As stated in the bio... I, Joi (Mommy) have multiple Food Intolerances/Allergies (and multiple Autoimmune disorders.) My daughter, Jas (The Lil Chef) thought it would be a good idea to showcase to the world that Allergy free eating could taste like "real" food. It took a lot of trial and error but I feel I have now Perfected the art. The Lil Chef and I created a Blog On Facebook (which is still up and running) in July of 2013. My Mom whom I still call Mommy has strongly suggested that I/we start a blog about my Allergy Free living. I never felt ready (Life was happening and things were just a bit much.) The Lil Chef started her own blog Called "Fashion First" ( http://fashionfirst123.blogspot.com/ ) mind you she's 12 (sorry and a half...) I figured I/we can do this. My life took a huge, actually two huges turns recently so why not? time to start/try something new. I am now Single, we moved to a "smaller" town, and I feel like we are FINALLY on our way to being truly Happy. Life has calmed down so here I am. PLEASE have patience with me... I am new to this (I had an AVON Blog in 2011 but it didn't last long, people were more interested in Social Media) Now to the current: With many failed attempts today at transferring the information from one blog to the next, we've decided to start you guys from our current situation. If you are at all interested in seeing what we've gone through in the past two years PLEASE feel free to visit us at https://www.facebook.com/CookingWithMommy  we're not going anywhere. :)

With all of that said I think I might catch you guys up on September maybe part of August and then go from there.

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Johnny Mango's Shrimp Fried Rice with Fiery Lime Sauce

By
Backstory: My friend introduced me to this AMAZING fried rice about 6yrs ago. She asked did I want "fried rice" (I'm thinking "traditional" fried rice) OH NO! I tasted this and my taste buds went crazy!!! I had her bring it as often as I could. Unfortunately I have never been to Johnny Mango (near Downtown Cleveland) myself. I have been craving this for about 6yrs and I am SOOOOO HAPPY that there is a recipe! I do still want to go to   Johnny Mango World Cafe & Bar but until then I will try to recreate it myself.

Authentic 1-Day Ethiopian Injera: Gluten-Free 100% Teff Flatbread

By
I really really hope that I can make this recipe work! I received some teff flour from the food pantry and I had NO idea what to do with it. I am so happy I found this recipe! Makes:  4-6 Injera Time:  1 day to ferment, about 30 minutes to cook Tools: Large glass bowl Cheesecloth, muslin or kitchen towel with a thin weave Parchment paper Ingredients: Try to buy everything organic.   Here’s why . 1 1/2 cups teff flour 2 cups pure water 1/2 tsp baking powder Coconut oil for pan 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste Let’s get started. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch I made looked a bit different, some were brain-like (below) and some were less puffy. Bring a pan to medium heat, and very lightly, coat ...
