Aaaaha hahahahahaha! Too funny! Not much of a cook, eh? Red, white and blue potatoes! Ha! What were you thinking? 
However, in your defense, Cooking Light recipes are waaaaaay over-complicated. I had a subscription too; and while everything looked good, when you actually read the recipes and the list of 20 million ingredients in each one, they became a little daunting. I made a few things, but it always involved a shopping trip and buying ingredients of which you only used a tiny bit, and then the rest sat in my fridge or pantry to go bad before I needed it again. I did not renew my subscription when it ended. I highly recommend Mark Bittman's recipes from his new Food Matters cookbook. They are very simple, with only a few ingredients, and also very healthy. I recently made a Spicy Pork, Cabbage and Noodle dish, and it was delish!
