Her work has been featured on Buzzfeed, CountryLiving.com, Huffington Post, The Feed Feed, and in Southern Living Magazine.
Erica is also a cookbook author, having published her first book The Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook For Two in June 2018.
When she’s not cooking or baking, you can find her at Disney World, playing her favorite video games with Abe, cuddling her Mini Aussie, Vader, or searching for inspiration by binge-watching her favorite Food Network shows.

Colby Blum
Hey guys, my name is Colby Blum, and I have recently joined this incredible team. I grew up in the Tampa Bay Area and had practically lived here my whole life.
Growing up, I was diagnosed with seizures. It was an up and down battle with school and seeing the neurologist once a week. One day after about 13 years of ups and downs, seeing the neurologists once a week and taking a whole lot of medication, I was told that I grew out of them, and I am so blessed to this day.
The only downfall to all this is growing up, I always wanted to be a pilot, but after high school, when I went in to try to apply for schooling, one of the first things they asked for was my medical history. Sure enough, that was enough to put an “X” on that dream.
So then I said, “well, I can’t do that, so why not pursue something in the airline industry.” Then about a year later, I got hired by Southwest airlines. Still to this day, I am employed by Southwest, but I wanted to step it up a notch and start working alongside my beautiful girlfriend and her excellent business partner Erica!
Through high school, I took classes that consisted of a lot of video editing, and I enjoyed it, so now I’m going to be working alongside both of them editing your tasty style videos and social media management.
I’ve also started my own golf blog, Best Florida Golf Courses where I show you the best courses to golf in Florida!
