Apple-Blackberry Cake

On January 28, 2012 By

We really enjoyed this cake.  It wasn’t too sweet, the apples and blackberries are a great combo, and the crispy sugar crust was one of our favorite parts.  The other perk, aside from it being delicious, is that it is really easy to make.  You don’t have to worry about your [...]

Super Pumpkiny Pumpkin Pie

On November 15, 2011 By

Let me start by saying that this pie does require a little additional effort to make, but the filling is just magical. It is super creamy, pumpkiny and perfectly spiced. It was so good, I didn’t even miss the dollop of whipped cream I usually have on my slice. But the clincher [...]

Baked Apple Sorbet

On November 1, 2011 By

The little town I am from in New York was surrounded by apple orchards, and apple picking was a yearly family activity.  We would pick bushels upon bushels of apples, and store them in our garage over the winter.  Fresh pressed cider was a staple in our house all fall; as [...]

Mike has been working in New Hampshire the past few weeks, so I drove up to visit him for our one year wedding anniversary last weekend.  While I was there, we had the most delicious ice cream sandwich at a little restaurant right off of Little Squam Lake, and I was determined to recreate [...]

I am so glad I finally got around to making this; it has been on my to do list since early in the summer, when I first saw it in the New York Times.  It was really simple to make (although the two pans for the fruit and browned butter irked me a little), [...]

My parents came down for the weekend, at it was a rather productive long weekend!  We got a lot of things organized, and the new place is starting to shape up nicely.  I had my mom bring her Applehood and Motherpie cookbook, along with some freshly grown Zucchini so we [...]

I love these darn things; they are so easy to make, yet look absolutely adorable.  These are a perfect summer dessert because you don’t have to use the oven or stove (if you choose to buy your wafers from the store).  There is also a very low mess factor with these, [...]

Fudge Brownies

On August 6, 2011 By

It’s been a rather jammed packed week here at Heather Homemade which included a PoisonMötley Crüe concert where we were so close we could touch Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx, and Mike may or may not have taken a light bulb from their [...]

Red Currant Pie

On July 24, 2011 By

Mike and I went back to my parent’s house in New York this weekend.  We traveled around Seneca Lake wine country and went to some of our favorite spots in Rochester.  We filled up on grilled and smoked goodness, because our apartment doesn’t allow us to have a grill, and relaxed by the pool.
