Cinnamon Cake recipe (really a coffee cake)-

Topping: 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1/4c. flour, 1/4 c. room temp butter (I melt it), 1t. cinnamon- combine all with a fork and set aside

Cake: 1 1/2c. flour, 2 1/2 t. baking powder, 1/2t. salt- sift these ingredients together

Mix- 1 egg, 3/4c. sugar, 1/3 c. melted butter, 1/2 c. milk, 1 t. vanilla. 

Add the sifted ingreds to the wet ingredients.  Put into a sprayed or greased pan that is either 8″ square or 9″ round.  Top with the topping mixture.  Both batters are stiff so just kind of squish it around in the pan and then squish the topping on top. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 25 mins.  Enjoy with some milk or coffee or hot chocolate.  Yum.  :)

Sweet Salad

In a large salad bowl:

I like a mix of romaine and ice-berg

2c. sliced strawberries

dressing:

1/4 c. veg oil

2T. red wine vinegar

1/2 t. soy sauce

1/4 c. sugar

whisk until well combined and toss on salad just before serving.

topping:

1 pkg dry ramen broken up

1 c. walnuts

1/4 c. butter

1 c. brown sugar (I think this could be less and will try it with less next time)

Saute the dry ramen and walnuts in the butter and then add the sugar to coat.  This is delicious and try not to eat it all up before it gets on the salad!  ;)
