SOUTHERN LIVING HAS EVERYTHING THAT’S HOT
UNDER THE SUN THIS AUGUST

Birmingham, Ala. – Looking for a last-minute girl’s getaway weekend; quick, inventive supper ideas; or the lowdown on what’s being done to protect our barrier islands? Southern Living has everything that’s hot under the sun this August.

Travel: Getaway with the Girls (page 23) – Looking for that spur-of-the-moment escape? Well, call your girlfriends, because Southern Living suggests three different travel itineraries spanning from Austin, Texas, to Blowing Rock, N.C.

Protecting Our Paradise (page 73) – From Assateague Island in Maryland to Padre Island in Texas, our region boasts the nation’s most beautiful barrier island system. Senior Writer Steve Bender explains the importance of barrier islands and what’s being done to save them.

Food: Grill Something New (page 78) – Reasonable prices on produce make right now the perfect time for great tasting kabobs and grilled fruits and vegetables. Check out Honey Mustard Pork Kabobs and Grilled Peaches Jezebel, along with a section on cool summer soups (page 162).

Supper Solutions (page 160) – With kids heading back to school and lots of after-school activities, who has time to worry about dinner? Southern Living solves the time crunch by headlining meals using one main-dish ingredient – Herb-roasted Chicken.

Home: 2007 Southern Living Idea Houses (page 85) -- Southern Living offers the inside track on what’s hot in design in its three 2007 Idea Houses. From casual, almost contemporary coastal design in WaterSound, Fla., to a blending of traditional and classic in Greensboro, Ga., and Hot Springs, Ark., these homes are sure to inspire. If you can’t make it to one or all of these houses for a visit, you can still take virtual tours of all three at www.southernlivingideahouse.com.

Quick Tip: Protect Family Photos (page 156) – A picture is worth a thousand words, and Southern Living gives tips on how to protect them through framing techniques, digital preservation, and smart storage solutions.
