Obsessed With: Fun Foodie T-Shirts from Sunny Anderson

Sunny Anderson's T-Shirt Line

One thing you will always notice about Sunny Anderson is that she is ALWAYS smiling.  She can quickly crack a joke as swiftly as she can crack an egg.  Sunny keeps it real – whether it's about food, fashion – you name it and, to boot, she has a killer sense of humor. If you don't believe me, follow her on twitter and you'll see. Sunny's new website launched today (check it out at www.sunnyanderson.com) and, lo and behold, there's a Sunny Store with some witty food t-shirts. My … [Read more...]

Obsessed With: Calphalon Contemporary Non-Stick Bronze Cookware

CalphalonNonStickBronze10PcSt

"Hi my name is Aly and I'm cookware obsessed..." If you go into my kitchen, you will find not only my treasured Le Creuset pieces, but interspersed within that are pieces from Ingrid Hoffmann's fab. Simply Delicioso line, some pieces from Cat Cora's new collection, some Ruffoni copper pieces and, of course, my lovely Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel set which I totally blamed Ingrid on for using in her show Simply Delicioso eons ago. If those pieces didn't look so stunning on the stove, … [Read more...]



Fab Friday – Hurricane Irene Edition

When I moved up north, it was the implied understanding that Mother Nature could send all the Nor'Easters, Snowmageddons and all that fun wintery crap with the agreement that I was never to deal with earthquakes or hurricanes ever again. Tropical storms - meh - they happen - but when both an earthquake and a hurricane impact Philadelphia within a week, I want the number of the fool here who irritated Mother Nature so badly she's changing the scheme of the weather. So - let's jump to a few … [Read more...]



Fab Friday Returns

Oh Fab Friday - how I've missed thee! There's something about a little virtual eye candy that makes a gal happy. I'm loving the fact that the fall shoes are starting to come out. Now, before you remind me "Aly - it's just the beginning of summer - don't bring up fall!", I have to say that buying fall clothes/shoes are something that I look forward to EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR! Well, I figure I got 8 weeks of shoe lust to get out of my system as I pick out THE perfect stilettos to rock this fall. Don't … [Read more...]



Fab Friday – Cooking In Stilettos Edition

So, the word is official - the Sous Pug is sans stitches, feeding tube and now we have some more testing and consults with a pet nutrionist as he refuses the prescription dog food but he's on the mend. Such great news after this month long roller coaster ride. So, this morning I decided to feature a few things that just thinking about them makes me happy for this week's Fab Friday choices... Fab Friday - Cooking In Stilettos Edition - 5.6.11 by CookingInStilettos featuring steve madden … [Read more...]



Something Shiny and New To Brighten The Day

Cooking In Stilettos Blog Tag

This past month has kicked my butt in ways I didn't even know could exist. Between all the medical drama with the Sous Pug, balancing the day to day with hospital visits, dog nutrition research (home cooked diet v. canned dog food), learning medical jargon, etc., I am wiped out. Shortly after the Sous Pug went home, he was rushed back to the hospital and had to undergo quite the surgery and had to stay there for basically another week to recover. Officially the Sous Pug is home for good. … [Read more...]

Obsessed With Le Creuset Bistro Round Grill And Griddle Set

Le Creuset Grill & Griddle Set

I swear if I add ONE more Le Creuset piece to my already stocked kitchen, well - I think my kitchen cabinets might revolt.  If I add two - let's not even go there.  However, the minute I saw these lovelies in my email, I found myself trying to do a bit of "Creative Accounting" which I normally employ when it comes to my shoe purchases. But, since the Le Creuset Bistro Round Grill & Griddle set IS in my favorite color, Ocean, serves a useful purpose and doesn't take up much more room - I … [Read more...]
