Gift Spotlight: All Things Julia & Julia…
Posted by: | CommentsKicking off a series of “HOLIDAY GIFT SPOTLIGHTS” – let’s start with a spotlight on all things Julie & Julia
First of all, Sur La Table has this phenomenal gift set with both the DVD of Julie & Julia and the epic “Mastering The Art of French Cooking” which should be a staple for any home cook, no?
For those that adored the character of Julie Powell, you might want to check out her latest novel, Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession
or the book upon which the movie is based, Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
What about those that love the classic Julia Child. Well, in addition to any of her cookbooks, you can also pick up the DVDs of:
Julia Child – The French Chef,
Julia Child’s The Way To Cook DVD
or
Julia & Jacques Cooking At Home
Finally, you know what would REALLY be great – what about wrapping up the DVD of the movie within the Mauviel Oval Copper Fry Pan from the Sole Meuniere scene where Julia just falls in love with French food. Now THAT is a great idea to put under the tree for that special someone (even if it’s for yourself – don’t worry – I’ll never tell).
You just can never go wrong with Julia Child…

Deal Alert: Dean & Deluca Double Cash Back – TODAY ONLY!
Posted by: | CommentsI adore Dean & Deluca - their spices are some of the best I’ve ever used. Heck, if Barefoot Contessa uses them, why shouldn’t we. However the closest D&D to me is in NYC so I have to be content with shopping online. When I moved to Philly, the first thing I did was order some new spices and their shipping was lightening fast. Normally I shop through Ebates and I adore getting 5% cash back on all of my D&D needs. However, Ebates is giving DOUBLE cash back on all Dean & Deluca purchases for TODAY ONLY. Heck - thats 10% back and you know I’ll be shopping today to get some seriously fabu spices, coffee and more!
If you aren’t a member of Ebates, sign up through this link and both you and I get a bonus $5.
So what are you waiting for – go forth and get that holiday shopping done EARLY!
Simply Delicioso Comes To HSN…
Posted by: | CommentsWhen I saw Ingrid Hoffmann a few weeks ago at the Philadelphia Food & Wine Show, she gave me a heads up that she developed her own line of Simply Delicioso products with HSN. Well the premiere is tomorrow and the products are beyond sweet. Check out a few things that are on the HSN site.
The cookware is developed with T-Fal and Ingrid gave me a heads up that it isn’t insanely heavy. Some other cookware can make you feel like you are weight lifting and Ingrid wanted something that had ease of use and superior quality. The knives are through Furi and y’all know that Furi works with another FN Personality and those knives are really good from what I’ve heard (I’m a Global gal personally). The prices are phenomenal, the colors will work in your kitchen and, yes, this gal is about to get her shop on – with Cash Back of course (6% through either Mr. Rebates or Ebates!)
Now first up, this 3 piece cutlery set WITH case…
There is a fabulous 12 piece enamel cookware set that will take care of all of your cooking needs…
Also, she has some specialty pieces such as this Comal …
And a Paella pan which I am obsessed with … (Paella in Philadelphia – who knew?!?!?)
¡Ay, qué rico!
Make sure to check out the HSN Cooks! event tomorrow and get to shoppin’…
Rue La La: Not Just For Fashionistas Anymore…
Posted by: | CommentsHave y’all heard about RueLaLa – one of the primo spots to get all things fashionable on the cheap? I can tell you that when they have a killer sale such as Gucci, Kooba, Cole Haan, etc., I’m waiting for that lovely email to pop in the inbox at 11:00 a.m. to indicate that my sale engine needs to start. The sales are 2 days long and the deals are so good you just want to cry with happiness when you’ve scored *that thing* you’ve been coveting.
Lately, RueLaLa has been having some sales that have deviated from the fashionable and headed to a gal’s inner culinary/home decorating diva. We’re talking Calphalon, Waterford, Wustof, Villeroy & Boch, Mauviel, etc. Top name brands at killer prices.
Guess what’s on tap for this Tuesday – KitchenAid. The sale starts at 11:00 a.m. on July 15th. So if you aren’t a RueLaLa member, what are you waiting for – sign up, it’s free.
Just don’t say I didn’t give you a heads up.
Happy Shopping!

Spicin’ Up Your Sangria…
Posted by: | CommentsCinco de Mayois just around the corner and, like before, I’m still on the fence of “Do I or Don’t I” get a sangria pitcher. When it comes to cocktails, a well made sangria is in my top 5. However, I think when I make it, I’d like to add a little “Za Za Zu” to the presentation.
Luckily, La Tienda is having a sale on their sangria pitchers but there are so many to choose from.
