An Erin Cooks Holiday Gift Guide

December 1, 2008

Buying gifts for friends and relatives during the holidays is never easy. I tend to over think every possible permutation, run out of time, and end up giving hastily purchased gift cards. If it’s the thought that counts then I guess I’m the Queen … just not in the good way. If you have a [...]

Erin Cooks The Internet: September 14, 2007

September 14, 2007

I was happily flipping through my October Rachael Ray magazine when I came across a product that definitely made my eyebrows raise. Rachael was promoting BLT Candles. Yes, you read that correctly: bacon, lettuce, and tomato scented wax. For the “bargain price” of $33.95 your house can smell like a cheap diner. [...]

Wine Cellar Sorbets offers the following delectable dessert appropriate flavors: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sangria Rojo, Riesling, Champagne, and Rosé.
