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.

Lentil Stew

I adapted this from what was originally a Weight Watchers lentil soup recipe, but it turned out to be thick so I'm going to call it a stew.

I thought the raisins were interesting but I knew raisins and lentils would be good together because I like Adas Polow, which also has lentils and raisins in it! Even my 4 year old loved this!

Use veggie broth to make this vegan.


Lentil Stew
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced  
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds    
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil  
  • 1 medium tomato, diced  
  • 1 cups dry green lentils, rinsed
  • 5 cups low sodium chicken broth    
  • 1 teaspoon salt  
  • 3/4 cup raisins  
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint leaves, crushed
  • juice of 1 lime
Directions
  1. In a nonstick pot, saute shallot and cumin seeds over medium heat until the shallots are slightly brown and the cumin is toasted.
  2. Add the tomato and lentils and stir to combine.
  3. Add all other ingredients except lime juice and simmer over medium heat until lentils are soft (20-30 minutes). If the liquid runs out before the lentils are cooked, you can add more. I like them with a bit of texture so I don't cook them until their mush, but it's up to you.
  4. Squeeze on some lime juice before serving.
  5. Serve with a nice salad.
