~ Making the Leap from Louboutin to Le Creuset
I know I know - I didn't do a Fab Friday this week. I haven't been in much of a shoppy mood. However, I go a lovely little email that I couldn't wait to share with y'all - namely, the Sur La Table Friends and Family sale. From now until Nov. 12th, we're talking 20% off of most items so you know this gal is going to get her shop on this weekend. Quite the very "happy birthday" to moi incentive no? Now - to decide what to scoop up - that's going to be the tough part. So - what … [Read more...]
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...]
With the plethora of sample sales & daily deal sites out there, my inbox (and, by default, wallet) has been screaming for mercy. However, when I got wind a while ago about a new site about to launch - Eat. Shop. Give. - I was excited to see what they had in store and, true to form, they did NOT disappoint. Cancer has always been a cause near and dear to my heart and the peeps over at Alex's Lemonade Stand is one of my favorite charities. This morning, when I heard that Eat. Shop. Give.'s … [Read more...]
You know, when it comes to fall, there is always the inevitable soup or stew that needs to be made, short ribs that need to be braised and other goodies that call for a really good dutch oven. Well, I firmly believe there is no better dutch oven than Le Creuset and I have quite the Le Creuset collection that has me prepped for fall. However, I often add to it as these pieces are timeless, add some punch to my stovetop and, well, I also believe that they help me cook better. I not only have to … [Read more...]
There's something I dread about conquering email clutter first thing on a Monday morning - so many sales, flyers and more. However - when HauteLook speaks, I tend to listen and I saw that they have TWO killer sales this morning - Cuisinart and Random House Cookbooks. Now, these sales sell out quickly so if you are looking for a great cookbook from Giada, Martha, Barefoot Contessa, Julia Child or more - well, today is your lucky day. Want a food processor or some great cookware to go with … [Read more...]
Remind me to send a thank you card to Dannon Activia Selects. Dannon Activia Selects has saved me from standing over a hot stove during these dog days of August, stirring away so that I can make yogurt for the Sous Pug (and myself, of course). Granted, yes, I have a yogurt maker but it's not one button press and you are done. As many know, you are standing over a stove watching the milk come to a nice toasty 180 degrees and, to be honest, with this heat, my apartment lately has been hotter than … [Read more...]
If there's anything I adore, it's a GOOD deal on a brand I swear by. There's more to me than Louboutin and Le Creuset, ya know. I also have a fondness for all things Emile Henry and Casafina. Imagine my surprise this morning when I got an email from a new sample sale site, One Kings Lane, and both Emile Henry and Casafina were featured today! Now, please don't tell the other sample sales that I'm spending the Choo money on more items for my kitchen and entertaining needs but since Emile … [Read more...]
Ahhhh - you know it's going to be a GREAT day when you get the notice that Rue La La will be hosting a Le Creuset sale starting today, June 7, 2011 at 11 a.m. If you don't have a Le Creuset piece but always wanted one, this is the best way to start. You get some great deals and some gorgeous pieces that will last you a lifetime. For those that already are Le Creuset lovers, well then, you already know how important it is to line up at those virtual doors for a sale like this. Not a member … [Read more...]
Most cooking aficionados know the mainstays of a well equipped kitchen and one brand that is a must for the serious culinary enthusiast is, of course, All-Clad. However, if you watch deals like I do, you know that All-Clad is rarely on sale. Well, fret no further - Williams-Sonoma has you taken care of. A little birdie told me that their All-Clad D5 Stainless Steel Cookware will be 20% off open stock pieces and 10% off sets from April 15th to April 24th. So, if you have that wedding gift to buy … [Read more...]
Another tried and true favorite that needed a recipe redo makeover was Giada’s Balsamic BBQ Chicken. I can tell you that while she says you can use her Balsamic BBQ Sauce on steak or chicken, I pretty much only use it on chicken. I rarely cook steak in the house – probably because I have [...]
So – today is the big day where Ewing fans, old and new, tune into DALLAS on TNT to see what drama is being cooked up at Southfork. Will J.R. be up to his dastardly self? Will Bobby sell Southfork? Will John Ross and Christopher ever stop fighting? Will Ann – Bobby’s new wife – [...]
