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:

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.

Happy One Pot Wednesday!

Last night Mr. Cafe Kim made me one pot Pork and Pepper Goulash from one of my favorite cookbooks, Jamie At Home, by Jamie Oliver. This comforting stew was a definite mood-lifter after my long, dreary day of cold and rain. I'm all too happy to share the recipe with you...

This week I'm testing holiday recipes to serve at the big Thanksgiving dinner I'm cooking for my whole family. This lovely—and, more important, EASY!— sage and honey skillet cornbread from Epicurious.com might just make the cut.

For the holiday season, I'm asking CafeMoms to share their family's favorite holiday recipes—I love learning about how other families celebrate, don't you?

Today, I'm so excited because Aidensmomma508 has agreed to share her family's recipe for homemade pierogis, which they have been making every Christmas Eve for more than 100 years. Wow!

I love cranberries, but I know lots of people—particularly kids—can't handle the sourness. Still, with the right amount of sugar, I think this tart 'n' tasty fruit has potential to be more than a tired Thanksgiving side or a forgotten muffin. Check out the New York Times article about the underrated cranberry; then read on for an easy cranberry sauce recipe guaranteed to sweeten up your Thanksgiving spread. (None of that canned stuff allowed!)

Happy One Pot Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a one pot recipe that we make often in our house: Tortilla Soup! The original recipe is from Epicurious.com, but I like to add a few handfuls of frozen corn during the cooking process, as well as top with sliced avocado and shredded cheese. It's got tons of flavor without being too spicy. Serve with a salad and you're good to go. Enjoy!
