Paper Palate

Okay, maybe there are a few magazines I like better, but really, how can I pass up a free magazine filled with news bites, recipes, and the occasional good coupon or two?  While I have always loved grocery shopping, once I make my way through the checkout stand, I often buzz out of the store to quickly […]

I must confess, I had never heard of the Hippy Gourmet (apparently he has a PBS show), but his cookbook, (The Hippy Gourmet’s Quick & Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating) held some intrigue.  Anything entitled quick & simple that sounds like it may contain some virtuous recipes is worth a trial in my opinion.  Immediately upon receipt, […]
