From the Editor

Dear $$firstname$$,

GREETINGS from the Taste of Home staff.

I’d like to personally welcome you to our online community. As a Taste of Home subscriber, you're entitled to receive this exclusive subscriber-only newsletter each month, free with your magazine subscription. Using the links in the newsletter is the easiest way to enjoy all your Taste of Home Plus online benefits. In each monthly Plus newsletter, you'll find bonus features, recipes, photos, expert advice and "insider information" to supplement your current magazine issue. It's our way of saying "Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!"

When a brand-new issue of the magazine arrives in our office from the printer, I take it right home to my husband, Louie. He settles on the couch to go through it page-by-page, with his mouth watering.

It didn’t take him long to spot the Elegant Chocolate Torte in the new October/November issue—and he promptly "ordered" it for his birthday Oct. 8. Don’t miss that treat along with the other winning recipes from our big Holiday Baking contest in your October/November magazine, which is in the mail and will be arriving soon.

Meanwhile, The Taste of Home Plus website brings you five bonus recipes from our national competition. They make fabulous choices for the upcoming holidays!

Halloween’s on the horizon, too. I can’t wait to see our grandkids’ costumes this year. I like to have special treats on hand when they ring our bell, like those on pages 16-17 in your October/November magazine. You’ll find even more Spine Tingling Treats at the Taste of Home Plus website, along with extra Hunter’s Helpings and other Flavors of Fall.

As always, we’ve included plenty more subscriber-only bonus recipes and features, including a Mom’s Best Meal, a time-saving Meal in Minutes and a kitchen tour that’ll send you “off to see the wizard!”; All of this is our way of saying “Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!”

—Ann Kaiser, Editor
