Sandra Lee's Last Minute Thanksgiving Tips
November 22, 2009 at 8:15 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (5)
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:

My Favorite Stuffing Recipe: Cornbread Stuffing
November 20, 2009 at 7:01 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (0)
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.

Food Detectives: Goat Cheese Cigarettes
November 16, 2009 at 3:05 PM by Cafe Kim - Comments (3)
I've been searching for quick and easy appetizers to make during the holidays, and came across these lovely goat cheese cigarettes from Morning by Foley. The only problem? The gorgeous Web site is in French, and the recipe isn't translating correctly. Can we "guess" how to make them?

Mini Apple Pies Are Irresistible

I know how many pieces of regular apple pie my diet allots for—one. But these precious mini apple pies (recipe at Pennies on a Platter)? I have no clue. They're so irresistible, I might just have to consume more than one. Or, ahem, several.
Do you have a favorite mini dessert?
