Almond Blueberry Loaf

This cake was made under fire.  The Sabbath was upon us and I had about an hour to go and this cake baked for that long.  I have never worked this fast but speed produced a light and subtle tasting cake that we enjoyed.

Blueberry Loaf Cake  (ever so slightly adapted)

 Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Canola oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Rice milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour  (I used a gluten-free mix.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • Topping:
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture just until combined.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
  • Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over top.
  •  Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  •  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf.

    Take care!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
