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!"

I have a healthy little crop of fresh basil growing in a container outside my kitchen door, and I’ve loved snipping what I need for many of the savory recipes in the August/September magazine.

Yummy Pizza Margherita (p. 39) uses 20 basil leaves, sliced, for the topping. Pepperoni Spinach Quiche (p. 37) is another must-try. Louie and I enjoyed it for supper last night. My plants just keep growing, so I’m planning to serve Pesto Rice-Stuffed Pork Chops (p. 27) next.

It’s been about a month since your August/September magazine arrived. As always, we’ve added more subscriber-only recipes and tips to Taste of Home Plus, including more budget-friendly recipes, some pleasing mint recipes and lots more Italian favorites.

In addition, you’ll find classic coffee cakes, some great grilled fish recipes and new ways to serve abundant zucchini and summer squash. Last but not least, there’s a sneak preview of your upcoming October/November magazine. Enjoy!

—Ann Kaiser, Editor
