    Happy Birthday! What a GREAT giveaway! I will just leave this comment and do all the others later (running out the door).

    ...my preference would be Cooks Illustrated! I love that magazine, but for some reason, I've never subscribed!

    Thanks and many happy returns!

    What a great idea! I appreciate all the hard work you ( and others) put into your blog. It's more than inspiring and without blogs like yours I know I wouldn't have blossomed into a good cook! :) I would love any of the magazines except Everyday Food. I just ordered a subscription to that one!

    Tough call since they are all good magazines but I could use some lighter, healthier recipes so I'll go with Cooking Light.
