The round chocolate cake in the ready to grab fridge was the most decadent, delicious thing that has graced my mouth. I had got it for my mom's birthday cake and just wrote on it with a frosting pen and used sprinkles. Their bakery in general is MAGIC
@@ErinRobinson You can get just a package of the rotisserie chicken breast meat. It's like $15 for 2+ lbs., but no bones or chicken carcass to deal with & convenient for recipes or salads. I bought a pkg today & I plan on trying that Tik Tok Cheddar Bay Bisquit/Chicken Cobbler thing with it.
OMG, I would love see you try the pastries/sweets from Costco, my favorite was always their muffins, all of them😅! SO soft & so so delicious!! I want some now 😭
@@ErinRobinson I use to always get the assorted muffins, it came with poppyseed, blueberry & chocolate. They're all so delicious, but my personal favorite is the poppyseed muffins🥲I tear up just thinking about 'em lol

I agree about the rotisserie chicken. I was always given the impression that it was the best lol. The actual best comes from Sam’s Club. I don’t know what they do different, but it’s so good. I want to try that cheesecake for sure now. I’m always tempted, but it’s a bit much just for me and my husband lol unless there’s a good way to keep it longer. Please do the dessert video! They’re always so tempting when I’m shopping there.
@@ksacosta69 Freeze in quarters, thirds, or sixths so you only thaw out what you need. The only issue with freezing is that the icing/whip on top won't survive the freezing if you're wrapping each section.
I LOVE bacon but it's technically a major contributor to cancer and I am on a massive health journey right now (I will disclose more later) so I have had to cut back severely!!!
Lol, Erin: “it tastes…(I don’t know), the way Barbie smells” I’m imagining it has that fresh out of the Mattel box, new Barbie aroma. Tell me if I’m in the ball park, Erin 👍💖
Live in Wales and tried Kirkland cheesecake for the first time on the weekend and it was amazing! Was at a party and there were like 6 desserts to choose from. I had the biscoffi cheesecake and it was heavenly! Definitely up for a desert video.
Erin ! I had no clue you ever made this video. I randomly searched Costco pre made meals and was so nervous it was going to be just random ads. Then your beautiful name popped up. I trust you 10000000%. I’m so excited for this.
Yay! I am seeing so much support for the desserts video!! And thank you so much! It's a big change but I like changing it up from time to time because life is so short, ya know?
We have been Costco members since 1989 believe it or not so we are seniors and there is only two of us living at home these days. We always look at the premade things but realize that it would go bad before we get to eat it all. (portion control )😅I love finding your video on TH-cam today. My girlfriend was watching it and she said you were hilarious so …I added you to my subscription list. You are funny for sure. I definitely will be trying a couple of the products that you showed on the premade meals from Costco today. Because we have only tried a few of them ..the croissant sandwich with the Caesar salad. We buy all the time when we go to picnics outdoors they are very filling in fact if we take half of the meat off of each of the half of the sandwiches, we can actually get a third and sometimes at fourth sandwiches..They are overstuffed for sure . I am going to watch all your videos, I think you’re very good at what you do ! ❤keep it up. I appreciate it. I live in San Diego and we have one of the biggest Costco’s in the state. I believe it used to be an airport hanger when it became a Costco many many many years ago. So we go shopping at Costco once a month whether we need to or not. Thank you.
Their ravioli lasagne is incredible! It tastes as good or better than any chain Italian restaurant! You absolutely need to try their desserts and bakery items!
@@ErinRobinson I've not seen it all the time and its availability may vary with different Costco warehouses. It does get featured in the monthly flyer once or twice a year; that'll probably be when every Costco gets it in quantity.

The big Birthday Cake is so good!!! The apple pie and the pumpkin pie are so excellent!!! I buy them for The Holidays!!!! I wish they made little portions for two....
Are these prepared meals regional? Most of what you showed isnt available at the Costco locations where I live (Hawaii). Then again, Costco Hawaii stores have in-store, standalone Poke and Sushi counters; unsure if that’s available anywhere else. Loved the food you tested.
I like your report and have tried most of the items. The chili and cheesecake are favorites. My issue with the chicken is that they are undercooked. I risked one again last week after a long hiatus with same result. My solution is to put it in the oven for 30-45 minutes once I get home. That is enough to render more of the fat (and added globules) from the meat and to eliminate the blood around the leg and thigh. It's a lot of chicken for $5 but I have some reservations about what is injected before cooking. I've read the accounts on social media about the temperature checks and that they are really cooked. Maybe the prescribed times aren't enough for the larger birds? They also changed the packaging at my local store and now put them in bags instead of the traditional trays. It's hard to get them out of the bag without a greasy splash.
We get the Costco apple pie for every thanksgiving because it’s amazing and accidentally vegan (dairy free woo hoo). Definitely worth it! Better than anything I could make for sure.
@@ErinRobinsonI’m not sure if they have multiple ones, but we always get the giant one with the lattice top during the holidays. It’s not marketed as vegan, but the ingredients only list wheat as the allergy.
My personal hack for the Costco chili is to add about a tablespoon of mayonnaise to a bowl of it. Mix lightly so that streaks of mayo still show. It adds a tang to the chili that takes it to another level. The great thing about this chili is that it’s chunky hamburger heavy and medium light on the beans. It has a good middle of the road flavor so I’m sure it can be modified in other ways to suit individual tastes. Freezes well. I weigh out individual servings in zip lock bags and freeze. Price makes it a great value too.

They do mean a lot to me. I can't always get to all of them but I do try. You all are the best and I always appreciate when you all comment and engage and also...give me all the best ideas@@Fuentes6544
@@ErinRobinson vegan food? Idk tbh lol I’m from Texas all we have is Whataburger😭💀💀 Ive seen weed infused foods in LA LOL but you might not like being high.
The issue with the rotisserie chicken is that either 1) you're not eating it immediately after buying, and/or 2) you're not heating it up properly the next day. If you're going to keep it while and eat it after it's cooled once, the best way to heat it back up whole is to place it breast-side down in a crockpot or instant pot, preferably on top of some rice or noodles, broth, your preferred veggies and soup or rice spices (I like onions, leeks, garlic, a few carrots and a bit of celery, some bouillon powder, etc.). Keep it in there until the rice/noodles are cooked through and the chicken is both reheated and the fat has rendered down into the rice/noodles. Serve with oven-roasted broccoli, brussels sprouts, or green beans on the side. OR do the same but without the rice/noodles, tear down the chicken once cool enough to handle, use the broth to make gravy, and pour everything over hot biscuits or mashed potatoes.
I don't know if you also have a Sam's Club membership but their rotisserie chicken is mind-blowingly good. I just taste tested it! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
I always buy a rotisserie chicken. Whatever else happens, the carcass goes into the freezer. Last weekend, I threw two of 'em into the big pot with aromatics and made awesome chicken stock. I also made chicken pot pie with the meat that I got from the bones. $5.00 for this kind of food - you can't go wrong.
I'm for sure going to do this!! Also, I just uploaded a Sam's Club Taste Test too, if you want to check out what's good there! Happy Holidays! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
Yep, truthfully it's been up all year since my mom passed 5 days before Christmas last year. I couldn't bring myself to take it down...so, it's Christmas everyday here

I am not going to lie, I am not a huge fan of cheesecake but THAT cheesecake looked soooo good. Maybe I need to stop cooking so much and just go buy pre-packaged meals at Costco 😅
This was a BIG lesson I learned with this video! That chili is impeccable and when I am too lazy to cook this winter, you better believe I'm going back!!
I just tried costco for the first time and got these caramel apple mini cakes (they're pretty big though) and it was just okay. You should definitely try more from costco and give some suggestions!
Love this video! It's also funny because our family LOVES the tacos, meatloaf and chicken soup and we will never rebuy the stuffed peppers or chicken alfredo 😆
Love love love thank you Erin for this video we love Costco and loved watching your review. The hair cut looks great. Friends from MI, Clair and Ryan V

At least if people complain about your tree still being up say well we decided to decorate early this year. Another of youtubers have already started decorating for Christmas. I like your review to costco meals.
Oh yay our food queen is baaack!! Loves it!! Oh Erin lmao you couldn't never look like a Karen!!! Here's to drinking wine at 10am🎉. I just love your analogies haha Ur soo funny. I also hate hate cilantro!!! Alsoooo when are we getting that vegetarian/vegan tasting video?? Pretty pretty pleaseee? 🙏🙏🙏🥰
Please try the rest of the Costco desserts. I don't even like cake-- I'm a pie girl-- but their sheet cakes are top notch. The one with the vanilla cake and strawberries is so freaking delicious!
@ErinRobinson I haven't! I bet they're delicious. I live alone, so I'm a little reluctant to bring a ginormous Costco pie into my house. I might face-plant in it and never come out!
Ok so being from Arkansas and living in NWA I say you have to do the same taste tests at Sam’s Club. 🤷🏼♀️ Love the hair, you’re gorgeous inside and out. ✌️
I meal prep with those bell peppers! So good! The chicken Alfredo has a weird aftertaste to me too, I think it may be the fresh parsley on top. I'm a big fan of the chicken stir fry too, it has veggies and noodles with it.

I really like these videos, because they really help me when I have bad days, also I love your new haircut, it really suits you. I would also love to see Costco’s desserts/pastries options, since I live in Copenhagen in Denmark and I have not yet traveled to and experienced USA. So I really feel I get to live vicariously through you in these videos, also they seriously sparks my curiosity for what there is available to eat in USA. The fact that we both also have strong negative feelings with cilantro, raisins and some other things for sure too, makes me really feel like I can trust your taste rankings and I really appreciate the hard work that you do. Banana, cilantro, raisins, smelly cheeses (like blue) and some other food things could all get in a rocket and be send directly towards the sun so they could burn up and disappear forever, in my opinion but I also know that it’s probably just me who feels that way😅.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply!! Yes, I do feel like all of you here are truly my people! Also, are there any chain restaurants in Denmark that are also in the US that you would like to see me try? I always love doing this research for everyone!
I just love your videos and that southern girl came out to when you said taters I love my taters too. Lol it all look really good and as far as price really not bad because you got to consider to make the dishes all the stuff you would have to purchase to make them so really I think you definitely got a lot of bang for your buck.much love, respect, good vibes, and positive intentions
As many years as I have been out of NC, I still can't get rid of some of those southern thangs! Taters are just too fun to say. Actually, my family usually said "PAtaytahs" vs taters but still!
@@ErinRobinson I love it personally cause I'm a Tennessee gal so I totally get you and love it. Just really thanks for just being so real and transparent
I do like the rotisserie chickens. I do think they are so popular because 1. They are a good deal. Larger than grocery store rotisseries and cheap! And 2. Delicious and very versatile. I can make several meals/recipes from one chicken.
I agree with you about mac and cheese! That cheesecake looks so delicious, the way you described it was great. Desserts are always the best, you have to make a video about it.
Girl, please buy a Costco birthday cake. I can’t tell you how many nights it kept me warm!! 😋 Also, buy that rotisserie chicken, pick up the quart of Mama Queso and some tortillas...you won’t leave your house for three days! YUM-OH!

The rotisserie chicken excites people because of how cheap it is. It's not worth fighting someone for 😂
Yeah, and I think it would actually be more delicious in something like a salad or a casserole
@@ErinRobinson You can get just a package of the rotisserie chicken breast meat. It's like $15 for 2+ lbs., but no bones or chicken carcass to deal with & convenient for recipes or salads. I bought a pkg today & I plan on trying that Tik Tok Cheddar Bay Bisquit/Chicken Cobbler thing with it.
@@ErinRobinson I specifically get the chicken for salads, wraps, and other recipes. Just have to take the time to get all the meat off the bone.

I kinda wanna put my Christmas tree up LOL. I’m going through tuff stuff right now with life but just the lights on the tree would give me lifeeee, it’s so pretty 😍😍. I agree we should just keep the Christmas tree up all year around 💯🫶.
I fully support this. Joy is hard to come by these days, so if it brings you joy...I say put it up this weekend!!!
a reply means a lot 🫶thank you. And im still going through it after my mom passed after 2020 from the same situation. 💔🤍 and she always told me to still kick and fight, so that’s what im doing 😮💨 but can’t wait for the dessert video!!! Feels good to know that the comments do mean a lot to a creator.
They do mean a lot to me. I can't always get to all of them but I do try. You all are the best and I always appreciate when you all comment and engage and also...give me all the best ideas@@Fuentes6544
@@ErinRobinson vegan food? Idk tbh lol I’m from Texas all we have is Whataburger😭💀💀 Ive seen weed infused foods in LA LOL but you might not like being high.
The issue with the rotisserie chicken is that either 1) you're not eating it immediately after buying, and/or 2) you're not heating it up properly the next day. If you're going to keep it while and eat it after it's cooled once, the best way to heat it back up whole is to place it breast-side down in a crockpot or instant pot, preferably on top of some rice or noodles, broth, your preferred veggies and soup or rice spices (I like onions, leeks, garlic, a few carrots and a bit of celery, some bouillon powder, etc.). Keep it in there until the rice/noodles are cooked through and the chicken is both reheated and the fat has rendered down into the rice/noodles. Serve with oven-roasted broccoli, brussels sprouts, or green beans on the side.
OR do the same but without the rice/noodles, tear down the chicken once cool enough to handle, use the broth to make gravy, and pour everything over hot biscuits or mashed potatoes.
THESE ARE MAJOR TIPS! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this because I for sure didn't heat it up like this and I bet it would have tasted better!
I don't know if you also have a Sam's Club membership but their rotisserie chicken is mind-blowingly good. I just taste tested it! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
I'm gonna have to try that gyro kit. It looks delicious.
It was surprisingly fresh. The price was slightly higher than I thought it would be but it's good
So you put your tree up before Halloween??
You're late! The tree has been up since December of last year. My mom was killed 5 days before Christmas and I haven't been able to take it down
@@ErinRobinson wowww way behind for an avid viewer 🫣 I vote never take it down!
Its okay, I realize its an odd thing to see in October@@brookenewton9897
The taco kit 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
The chicken enchilada bake is my fav!!
I always buy a rotisserie chicken. Whatever else happens, the carcass goes into the freezer. Last weekend, I threw two of 'em into the big pot with aromatics and made awesome chicken stock. I also made chicken pot pie with the meat that I got from the bones. $5.00 for this kind of food - you can't go wrong.
Omg the chicken noodle soup is sooooo goood!!!!!!!!!!!!
This food looks great💗💗
A MILLION times yes to a pastry taste test!!!!
I'm for sure going to do this!! Also, I just uploaded a Sam's Club Taste Test too, if you want to check out what's good there! Happy Holidays! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
On it!!!! :D@@ErinRobinson
Do you have you're tree up???!!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉
Yep, truthfully it's been up all year since my mom passed 5 days before Christmas last year. I couldn't bring myself to take it down...so, it's Christmas everyday here
I love all the taste test videos. I want to know what Matt thought of the cheesecake.
We tried to finish as much as we could but it was so massive there was no way! He liked it a LOT. I think Cheesecake Factory is still his favorite - Also, I just uploaded a Sam's Club Taste Test too, if you want to check out what's good there!

I am not going to lie, I am not a huge fan of cheesecake but THAT cheesecake looked soooo good. Maybe I need to stop cooking so much and just go buy pre-packaged meals at Costco 😅
This was a BIG lesson I learned with this video! That chili is impeccable and when I am too lazy to cook this winter, you better believe I'm going back!!
I just tried costco for the first time and got these caramel apple mini cakes (they're pretty big though) and it was just okay. You should definitely try more from costco and give some suggestions!
I love preliminary feedback like this! Have you had anything else from Costco that you love??
Disappointed because I was going to get them and heard they were really good.
Yes!!! Costco Desserts please!!
So many votes here for the Desserts video!!!!
Erin next time take us with you to Costco hahaha do a grocery haul ❤
They’re okay but you should try the bakery section, especially the tuxedo chocolate mousse
I’m very excited for this video!!! 😌
I was excited to be shooting it! What a fun journey!!
Love this video! It's also funny because our family LOVES the tacos, meatloaf and chicken soup and we will never rebuy the stuffed peppers or chicken alfredo 😆
Wait, why didn't you like the stuffed peppers!?!?
I know what I'm getting for my birthday this year. That cheesecake.
It is SO GOOD! AND THAT PRICE! Heaven.
I would try all of the sandwiches and wraps but I hate Kirkland cake and muffins-cardborad.
Love love love thank you Erin for this video we love Costco and loved watching your review. The hair cut looks great. Friends from MI, Clair and Ryan V
Hi!!! Since you're a Costco fan, let me know if there is anything else you like me to taste test there!!!
i used to love watching you on cheat day!
Yes for bakery items and keto, healthy items. Also, new products!
please taste test all the costco desserts & pastries😋😋
Love the Christmas tree 🎄
TY!
I am all for you trying more items from Costco!! The croissants are HEAVENLY!!!
Just the plain ones?
@@ErinRobinson yes!! Just butter croissant! 🤤
Fascinating...I don't know if I have ever just eaten a plain croissant!!!!@@nhouse7962
@@ErinRobinson I hope you try it!!
croissaaaaaaants
(*enter drooling .meme)
yep .can eat aaaalllll by them lonesome
I love your hair so much! ❤
Thank you! It's actually a lifestyle change. I forget that short hair ladies have an entirely different get ready routine!!
Yes! Taste test all the desserts!!!

At least if people complain about your tree still being up say well we decided to decorate early this year. Another of youtubers have already started decorating for Christmas. I like your review to costco meals.
Yes! Not putting my tree up this year has been a big weight lifted off of my shoulders
Yes!! All of Costco desserts! Can’t wait 🥰🥰🥰
We've got another vote for all of the Costco desserts!!!!! And I am here for it
Oh yay our food queen is baaack!! Loves it!! Oh Erin lmao you couldn't never look like a Karen!!!
Here's to drinking wine at 10am🎉. I just love your analogies haha Ur soo funny. I also hate hate cilantro!!!
Alsoooo when are we getting that vegetarian/vegan tasting video?? Pretty pretty pleaseee? 🙏🙏🙏🥰
I hear you on the vegetarian tasting video! I am still trying to find a good angle for it. Maybe a Cheesecake Factory version?
@@ErinRobinson ❤️
Yeeeeees, I love costco! Definitely try all the desserts!
Do you have any standout/favorites from there??
Please try the rest of the Costco desserts. I don't even like cake-- I'm a pie girl-- but their sheet cakes are top notch. The one with the vanilla cake and strawberries is so freaking delicious!
I've heard those are good! Have you tried any of their pies?!?!?
@ErinRobinson I haven't! I bet they're delicious. I live alone, so I'm a little reluctant to bring a ginormous Costco pie into my house. I might face-plant in it and never come out!
I hear you! That's why I am also reluctant to do a video about all of the desserts....I may never be seen again@@aimeeparrott9204
@@ErinRobinson I hear you! As my therapist would say, only do it if it serves your journey.
@@ErinRobinson Two words: Pumpkin Pie. $5.99 for the Costco-sized one (14"? 16"? Whatever, it's huge).

Ok so being from Arkansas and living in NWA I say you have to do the same taste tests at Sam’s Club. 🤷🏼♀️ Love the hair, you’re gorgeous inside and out. ✌️
I need to figure out if I have Sams in CA and if not, maybe I can do it when I travel back to the east coast again!!
I meal prep with those bell peppers! So good! The chicken Alfredo has a weird aftertaste to me too, I think it may be the fresh parsley on top. I'm a big fan of the chicken stir fry too, it has veggies and noodles with it.
They must have been out of the stir fry!!! Also, I just uploaded a Sam's Club Taste Test too, if you want to check out what's good there! Happy Holidays! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
You crack me up 😂 your reactions are the best 😊
My brain is a smorgasbord lol
Your hair cut is so cute
Do the whole bakery/dessert options!!!
I think I'm going to shoot this in a couple of weeks!!! Also, I just uploaded a Sam's Club Taste Test too, if you want to check out what's good there! Happy Holidays! th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
FINALLY ITS OUT lol I've only been waiting since the teaser on insta lol
I love that you're ahead of this!!!!
Also the Taco kit is my favveeeeee and the Yakisoba noodles is tasty
I don't think they had the noodles at my location! What state are you in???@@kelbystewart4325
I really like these videos, because they really help me when I have bad days, also I love your new haircut, it really suits you.
I would also love to see Costco’s desserts/pastries options, since I live in Copenhagen in Denmark and I have not yet traveled to and experienced USA.
So I really feel I get to live vicariously through you in these videos, also they seriously sparks my curiosity for what there is available to eat in USA.
The fact that we both also have strong negative feelings with cilantro, raisins and some other things for sure too, makes me really feel like I can trust your taste rankings and I really appreciate the hard work that you do.
Banana, cilantro, raisins, smelly cheeses (like blue) and some other food things could all get in a rocket and be send directly towards the sun so they could burn up and disappear forever, in my opinion but I also know that it’s probably just me who feels that way😅.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply!! Yes, I do feel like all of you here are truly my people! Also, are there any chain restaurants in Denmark that are also in the US that you would like to see me try? I always love doing this research for everyone!
You gotta eat cilantro more often. I hated it as a kid and now I love it.
I dunno, I eat it a lot because I love salsa and it still tastes like perfume to me
Ohhh Erin, come on girlie you know we wanna see a Costco dessert video coz who wouldnt lol...luvya sweetie, take care x x
You know I want too, but sometimes the audience isn't that interested!
Love your hair!!
Thank you so much!!! It's been fun to change it up
My top have mac and cheese and rotisserie chicken. Definitely need to try those bacon mashed potatoes
Ohhhh.....if you like the mac & cheese you're NOT READY for those mashed potatoes
I just love your videos and that southern girl came out to when you said taters I love my taters too. Lol it all look really good and as far as price really not bad because you got to consider to make the dishes all the stuff you would have to purchase to make them so really I think you definitely got a lot of bang for your buck.much love, respect, good vibes, and positive intentions
As many years as I have been out of NC, I still can't get rid of some of those southern thangs! Taters are just too fun to say. Actually, my family usually said "PAtaytahs" vs taters but still!
@@ErinRobinson I love it personally cause I'm a Tennessee gal so I totally get you and love it. Just really thanks for just being so real and transparent
I do like the rotisserie chickens. I do think they are so popular because 1. They are a good deal. Larger than grocery store rotisseries and cheap! And 2. Delicious and very versatile. I can make several meals/recipes from one chicken.
I just tried the Sam's Club version of the rotisserie chicken and it was AMAZING - th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
I agree with you about mac and cheese! That cheesecake looks so delicious, the way you described it was great. Desserts are always the best, you have to make a video about it.
Do you have a favorite mac and cheese??? I feel like they're all mostly subpar!!
Sam's Club Mac and Cheese was MUCH better - th-cam.com/video/yYSwSpf364s/w-d-xo.html
@@ErinRobinson I saw the Sam's Club video. The mac and cheese did look really good.
