Anything is good, in moderation. I cook because I love to and because I can share with those around me. I crochet for the same reason.

Do what you want to do, enjoy what you do and use it to touch those around you.

Coffee Cake - you choose the flavor

I make this coffee cake with whatever Jam I have on hand.  This time, I made it with blueberry lime jam (see recipe from July 3).  For the topping, you can toast coconut or chop whatever nut you like.  Mix it up - it can be different every time you make it.


  COFFEE CAKE                                                                      
  1 1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour                                                   
  3/4 Cup Sugar                                                    TOPPING
  2 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder                                    6 Tablespoon Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  1/2 Tsp Salt                                                        1/3 Cup Chopped Nuts OR
  1/4 Tsp Cinnamon                                               1/3 Cup Toasted

Sprinkle over top of coffee cake. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
