This recipe for creamy potatoes with cheese and tomatoes is adapted from one we found in Sunset Magazine years ago, and is inspired by a classic dish in Colombian cooking—papas chorreadas.
Potatoes are boiled in salted water, then smothered in a sauce made with fresh tomatoes, onions, cream, and cheese. So good!

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake Baking TipsMake the crumb topping first. Mix the brown sugar and flour first. Cut the cold butter or margarine into cubes and add to the bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to cut in the butter to make the crumble topping first. Refrigerate until ready to use to keep the butter cold.
Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir with a whisk to incorporate them well. Then toss the apples with the dry ingredients. This will help the apples to not stick together.
Make a well in the middle and add the liquid ingredients. Using a spoon or spatula, mix until the dry ingredients are moistened. Don’t over mix or the cake can be tough.
Spoon the batter into a greased pan and sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the batter. Make sure to cover the whole top, some will sink as the coffee cake bakes.
Bake on the middle rack in the middle of the oven, until toothpick comes out clean and it’s golden about 40 minutes.

Knowing how much recipes cost to make helps to keep you in control of your grocery budget.
When things are tight you can make less expensive meals, when you have a little more wiggle room you can opt for a more expensive meal here and there.
This apple cinnamon coffee cake is made from scratch so it’s more of a budget breakfast cake or dessert. I find when I make items from scratch I can really save money over the ready made store bought items.
And it really doesn’t take that long to bake many items at home.
To determine the cost of this easy coffee cake from scratch I used everyday grocery item prices from my local Winco Food store.
Winco Foods usually has the best everyday prices for our area. But the actual cost of your coffee cake might be a little higher or lower depending on the price of each item.
The total cost of this recipe ends up being $1.57 for the full recipe or just $.13 per serving when you cut 12 serving pieces from the square pan coffee cake.
Compare this with the cost of a coffee cake at $5 for about the same size cake and you can see you can save $3.00 plus by making the apple cinnamon coffee cake at home.
What’s your favorite sweet treat to enjoy at breakfast? Do you think your family would enjoy this easy coffee cake recipe from scratch?

One day in Home Ec class when I was younger, we learned to make Parker House rolls. As they came out of the oven, we grabbed the hot rolls off the baking sheets even though the teacher protested that we’d burn ourselves.
Of course they were too hot to eat, but that didn’t stop us. Tender, buttery rolls with a hint of sweetness shaped like puffy half-moons – who can wait? They looked like Pac-Man, and they were delicious!

Most people associate scampi with shrimp and other shellfish, but guess what? This classic pasta dish works just as well with chicken.
The richness from the butter and olive oil are balanced by the acidity of the lemon juice and white wine. You also get a punch of garlic, a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes, and some freshness from the parsley.
