The Danish have a word for the feeling of being with close friends and family in a cozy environment: hygge. It’s all about staying warm on the inside when it’s cold on the outside. With the concept of hygge in mind, we crafted a warm, tasty – and boozy! – dessert to help cure those cold weather blues. This fall, delight your dinner guests with our bourbon bread pudding, made with buttery croissants and topped off with a bourbon caramel sauce that packs a whole lot of sweet and syrupy flavor.

If you’re looking for more ways to stay cozy and warm inside, take a peek at our Fall Favorites, including fall projects, recipes and much more!

Fall, to us, feels like a second New Year, a season for new beginnings. We sharpen our pencils, cut our hair and set new intentions — like having more family dinners where everyone sits down at the same time, calling your parents more often and not waiting until the 11^th hour before the bake sale to help your kid make treats (yeah, we’re still working on this one, too). But what about the star of the show? The one thing that ensures our family dinners are perfect and our bake sale treats beat out the competition. When was the last time you cleaned your oven?

If you’ve ever used the self-cleaning function, you know it can make things smelly and hot — so we’ve got a better, non-toxic way for you to clean your oven without harsh chemicals or setting off your smoke detector. (more…)
