From the Editor

Dear $$firstname$$,

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 I’m at a buffet or restaurant with lots of pie choices, I always pick lemon meringue. I love lemon. So it’s no surprise that the pie on the cover of the April/May magazine and the lemon recipe contest winners in the issue have me smacking my lips.

Can’t you almost taste that lemon pie? The up-close photo of the glossy filling and fluffy meringue truly is mouth-watering. Wait till you see the other prize-winning recipes!

As always, this newsletter links you to subscriber-only bonus features like a memorable Easter meal menu. In addition, you’ll find main-dish salads for spring, Mexican favorites for Cinco de Mayo (plus a festive table-topper) and a complete meal in minutes for a busy evening ahead.

If there’s a birthday or graduation celebration coming up, you’ll love our tuxedo-themed party menu. You’ll also see how celery seeds can spice up springtime meals.

—Ann Kaiser, Editor
