"main courses" news and stories

After successfully promoting the supper club trend that has become so popular in the past could of years, Cooking Light highlighted a new concept in this month's issue of the magazine.

Many people who work outside of their homes eat lunch out almost every day. The days that they don’t eat out they are as likely to grab a candy bar and a bag of chips out of the hall vending machine as they are to have brought something from home. Beyond a peanut butter sandwich, sometimes it can seem daunting to prepare a whole meal in the morning before you leave for work. The concept of the lunch club is that different people bring in foods on different days of the month, dividing up the cooking duties but still providing everyone in the office (who wants to participate) with a full, healthy lunch.

You were indecisive, procrastinated, or just plain forgot, but whatever your reason is, there is no denying that you are now down to the wire in your Valentine's Day plans. Not to worry, though. A few candles and some delicious food will have your Valentine's would-be icy heart melting in your hands.

A quick stop at the store can yield a pack of Jone's Valentine Sodas and a package of heart-shaped Fun Shapes cake pans. Soda and cake may not be the pinnacle of gourmet cooking, but a bottle of Love Potion #6 and a piece of your heart will no doubt still be appreciated. We won't tell if you use a cake mix - promise.
