Mourning the Loss and Celebrating a Favorite

Today it was announced that Gourmet magazine will be no more. Due to an "advertising slump" despite the large circulation numbers and rich history.

The good news is that Epicurious, the website that contains recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appetit, will live on.

Farewell, Gourmet magazine.


Okay, onto the celebrations. If you are busy, or if you are a mom (which would mean you are busy), or if you are on a tight budget, or if you like to eat but don't like to spend lots of time cooking, I would like to make a recommendation. Cooking Light's 5 Ingredient 15 Minute cookbook. I've had this book for several years and it has been a staple to my small collection of cookbooks.

Tonight we cooked the Sausage and Black Bean Soup with some cheese quesadillas. The recipes in the book stick to the small number of ingredients and are mostly true to the time you spend cooking. And even more importantly, the recipes are healthy and delicious!!!

Hope you're having a great week, and happy eating!
