Food & Family
I just really like this little magazine sent out by Kraft. Everyday, simple foods that don't take a day and a half to make. Sure to please a family, or even just yourself and friends. Some of the recipes are very inventive.I'm sure that some on Top Chef would turn up their noses at it, but for using some basic everyday Kraft ingredients that most people have stored away in their food cabinets. And, yes, processed food isn't the best choice for everyday, but for some households it's the only way to go. (and, granted, i'm a Blue Box Mac'n Cheese fan, myself.)
