We were searching for some jugs and pitchers for iced tea for quite a while. Not only was it hard to find glass jugs that were fairtrade, but it was also hard to find glassware that was simply functional and beautiful. Until we discovered Blenko Glass Company...
This may sound pretty old school, but did you know that cooking your food in a cast iron pan helps supply your body with needed iron? We promise this isn't some kind of medieval trick...it actually works. So we're happy to turn to Lodge Pans.
