Cozy Scents: It’s Time to Fall in Love with your Home
It’s sweater weather! Fill your days with baking, walks around Bay Meadows neighborhood spotting colorful leaves, chilly nights snuggling next to the firepits at Fieldwork Brewing, spending time under the stars with your family fireside while whipping up warm Instant Pot soups and stews in your kitchen. Bring a bit of seasonal nostalgia into your home. Nothing reminds us more of the fall than the delicious smells of autumn. Crisp citrus, warm cinnamon, and fresh pine to name a few. Fill your space with these delicious scents. We can’t think of a better way to get into the spirit. Here is an Autumn Potpourri recipe to try at home.
*Dried Orange Slices
*Dried Apple Slices
*Cinnamon Sticks
*Whole Cloves
*Star Anise
*Bay Leaves
*Essential Oils: Cedar wood, Clove, Orange, Cinnamon, and Pine
Thinly slice apples and oranges pat dry and place on parchment paper. Bake for 3 hours at 200 *F (Be sure to keep an eye on them the last hour so they don’t burn)
