Chocolate Pound Cake Bread Pudding
Instead of the typical stale bread, Erin Jeanne McDowell uses pound cake as the base of this decadent bread pudding recipe. You can either make her delicious recipe for sour cream pound cake, or use store-bought cake instead. The cake is drowned in chocolate custard, and studded with more melty chocolate and crunchy nuts. Erin especially loves baking this in the Heritage Rectangular Casserole, since the lid keeps things warm (and keeps all that moisture locked inside) until it’s time to serve it.

Apple Upside Down Cake
Inspired by the classic French dessert, Tarte Tatin, this cake recipe from our partner Dan Pelosi (@grossypelosi) has a layer of apples nestled in a rich caramel sauce on the bottom of the pan. Instead of pastry, the caramel apples are topped with an easy one-bowl cake recipe. Bring the warm cake right to the table in the Signature Everyday Pan and flip it onto a plate for an impressive tableside presentation.
DIRTY MARTINI PUTTANESCA
A classic puttanesca is beloved for its big flavors and simple preparation—and this remixed version is no different. We swapped out the tomatoes for bright greens and added a heavy helping of olives, capers, and brine to deliver all that saltiness we find ourselves craving from a good bowl of pasta. The finishing touch is inspired by another classic pasta and adds a glug of vodka to the mix to create a unified sauce. This cocktail-turned-dinner is on the menu as we celebrate Lodge’s new line of American-made USA Enamel cookware. Bottoms up!
CROISSANT-CRUSTED CHICKEN POT PIE
Somehow, whether the weather is cold or the AC is simply up to high, we find nothing gets the chill out of our bones quite like a chicken pot pie. And we asked ourselves, can we take this long-loved classic and give it a chance at a star turn? Enter the croissant. A simple store-bought dough tops off this pot pie base and brings something flaky and fun to every bite. Plus, we turned our extra scraps into tiny croissants to top it all off—can you imagine a bowl full of these? We think the result is as good as it is photo-worthy and will be making it in our equally IG-ready USA Enamel dutch oven all year long.

How To Use Your Five Senses To Improve Your Pour-Over
Finding time in the morning to focus on being present will not always be as readily available as it is in these unique days we are experiencing. While we do have these moments, we can develop a greater appreciation for our morning cup of coffee and carry that new found knowledge with us. More often than not, we’re rushing through the motions of our routines without noticing the qualities of the coffee we’re brewing.
