Do you have tons of subscriptions to magazines? Well, in most cases you can cancel those subscriptions, because most magazines are placing content online, free of charges. If you subscribe to any food or cooking magazines, consider checking out their websites. Here are my favorite food magazines, in Internet form:

Real Simple: Not only a great online recipe collection, but other tidbits about cleaning, storage, organizing, and other nifty household tips.

Everyday Food: All of the recipes from the magazine, plus other Martha Stewart publications such as Martha Stewart Living, Body & Soul, and even the now debunked Blueprint.

Food & Wine: Quite a pricey magazine subscription, I’ve found most recipes available online along with all the wine advice you will ever need.

Eating Well: Great healthy recipes without the publication price. Like many food and cooking websites, this one offers free email newsletters as well.

Cooking Light, Southern Living, Sunset and more are all part of the awesome recipe collection on MyRecipes.com (Real Simple is also part of the recipe network).

Newspapers also publish great local recipes, the best way to find these hidden gems is to use a news search engine like Google News and type in the search criteria “recipes” or a specific recipe you are looking for like “soup” or “casseroles.”

In case you have not seen or heard, the Food Network now has a magazine publication, but most recipes are still available online for free.
