You searched for apple - The House on Silverado

This Apple Cider Sangria is the perfect cocktail for this weird transitional season we’re having right now. Yes, it’s October, but it’s 80 degrees right now. Not exactly sipping-hot-cider weather, is it? Don’t worry, I got you. With this Apple Cider Sangria, you can enjoy the flavors of fall, in a cool and refreshing fall drink. The combination of the apple pie spirits and the amaretto is so good. Add fresh apple cider and a little sparkle from the ginger […]

Apple Cider Martinis are so simple, yet have all the elements to make you forget that fall really just means winter is on its way. 😒 Okay, okay…let’s enjoy it while we can, right? We won’t focus on the fact that it’s already turned markedly colder this week, the leaves are falling, it’s getting dark way too early, and soon the snow will be flying…. […]

Farmhouse Apple Fritter Bread with Cider Glaze

September 25, 2020October 4, 2021

This Farmhouse Apple Fritter Bread with Cider Glaze was inspired by a trip to the apple orchard. A buttery, fluffy white cake loaf filled with apple chunks, and layered with a brown sugar and cinnamon streusel. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack with your coffee. I love apple season. There are so many delicious varieties of apples. Honeycrisp are my all-time favorite, but I love trying different varieties, too. Last year, we went to a local apple orchard, […]

This Early Fall Apple Themed Tiered Tray is a great way to transition between summer decor and traditional fall decor. If you’re not quite ready to go “full-on pumpkin” yet, this is fill the gap. It’s feeling like fall in Iowa this week, friends. I’m not talking about lovely crisp autum days with sunshine and gently falling leaves and all. No. I’m talking about literally overnight going from 90s and sunny, to 40s/50s, dark, windy, and rainy for going on […]

Life Lately It’s finally been nice enough around here to do a little gardening. I got my plant babies all tucked into our raised bed garden, and am so looking forward to nurturing them until it’s time to start gathering some homegrown produce. Is there anything better than summer suppers made with produce and herbs you grew yourself? Gardening season is my favorite time of year! My favorite baby did some planting this week, too. Maybe she will love gardening […]

This boozy Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Cake is the perfect dessert for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, but also an easy and unique cake for any occasion. For St. Patrick’s Day, we usually make Reuben sandwiches for dinner. Some fries on the side, a bottle of Guinness and we’re all set. That’s how we roll around here–“fancy like Applebee’s on a date night” and stuff. But wait! There’s more. If we really want to get wild, we add this boozy dessert […]

Life Lately Our favorite baby is learning so many new things. This week’s fun development; waving at people. I laughed out loud when my daughter sent me these pictures while they were waiting for Evie’s therapy appointment. She captioned them like this: “Waving at a random lady.” “Wondering why the random lady didn’t wave back.” 😂 She’s really working on her wave. Waving in Target… Double-handed wave on her way into Old Navy. This one made me giggle– she looks […]
