Every Day With Rachael Ray Magazine

I have recently picked up Rachael Ray's magazine - Every Day With Rachael Ray. This was the October issue. I really like the magazine and plan to subscribe to it. I really like Rachael's personality. She's cute, down to earth and completely unpretentious. I like her meal ideas. The fact that she's well known for her 30 minute meals is probably another reason I'm drawn to her show and now to this magazine. As a busy mother of three active kids, I don't have a lot of time to prepare meals. These 30 minute recipes are definitely for me. The magazine not only includes great recipes, but also covers a variety of topics. There are cute decorating ideas- from centerpieces you can easily create, to Halloween Party ideas. These ideas include themed foods and even crafts to make. There are some really good recipes that are focused primarily on children and even a monthly recipe to make for your dog! I would buy this as a gift for anyone who likes to cook, but doesn't have the time or patience that Martha Stewart requires.
