I agree - Real Simple does have some good recipes and tips. It's one of my favorite all-around magazines.
I used to get that Martha Stewart magazine, that is, until she went to jail. Then I stopped liking her.
I get Cooking Light and like it's 20 minute meals section best and the 'lighten up' where they change a recipe to be healthier. I used to get Bon Appetit but cancelled it for the reasons the first poster described - too complicated.
