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.

Creamy Baked Tubetti for One

The problem with pasta is that I love it SO much. If I make too much I won't be able to control myself. So how do you solve a problem like this? You make just enough for one serving - that's how!



Creamy Baked Tubetti for One
Makes 1 Serving

 Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup tubetti, dried (or other small pasta)
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/8 cup grated Parmesan (fresh - not from a can)
  • 1/8 cup grated Romano (fresh  - not from a can)
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to broil.
  1. Place everything in a nonstick pot and simmer on medium heat until the pasta is cooked and the sauce is thick. The pasta should still be a bit firm. Make sure you stir regularly or this WILL stick to the pot. Even if you're stirring, it may still stick. Oh well, it's worth it.
  2. Place the cooked pasta into a little oven proof bowl. I like the ones with the handles. The one pictured I actually found at a thrift store. I bought 4 but one broke because there was that one day when I needed something to pound meat with ... it seemed like a good idea at the time.
  3. Anyway, take a slice or two of mozzarella and place it on top of the pasta.
  4. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
  5. And remember not to grab the handle of the bowl with your bare hands. You will burn yourself. I will admit that I've done it before.
  6. It's also a good idea to wait a few minutes before eating it so you don't burn your tongue.
