Taste of Home Magazine/Website?

I know it isn't 'gourmet' but is this a magazine worth subscribing to?

Last I looked was years ago so I don't remember much about it.

http://www.tasteofhome.com/

TY!

    That TOH community is… well don’t hate me for saying this but I feel like they’re all stuck in the 1950’s.

    It’s great if that’s what you’re looking for… putting a jar of salsa and a brick of cream cheese over frozen chicken breasts in the crock pot isn’t my definition of dinner.

    I feel like it’s 1950 suburban housewife food. (please don’t hate that I said that, I don’t mean it in a disparaging manner, different strokes for different folks and from what I can tell, there are MANY a folk who enjoy that kind of cooking.

      Hmmmmm, mild salsa? Or should I wow them with medium? :P

      I was given a subscription as a gift once and what I gained by reading that mag is a sense of gratitude that my "home" doesn't taste like that :/

        The magazine is hilarious for the sheer volume of blow in cards alone. Every issue seemed to come with at least a dozen "Subscribe Now!" cards. By the time you ot rid of them and the other subscription and sales pitches packaged with it you didn't really have a lot of content.

        This was true for the copies mailed to existing subscribers, I can't imagine what a newstand copy would be like. I'd be afraid to go to the website, if they follow the same business model it would be pop-up city.

            When it first came out years ago, for some bizarre reason I was sent a few complementary issues. It wasn't my cup of tea either.
