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.

Chicken and Mushrooms with Corn

I bought a thingy of sliced mushrooms at Costco the other day, so if you noticed a lot of mushrooms around here lately, that's the reason. I doubt I'll ever buy mushrooms from there again because you really have to either have a giant family, or eat them with every meal until they're gone. Anyway, I love mushrooms so I'll work with it this time.

Last night I was trying to come up with something quick to take to work today, and I didn't really feel like cooking, but I had no choice. It was either cook, or take a frozen entree, and I wasn't in the mood for one of those either.

Here's what I came up with. 


Chicken and Mushrooms with Corn
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups chopped cremini or button mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 8oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa (I used store-bought - mild)
  • 8 teaspoons fat free sour cream
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
Directions
  1. Set the stove to medium high and spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Saute the onions, mushrooms and corn (I cut mine off the cob, but I'm sure frozen would be fine) for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to brown. Stir in the chicken and cook for 6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Stir in the salsa and allow to heat through.
  3. Serve on tortillas with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and scallions. (I forgot to take a picture of my tortilla all put together at lunch time.)
