This Almond Orange Streusel Coffee Cake features the most delicious, crunchy, nutty streusel. It balances beautifully with the hints of orange throughout the cake.
Well, hello there! It’s been awhile since I’ve shared any new recipes on the site, but I’m back in blogging business because I’ve just made a recipe that’s TOTALLY worth putting out into the universe: Almond Orange Streusel Coffee Cake!
A little anecdote about the making of this delicious cake: My neighbor Renee, who is a good friend, just spent a month visiting her daughter in London. When Renee is gone, it’s almost like having my own mother out of town–she’s such a dear, caring friend I look to as a mentor-slash-mother-figure. So when she returned (and then I myself finally got back into town after the Today’s Dietitian Symposium in Savannah, Georgia), I really wanted to catch up.
Normally, the two of us would go for a walk around our neighborhood, but let’s be real, it’s 100 freaking degrees out in Mesa, AZ, so that’s pretty much off the table until November. Instead, I decided to whip up a yummy coffee cake so we could chat and nibble at the same time.
Funny enough, this recipe didn’t come from any favorite blog. Rather, it’s a riff on an ancient recipe from Great American Home Baking, one of those ’90s subscription recipe books. Much like the Columbia Record Company of bygone days, this cookbook was assembled over time vial mail with individual recipe cards. I remember baking from it back in my junior high years (including a very memorable accident where I forgot to bake the crust in a Baked Alaska pie). Anyway, though the cookbook was my mom’s, I somehow ended up with it. Believe it or not, I continue to use it, cheesy ’90s photos and all!
Even in all the years of use, I had never made this Almond Orange Streusel Cake, but I’m so glad I did. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon company kind of treat. It’s got the most perfect almondy crunch on top and spread throughout the cake, and the orange juice and zest adds a nice complexity of flavor and moist texture. Give it a try!

Props to the food stylist/photographer here. I was inspired to read the recipe based on the picture. I am looking forward to trying this coffee cake out. I usually just buy coffee cake muffins from TJs but I want to save money and step up my game.
I think we could get along! Let’s talk?

Hey people,
I’ve been diving into the world of online casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after digging deep (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that distinguish a reliable casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the MGA or the UK Gambling Commission), just walk away. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “juicy” bonuses.
Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks. It’s been a total win. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Massive*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: spin mama . What really stood out was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just ghosted by support — yeah, hard pass.
Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to stick to clear terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just play smart, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s looking for solid info or trying to find a decent place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some wild losses, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.
Good luck out there, and don’t let the house win too much ??
