Magazine Subscriptions (and I’m a video star!)
As November rolls forward, I hate to say it, but I’ve starting thinking about Christmas. I know, I know. Halloween just happened and Thanksgiving isn’t even here yet. Believe me, I cringe when I see the Christmas decorations already out in stores.
But reality is, Christmas shopping needs to begin, and this year I’m going to try to get it done sooner rather than later. That said, over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some holiday gift ideas with you. Today’s is a super simple gift, but one that I personally love to get- magazines!!
Back in the summer, Magazines.com asked me to tape some videos for them talking about my favorite food and/or cooking mags. While I subscribe to several, I chose three that have been in my life for many, many years. Check out my Cooking Light video below and click over to Magazines.com to see my other videos for Food & Wine and Southern Living.
Now, back to the whole gift thing….
Magazines are a great economical present, most providing reading pleasure and eye candy 12 months out of the year for less than $15. And since I like you all a lot, I’m kicking off the giving season with an opportunity to get a subscription for free!

I’m embarrassed to admit that I am not subscribed to ANY food magazines currently. Never have been. And I think this needs to change because I’ve seen some amazing things in those magazines. Which are your favorites?
I get so many that it’s almost embarrassing! I love looking through Food & Wine and Bon Appetit’, but I make more recipes out of Southern Living (not really a food mag) and Cooking Light.
I’ve heard Everyday Food by Martha Stewart is great, but I don’t get it– YET! ;-)
Great video, Beth!! I’m subscribed to Bon Appetit and Food and Wine – great stuff there. May have to see if I can get Food Network Mag this year.
I love Everyday with Rachael Ray and Southern Living. I haven’t subscribed to Bon Appetit in a few years and would love to use this as an opportunity to jump start my cooking passion again!
I’m currently subscribed to Bon Appetit – but I find myself buying Food Network’s magazine every month! I really need to just subscribe to it.
And I already like you on FB.
The one I use the most is cooking light, we make something at leat once a week from it. And I like eat drink smile on Fb!
Beautiful videos, Beth! You are a natural star!
I’m not subscribed to any food magazines but I love picking up Cooking Light and/or Food Network’s at times, if I see something good!
I love cooking magazines but I currently do not subscribe to any. I always by Everyday Food, because I like the simplicity of the meals and it sometimes inspires me to cook something different at dinner instead of the same old same old. Last year I did have a subscription Cooks Illustrated, which I love for all the great hints and tips.
I liked you on facebook! Not a twitter person, yet!
So many people have told me that they love Everday Food, but I’ve never even looked at one. I think it might need to be on my Xmas list for this year!
I like you on Facebook!
Currently I’m subscribed to Vegetarian Times (it rocks!) and Cooking Light. But I also want to add Food & Wine to my magazine list! And yes, magazine’s are a great gift option!
It’s not a food specific mag, but I subscribe to Better Homes & Gardens, which I get a lot of great recipes from. I’d love to start getting Food & Wine Magazine or Clean Eating Magazine.
I absolutely love Better Homes & Gardens! Next to Southern Living and Cooking Light, I probably cook more recipes out of it than others.

Look at you, you little video star! Nice job!
I currently subscribe to Bon Appetit, but I miss Gourmet like crazy.
I’d like to get another subscription to either Cook’s Illustrated or Southern Living, both of which I have allowed to expire.
Food and Wine would be nice as well.
My favorite is Bon Appetit – I really miss Gourmet though – that was definitely my all time favorite cooking magazine.
I currently subscribe to Southern Living and I really like Everyday Food from Martha Stewart (small mag). I would love to get Cooking Light or Foodnetwork. Love your site!!
Everyday Food has several fans, because sooo many people have told me they love it. Can you believe I’ve never even looked at one?? Hmmm, I think it might need to be on my Xmas list for this year :-)
No food magazines right now :( I had a subscription to Bon Appetit, but it ended. I always looked forward to getting those, though!

I subscribe to Cooking Light and Southern Living and am interested in Cooks Illustrated.
I love Real Simple for their great family-style recipes, Cooking Light for ideas on revamping my favorite meals, and Food & Wine.
I like you on Facebook and Tweeted at you.
I subscribe to Vegetarian Times, Southern Living & several other I love to cook & can never have too many recipes, but I would love to have Cooking Light to enjoy some good food with less calories. I follow you on facebook. Thanks
Awesome giveaway
I subscribe to Southern Living (my favorite!) and Better Homes and Gardens. Surprisingly…you can actually find a few good recipes in US weekly and InStyle every now and then (I’m sure you already know that, though:) . I tweeted out your giveaway and liked you on Facebook!
I agree about the US Weekly & InStyle recipes! I’ve got some recipes that I tore out of In Style from many, many years ago. They have great party food ideas!
My mom gave me Country Living last year & I surprisingly like it! I also like Food Network.
I don’t like you- I LOVE you on facebook- thanks for all the awesome ideas you post!
Thanks Tiffany, that is very sweet of you to say!
Well, look at that! I’m a winnah-winnah chicken dinnah! Thanks so much, Beth!
