NYE with CWM!

YES! I am 5 days late posting this but it's ok, life happens. Everything turned out great!!! The Lil Chef and I made Bob's Red Mill GF Chocolate Chip Cookies which I'll post the recipe to later, mini corn dog bites and mini corn dogs on a stick (I have a post related to this that I posted a few days ago) and last but not least non beer battered popcorn shrimp that we made over the other day because I rushed on NYE and we got shrimp clusters! lol  (the post with the new shrimp will be up soon)



Thank you so much Zevia and Breyers for creating products that allowed me to have my 1st ice cream float in about 10 years! Root Beer Floats are the best!!!


Right before the ball dropped!


The Lil Chef and I had our sparkling juice in our sweetheart plastic glasses! :-) 


My plate of fried yumminess that was on a previous post. Mini Corn Dogs on a stick and "shrimp clusters"


Part of our snack set up for NYE. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Yes, those are Smart Balance containers holding the chips and the Farmers Cheese container for the dip (which consisted of non dairy ranch dressing and 0% greek yogurt, a little garlic pepper salt for taste and voila!) No reason to spend extra money on bowls and containers. (plus it was just me and the little one)


This was our 1st NYE Celebration in the new house! Hoping for all the best with our new beginnings!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

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

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. If you ever visit Cleveland OH I suggest checking this out!  INGREDIENTS For the rice 2 cups  jasmine rice (I'd probably use white and brown) 2 3/4 cups  water (filtered clean water) 1 tablespoon  vegetable oil (Olive oil) 1 teaspoon  salt (kosher salt) 2  eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon garlic, minced 6 ounces  shrimp (large 31-40 count) 1/3 cup  scallions, sliced 1 cup  English cucumber, diced (organic) 1 ...
