I've been reading cooking magazines for years, and haven't found one that publishes recipes in my sweet spot. I love the delicious food in Cooks Illustrated, but oftentimes don't have the time to work on every little detail. The recipes in Cooking Light are often quick but with a few tweaks, can really have some amped up flavor.

This is a collection of recipes where I try to really iterate on what is already out in the world to see if I can make it one step faster, easier, or deliciouser
