I got an envelope in the mail today from my niece. Her school is selling magazine subscriptions. There are some cooking mags in there. Do any of you have a fav so Ill have some idea of what to get? The only cooking mag I have ever bought is a couple issues of Paula Deen's.

jglass - Years ago when family circle and woman's day were 15 cents per issue - they were the absolute best!

I still enjoy them - but I'm at the age where there are som many repeats of recipes and with all the dang ads - it's not worth it.

I no longer subscribe to any - issues would be missing and I never got them.

If I want a magazine - I check them out in the store and swee if there is anything there that interests me - then I buy it.

Certain times of the year they aren't worth it - for the holidays - if I haven't already got 150 copies of each recipe - then I buy.

Thanks for the response Mama.
I was looking at the list and Family Circle is on there so I may get that one.
I had told Jon a few weeks ago that all of the magazines are mostly page after page of adds.

She got me when she addressed the thing to her aunt Naney :o
They have some kids mags. I might just get her a subscription to something instead.
They are having fall festival at her school in a few weeks. Got any ideas on what I could make for her to sell? They already want some fudge but Id like to send along something else.

Well - there are always cookies and brownies with some candy corn decorations on them or fall colored sprinkles.

Autumn cutouts - using a leaf cutter and using various colors for the frosting. Apple cutouts.

Caramel or candied apples are definitely fall - not just Halloween.

You can make little "sacks" of various candies using different colored netting and ribbons to tie.

Add some fall colored M & M's to your favorite chocolate chip or sugar cookies, etc.

And don't forget cupcakes with fall colors, sprinkles, etc.
