Coffee Cake

A giant CHEAT recipe!
Carbs 49.5g  Protein 3.8g
9 servings

You can be a star without making everything from scratch.  You guys loved the coffee cake yesterday so here it is.  Please don't laugh. I know this is so crazy easy.  It's the Half and Half that makes everyone love my coffee cake so much.  Sometimes I make a coffee cake from scratch, but really I can have this in the oven in five minutes without pulling out 10 ingredients and more clean up than I want in the morning.
My carb and protein counts are based on the brand of coffee cake mix I buy.  I tagged the brand on my Instagram.

Ingredients
Cinnamon Crumb topping coffee cake mix as natural as possible
Half and Half
egg
Irish butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 350
I bake mine using convection so the crumb topping is more crunchy.
Follow directions for your coffee cake mix.  Instead of water use half and half.  Use Irish butter in your crumb topping, it has a richer flavor. Use the number of eggs called for by your mix.  If your recipe calls for oil use butter instead.  Mine mix only uses water and an egg.  so I only put Half and Half and one egg in the mix and butter in my crumb topping.   I bake mine in an 8x8 pan.    I like to line my baking dish with parchment so I can lift my cake out and make nice cut pieces.  I bake for about 28 to 32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Check your carb counts according to the mix you use.

Taco Night

I know Taco night is So easy.  I set mine up like a taco bar.  My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free.  Look around your grocery, you may find similar items.

I Have A Problem

 I am writing something other than a recipe today.  Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem.  The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food.  So the dishes you see are my dishes.  I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few.  So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked.  However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave.  So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store.  So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes.  They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop.  I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
