Weekend Reads
Personally on the weekends and I have a quite and relaxing morning I love to read through some cooking magazines. When I get a new one in the mail during the week it is something that I always look forward to during the weekend. Do I always find something.... no, but it almost without a doubt inspires me to get into the kitchen and whip an old favorite up or something completely new. Below are a list of some of my go to food magazines, either buy a copy or subscribe for a year you can't go wrong. Enjoy the reading and happy!!!
