I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rachael Ray is everywhere. And now, she's even on your phone. For a "low monthly fee" ($2.99), AT&T subscribers can enjoy Rachael Ray's Recipes on the Run - 40 new recipes each month, complete with personal preparation tips from Rachael. Once a recipe is selected there's a "My Shopping List" feature that allows you to add recipe ingredients directly to a shopping list. If 40 recipes are too many to choose from, you can give the good ol' EVOO bottle a spin and get Yum-O! meal inspirations.
