  As a child, a friend and I used to drool when we heard the Helm's 
  bakery truck whistle because we loved their blueberry coffeecake.  
  It had a high, strusel - like topping that was bumpy with flour, 
  butter and powdered sugar.  YUM!

  Hope you can locate it for me.  Thanks,

Hello Tana,

There are still only two Helms Bakery recipes that I can locate, their brownies & their blondies. See:

Helm's Bakery

However, I did find a blueberry coffee cake that sounds similar. You should give it a try. See the recipe below.

  Blueberry Coffee Cake

  Makes 1 Bundt cake  

  Ingredients    
   
  1 cup packed brown sugar 
  2/3 cup all-purpose flour 
  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  1/2 cup butter 
     
  2 cups all-purpose flour 
  2 teaspoons baking powder 
  1/2 teaspoon salt 
  1/2 cup butter 
  1 cup white sugar 
  1 egg 
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  1/2 cup milk 
  1 cup fresh blueberries 
  1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting 
   

   Directions     
  1 Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a Bundt pan well 
    with cooking spray. 
  2 Make the streusel topping: Mix 1 brown cup sugar, 2/3 cup flour, 
    and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter or margarine; 
    topping mixture will be crumbly. Set aside. 
  3 For the cake: Beat 1/2 cup butter or margarine in large bowl until 
    creamy; add 1 cup white sugar, and beat until fluffy. Beat in egg 
    and vanilla. Whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt; 
    add alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture, beating well 
    after each addition. 
  4 Spread half the batter in the prepared pan. Cover with berries, and 
    add remaining batter by tablespoons. Cover with streusel topping. 
  5 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, until 
    deep golden brown. Remove pan to wire rack to cool. Invert onto a 
    plate after cake has cooled, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

  Looking for a recipe for fish roll ups. 
  Had it several years ago and lost it. 
  All I can recall, is that it was on the Wyler's chicken broth granules. 
  And you used some of that, turbot or other white fish, 
  some olives, & stewed tomatoes.
  Appreciate anything like this you can find. 
  Thanks.

Hello Cain,

Well, I dunno about olives and stewed tomatoes. I could not find any fish roll-ups recipes with those two ingredients. Since it was on the Wyler's chicken broth package, then it must have contained chicken broth. Below are the fish roll-up recipes that I found that contained chicken broth.

Phaed

   1 1/2 minutes.  Stir in the salmon, parsley and pepper.  Spread
   about 3 tablespoons of the filling over each fillet. Roll up
   fillets.  Place seam side down, in a 10 x 6 x 2 inch microwave-safe
   baking dish.  Set aside.  In a 4-cup microwave-safe glass measure

Hello Daniel,

Chia seed (Salvia hispanica) are considered to be a "food supplement" by the FDA. Health claims may be made for its nutritional properties. However it is not approved as a drug, so it cannot be advertised for treating specific illnesses other than based on its nutritional components. Chia seed are available in the U.S. at health food stores. You could request more information from the FDA at this site:
