One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake

I had some berries they weren’t being eaten so I made this delicious berry cake. I had fresh berries but you could also use frozen. This cake is so easy to make, and you only need one bowl. I think it would also taste great with cranberries and lemon extract instead of almond.  One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake Makes 1 11x7” Cake Ingredients 2 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries and strawberries)  1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 large eggs 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup sliced or sliced almonds Brown sugar for topping Directions Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 11”x7” baking dish.

Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

Here's a great way to use leftover rice. I always keep frozen vegetables on hand for emergencies.


Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice with Egg

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon plus and 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 3 cups cold cooked rice (I used brown)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup mixed frozen vegetables
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
  1. In a nonstick pan, heat 1 teaspoon oil on medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom becomes firm, then flip it like an omelette and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove from pan and dice into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium heat and fry the onion just until translucent, about 4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and cook until heated through. Probably no more than 5 minutes.
  5. Taste it and add salt if desired. I found the soy sauce salty enough.
Tips: 
  • If you don't have leftover rice, simply cook any rice according to package directions and spread on a cookie sheet. Allow to cool completely.I don't have a wok, but if you do, feel free to use it! I also didn't have any scallions, but I'm sure they would have made a tasty garnish.
