12 Days Of Giftmas – Sur La Table Edition

December 5, 2012 By 2 Comments
12-Days-Of-Giftmas-Sur-La-Table-2012

Another favorite shopping destination for me year round is Sur La Table and I'm blessed to have not one but two stores near me – both in King of Prussia, PA and in Marlton, NJ. Both have full kitchens for teaching classes (which I know, I know – I have YET to take one – I'm failing that part of my 2012 Culinary Goals) and, when I get in my DIY/Canning moods, I head to SLT to pick up supplies. Let me tell you – while I adore having both of my favorite cooking stores nearby, my wallet … [Read more...]

12 Days Of Giftmas – Williams Sonoma Edition

12-Days-Of-Giftmas-Williams-Sonoma-2012

Williams Sonoma is one of those stores that friends and family know a gift card is always a perfect present. I hoarded a few gift cards that I received from my birthday and, during their recent Friends and Family event, I went on a bit of a shopping spree – saving a fortune in the process. I finally got that All-Clad roaster I've been lusting after, the Emile Henry ombre loaf pan, the OXO food mill, a candy thermometer that I hope I don't fry and some odds and ends that my kitchen was in need … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Thanksgiving 2012 Edition

Fab-Friday-Thanksgiving-2012-Edition

Hard to believe that not only is Thanksgiving NEXT WEEK (seriously – start the panic mode now!), but it's also Beaujolais season (and my happy behind is picking up a *couple* bottles for the weekend holidays.)  Shortly after is Black Friday/Cyber Monday but we'll wait to talk about holiday shopping until AFTER the turkey is carved and the guests are sated shall we? If you haven't started planning your Thanksgiving menu, you might want to give it a shot over the weekend because, as many … [Read more...]

Fab-Friday-Bloomingdales-Friends-And-Family-Edition

With the holiday shopping season already getting into gear, it's no surprise that the Friends and Family sales are front and center. Sephora has their VIB sale, Saks had their Friends and Family sale last month and that other shopping mainstay from my youth, Bloomingdales, has their Friends and Family sale that is through the 12th of November. There were some fab finds on there and everything below (except for the cookbook) can be found at Bloomingdales and is eligible for the discount. Make … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Hurricane Sandy Edition

FabFriday-10.26.12

Apparently, if you listen to some of the news reports, there's a Category 1 Hurricane headed smack dab for Philly and it's time to panic.  (According to other reports - it's also headed for Long Island, Delaware, New York - I can't keep track).  If you are listening to the media all you are hearing is: Pull out those generators. Rush to the grocery store and buy eggs, milk and bread. Do you have extra batteries for the flashlights? You have extra candles, right? Oh – did you charge your … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Weekend Chill Edition

October 12, 2012 By 2 Comments
Fab-Friday-Weekend-Chill-Edition

According to weather predictions, a major chill is supposed to hit Philly this weekend and it's going to be a bit frosty – well, until Sunday when its supposed to hit 70°. Needless to say, I'm not holding my breath because I'm starting to think predicting the weather is like predicting the lottery. The Philly weather peeps have been way off base recently so while they may say chilly, I will compromise and break out the slow cooker but leave the gloves and scarves in the hall closet. Next … [Read more...]

It has been a crazy week and, when looking at my calendar for October, it's going to be a very busy October for Cooking in Stilettos.  If you happen to follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you might have noticed that I've been yappin' about Emeril's new cookbook, Kicked Up Sandwiches lately.  Well, I'm excited to tell y'all that this gal was selected to participate in Emeril's Serious Sandwich Cookalong where, throughout October, you will see a few posts about my attempts at whipping some … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Fall’s Official Welcome Edition

September 21, 2012 By 3 Comments
Fab Friday - Fall's Official Welcome

I noticed that this weekend is the official Fall kickoff. Granted everything already feels like it somewhat – between the pumpkin spice lattes, the plethora of pumpkin and apple recipes, the cool night air – I thought fall was already here. However, Mother Nature seems to be holding back on us because the leaves aren't changing and it's still 75 degrees or so during the day. Someone might have left her off the weather change distribution list. The other day, I took a day to just stay home … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – Thunder, Lightening, Oh My

Fab Friday - Current Obsessions Edition

Or that will be the case shortly, if the weatherman is to be believed. I've learned that, with the exception of a few weather forecasters, I tend to take it all with a grain of salt. If they are correct, however, I will be cursing myself because I am sans umbrella today. Oh well – what's a gal to do, right?  I don't know where the week has gone. One minute I'm writing about Mexican Chocolate Brownies and the next thing I know it's time for a Fab Friday.  Next week, it's going to be recipe … [Read more...]

Fab Friday – The Heatwave Continues Edition

Fab Friday - The Heatwave Continues Edition

As some might have noticed yesterday, I decided to treat Cooking In Stilettos to a new "dress" and, while it might not fit just yet, I just need to tweak and tailor it a bit.  One of these days Cooking In Stilettos will have a haute couture theme of its very own, but while Momma is trying to pay the vet and car bills, the blog will have to be content with "off the rack". Speaking of bills, my car decided that it needed something of it's very own too – a shiny new fuel pump and, while … [Read more...]
