I’ve had a tiny obsession with egg cups since the moment I was first read Bread and Jam for Francis years and years ago. In this beloved storybook Francis decides that the world’s perfect food is bread and jam and the fact that her parents attempt to serve her something as “revolting” as an egg for breakfast is inconceivable to her.

What caught my attention as a young reader though were the dainty egg cup illustrations at the family table. Francis received her morning egg in an egg cup. What on Earth was an egg cup?! I received my hard boiled eggs in a bowl so obviously this left me feeling deeply deprived. They looked so fancy! And I loved nothing more than being “fancy.”

To this day I still don’t own an egg cup but that may soon change after coming across this pretty pastel set of egg cups in the most recent Crate and Barrel catalog. Purple, pink, yellow, and green – how will I ever be able to choose which cup to balance my egg on? I may have to work out some sort of equal opportunity dish schedule.

I actually had to Google it this morning so now I know it’s official — Easter is literally right around the corner. Peter Cotton Tail will be hopping down the bunny trail on Sunday, April 4th this year. That means it’s time to plan the all important Easter Brunch/Dinner with family.

No pressure or anything! Even pancakes whipped up from a box will retain an air of luster if you serve them with a pretty napkin wrapped in this cute Bunny Ring. I can’t help but think that little kids will be slightly enthralled by these bright yellow bunnies too. So if you’re missing a few when you start to clear the table I’d suggest taking a peek in their Easter baskets. The Pearl Tail Bunny Napkin Ring is only available in-store at Pier 1 Imports.

Good Morning! I wanted to alert you to a sale on Amazon featuring a select array of Le Creuset. The sale appears to pertain to the multi-purpose enamel stockpots. I own one in Caribbean and love it. In addition, other items available at a significant discount include the 2-quart stoneware pitchers, single stoneware baking dishes, sets of stoneware bakers, and the square cast-iron grill skillets. These are all really functional pieces to own and they come in a variety of fresh and funky colors so I’m positive that you’ll find at least one piece that will appeal to your tastes and kitchen needs. Happy shopping!

It’s that time again…Valentine’s Day. The holiday that single-handedly alienates, disappoints, and destroys human morale every February. But at least it’s a good excuse to eat candy. Instead of over indulging in high calorie boxes of cheap chocolates though (yes, I know, that little map makes them practically irresistible) why not stock up on pretty gummy hearts? You can sneak them into the movie theater and throw them at the annoying teenagers making out three rows in front of you. Or share these ruby-red gems with weepy looking co-workers who don’t get flowers sent to them at the office. Red Gummy Hearts are truly a multi-purpose treat that will keep you sugared and sane during this most absurd of holidays.

It’s been quiet here for a few weeks. I’ve been contemplating what I want to do with Yummery and trying to figure out how I can keep up with the posting schedule I want to have in conjunction with my personal and professional obligations. In layman’s terms…it’s awfully hard to keep up with three blogs now that I actually have to do honest to goodness work at my real world job.

To that end, my blogging BFF Hänni and I would very much like to recruit a few additional active contributors to Yummery. My goal is to have new content on this site every weekday (even if it’s just one new item). Contributors will be expected to submit at least two short product write-ups each week. If you cannot commit to this timetable please do not apply.

If you’re interested in possibly joining the Yummery project please send me an email [erin@erincooks.com] that includes links to your social media presence (your blog, twitter, etc..) and two examples of product reviews or write-ups. Humor is great! Creativity is fabulous. Bonus points if you’re obsessed with pink things. We hope to hear from you soon!

Happy New Year! Orange you resolved to add more antioxidant-rich fruit to your diet? Winter citrus is in season—make the most of it, get “juiced” about juicing. At first glance, what may seem like a cheeky piece of kitchen sculpture is actually an electric juicer that fresh squeezes citrus in minutes. The orange citrus juicer features a pressure-activated reamer, non-drip spout, and clever orange lid that serves as a collection bowl and 3 ½ cup pitcher. Cleanup’s a snap as plastic components pop right off the base and are dishwasher safe. And if orange juice isn’t your thing, this versatile juicer can also accommodate lemons, limes, grapefruit and more. This year, boost your intake of fruits. Consider vitamin c-ing the benefits of fresh squeezed juice in your household!

While shopping for a birthday card in Paper Source these adorable scratch and sniff Valentines stopped me dead in my tracks. You’ll be the belle of the ball this February if you send out these disarmingly cute cards to your friends. Why should little kids be the only ones to enjoy this festive exchange of correspondence? Tell the ones you love that you seriously heart them by mailing a cheery ice cream, popsicles, or snow cone in vivid scents like strawberry, vanilla, orange and blueberry. The Fun Pack contains 20 scented cards comprised of 4 different designs as well as accompanying envelopes. By the way, of course I bought a set for myself, how could anyone possibly resist the temptation?!

I received this handy Bon Appétit Daily Calendar as a Christmas gift from my Aunt Beth. It’s really the perfect addition to my desk at work. I definitely find myself looking forward to seeing what yummy dish will appear when I tear off the old day to reveal the current recipe. Today I was greeted with Roasted-Garlic Beef Stew made with beef tenderloin and a host of my favorite winter vegetables including the often maligned rutabaga and parsnip. Needless to say I’ll definitely be keeping this page to try at a later date. If you’re still in the market for a functional calendar to decorate your office with then I definitely suggest checking this one out. It’s sure to get your culinary imagination off to a great start in the new year.

Chew on this! From organic baby product company, Under The Nile, comes a crate of full of veggies your little one will love to gum. The organic cotton veggies baby teething toys set features a smooth wooden box with four soft cotton vegetables—a carrot, mushroom, green bean, and tomato—tucked in and ready for baby’s play. Stuffed with 100% organic Egyptian cotton, these veggies are safe for little mouths to chew on, and encourage children to develop a positive attitude towards food stuff found in the produce aisle. Teaching kids to reach for veggies even before they’re old enough to spear their first asparagus? Genius. Now if only there was something similar for all those grownup veggie-shy bachelors …
