Apple Spice Cake with Dulce De Leche Buttercream

Apple Spice Cake with Dulce De Leche Buttercream by Heidi Namba

There are a lot of things to say about this absolutely delicious apple spice cake. I realize it sounds so "autumn" but I needed to use up some extra granny smith apples that I had sitting around from my 4th of July apple crisp. Granny smith are a little too tart for me to eat out of hand and this recipe just sounded perfect. The…

Chocolate Caramel Shortbread

Chocolate Caramel Shortbread by Heidi Namba

These were a delicious disaster. My previous yellow cake with chocolate meringue buttercream may have looked wonderful and tasty but tasted like crap. These chocolate caramel bars looked...um...not so good but they tasted like a dream. These were very difficult to leave alone when I was cutting them. I must have eaten about 5 of them…

S'mores Sandwich Bar Cookies

S'mores Sandwich Bar Cookies by Heidi Namba

S'mores Sandwich Bar CookiesThese were pretty good but I thought I'd be more wild about them. They were easy to make. The recipe is from the Hershey's website. Their website has so many wonderful recipes with common ingredients that we probably all have in our cupboards. S'mores happen to be one of my favorite things to eat, ever! I…

Do you ever just get an idea in your head about a dessert you want to make and you just don't forget about it till you follow through?

Mrs. Field's Snickerdoodles

Mrs. Field's Snickerdoodles by Heidi Namba

Mrs. Field's SnickerdoodlesI do not know if this is indeed Mrs. Field's snickerdoodle recipe, but supposedly it is. I have a favorite snickerdoodle recipe but always like to try something new. These were really delicious and if you like your snickerdoodles soft & chewy than you would love these. I like mine crisp - preferably all the…

Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies

Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies by Heidi Namba

I found this recipe on the "Miss in the Kitchen" blog. Her comment that this is a delicate sugar cookie is very accurate. It has a very light crispness to it. I added another vanilla bean, some vanilla extract and sprinkled the top with sparkling white sugar before I baked them, but besides that, I followed her recipe. I had never…

Banana Bread with Oatmeal Cinnamon Streusel

Banana Bread with Oatmeal Cinnamon Streusel by Heidi Namba

Ahhh.....another banana bread recipe. Comfort food. I feel like I constantly have over ripe bananas on my counter. Even when I purchase them green, they seem to ripen so quickly! So I'm always on the lookout for a new banana bread recipe. This one is wonderful. The banana bread recipe search is kind of like the search for a chocolate…

This is my favorite blueberry muffin recipe so I used this recipe and added blackberries to the batter, along with the blueberries and I also added some oatmeal/brown sugar streusel. The…

Oatmeal Cake

Oatmeal Cake by Heidi Namba

This wonderful recipe is from my Southern Cakes cookbook. I adore that book! This is an oatmeal cake but I think it pretty much tastes like a spice cake. It's topped with a wonderful boiled icing that includes coconut and nuts. The recipe calls for pecans in the icing but all I had was walnuts, so that's what I used and it was…
