About a year ago, my mom gave me a subscription to a little recipe magazine called Simple and Delicious. Little did I know that it would quickly become a way to introduce some new and easy recipes into our repertoire. I’ve made more recipes from it than I imagined I would have! They weren’t kidding when they created the title!
What’s really neat is that most of the recipes come from the readers. They are tried and true, favorite recipes that the readers think will be a hit with others. I’d much rather spend my time working on a new creation that other families love than to waste my time and resources making something that we all wish stayed in the cookbook.
The tag line for Simple and Delicious is “Quick, easy recipes. Everyday ingredients.” That’s so true, friends… it’s so true. For $14.95, you can have a new magazine every other month, giving you some much needed refreshment in the cooking battle. The magazine is filled with gorgeous pictures and very simple to follow instructions.
The best part about the entire gift? Everyone in my family goes through the publication, circling the ones that they want to try. It’s a family affair at our house, one that makes me smile – especially when I see The Boy circle one that actually has vegetables.
So if you are looking for an easy way to spice up your daily cooking, I highly recommend that you check out this sweet magazine. If you don’t want to commit to a subscription, check it out at the supermarket or a bookstore. You can usually find this magazine at the magazine display or at the checkout line.
But I warn you: You may just want to pick up a copy if you find it in your hands… it’s that good and useful!

I’m all for Simple and new 🙂 So, I signed up to try it, and I’m liking what I’m seeing in the bonus online recipe guides!!
WooHoo!!!
My kids LOVE Simple and Delicious! Like yours, they circle up my copy.
I’ve found a lot of winners and a few duds but I’m PRETTY happy with it!
I’ve always subscribed to Taste of Home and have never seen Simple and Delicious…I’ll be looking for it now, though. Thanks for the awesome tip – I love simple and my family loves delicious. 😉
I heart all the Reiman publications. Light and Tasty is great too!
I LOVE all of these mags! They are a STAPLE in my kitchen! I especially love the feature that S&D does now where they have the whole week’s worth of meals planned out! I haven’t actually done a full week yet, as they often have fish, which I abhor, but it is so helpful that they tell you how to buy 1 item and use it for 2-3 meals in one week without it seeming redundant! YAY for Reiman!
I second org junkies comment. I subscribe to ‘Simple and Delicious’ and love it. Light and Tasty is good, too. We’ve been attempting to eat healthier as a family and I’ve been impressed with the recipe offerings of both.
Simple & Delicious is a wonderful magazine! Don’t forget you can look recipes up on line, too–not only for S&D but for their sister publications. (I like Taste of Home, too!) And they even have an ingredient search, which is a great way to use what you have on hand.
