Sandra Lee's Last Minute Thanksgiving Tips
November 22, 2009 at 8:15 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (1)
I adore Sandra Lee, the host of Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee and Sandra's Money Saving Meals on the Food Network. Her recipes and decorating ideas are so creative—seriously, how does she come up with this stuff?—but still accessible for families on a budget. I was really excited about getting the opportunity to speak with her last week and ask her if she had any last-minute Thanksgiving tips. Here's what Sandra had to say:

Discuss This (1)New Guidelines Advise Less Pap Tests (Here We Go Again)
November 21, 2009 at 8:00 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (10)
On the heels of this week's mammogram controversy comes new guidelines for cervical cancer screening from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In a nutshell, here's what it says: Women should delay their first Pap test until age 21, and be screened less often than recommended in the past.
Is anyone else concerned that all these new recommendations are suggesting LESS—not more—cancer screening for women?

Discuss This (11)My Favorite Stuffing Recipe: Cornbread Stuffing

Remember a few weeks back when I was freaking out about making Thanksgiving dinner for my whole family and, more specifically, the stuffing?
Well, since then I've been trying recipes, and I think I found my favorite: Cranberry-Cornbread Stuffing (using the Skillet Cornbread I made earlier this week). It's a Martha Stewart recipe, but I've added a special, secret ingredient.

Discuss This (2)New Mammogram Advice Upsets Women Everywhere
November 19, 2009 at 7:30 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (4)
We weren't the only ones who were upset this week after a government task force announced that most women in their 40s should no longer get routine mammograms; instead, it recommended that regular breast cancer screening start at age 50.
Women (and their doctors) across the country—including here on CafeMom—were confused and uneasy about this dramatic shift in approach to breast cancer detection.
That's why I was so relieved to read despite the new mammogram advice, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is telling women to "don't change what you do."
