healthy lifestyle.

There is a very good mix of recipes. Some are very simple things to make for the weekday supper and others are a bit fancier. There is always at least one recipe in each issue that I have to add to my recipe collection.
I don't think I can resist the Grilled Sourdough Cheddar Melt on this month's cover...
