Week 6 will teach you everything you need to know about poultry!
When in doubt about what to serve for dinner, there is always chicken. Many special occasions are enhanced by a nice, juicy turkey on the table. Poultry is a staple food in many homes throughout the country, but if not cooked properly harmful bacteria can make you sick. Cook poultry safely and eat without worrying about illness.

The French love to talk about food. What they’re eating, what they’ll eat next, or the meal they’ve just finished. But the discussion seems always to begin and end with French food. Other cuisines don’t deserve such serious consideration.
A few days ago I was having dinner with friends. After H1N1, the economic crisis, French politics, and the Christmas sales, the obvious subject was food. While the French can no longer mock the American president, their usual critiques of American food remain a favorite source of amusement.
But the truth is that I’ve had some of the best meals of my life in the United States. Of course, I value French food, both on sensorial and historical levels. Having a strong food culture is a blessing–but it becomes a curse when combined with conservatism and chauvinism. The average French restaurant is now often disappointing, and the “exotic” options offer inauthentic cooking reflecting what the French think this cuisine should be.

Last month a literally earth shattering earthquake hit Haiti, one of the most disadvantaged countries of all. How could they be prepared for this? They couldn’t!
When I was pregnant with my children I many times considered banking cord blood to possibly use in the future for stem cells. I think that this is a wonderful that to try to plan for illnesses that might strike the family. If you have ever wanted to do something that has a lasting impact on your own life and help the children of Haiti, now you can!
Cryo-Cell, throughout February, Cryo-Cell will donate $25 from each enrollment to the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund”. As people safeguard the future for their newborns and families, they can also lend their hand to help rebuild the future for the children of Haiti. Cryo-Cell is the only cord blood bank contributing a portion of each sale to Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund.
If you don’t know how stem cell banking works, this will help! Cord blood, or umbilical cord blood, is blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta at the time of birth. This blood has typically been discarded following delivery. But once scientists discovered it was a rich source of stem cells, umbilical cord blood became a viable substitute to bone marrow in thousands of successful transplants.
I encorurage you all to visit Cryo-Cell online to learn more about cord blood baking and the major benefits and the strides in research that have been made in this science. Unlike other stem cells, these are only taken from the cord, and the baby is never harmed. The benefits of being able to use these for treatment of life threatening illnesses are priceless! Think about it, and learn more, then enroll now
