Things are changing & Breakfast/Dinner

By
I am SO SORRY you guys! I haven't been posting as much and won't be able to post as much because life is definitely changing. (It's going to be for the better, I'm determined!) My online classes start on 1/19/16 and yes I am nervous! I have not been to college in 11 years! (I'm going for Medical Billing)

In addition to school I'm trying to plan The Lil Chef's 13th Birthday Celebration and it's turning out to be harder than I expected!

I will catch you guys up on everything you've missed in the near future.
Now on to Today's food...


I've had a taste for what we just simply call "Yellow Corn Meal" (yellow corn meal made into hot cereal), on the container it's called Cornmeal Mush. I do not like that, I don't like the way that sounds lol... that's just me. 
This is my first time having this since I was a very young child. This is my time making this ever. I made it once for me earlier and then again for The Lil Chef when she felt better. The first time around, I totally didn't make it right and I had lumps, it did taste good but I was disappointed. I talked to my mom and got some mom tips, made it again turned out completely different...no lumps in sight!!! I liked the taste better the first time but the consistency the second time. 


I added literally a pinch of raw sugar, brown sugar, smart balance, a dash of kosher salt, and vanilla almond milk.



Unfortunately, I have to go back to checking my sugar. Technically I shouldn't have eaten the corn meal, but hey. I haven't checking my sugar yet, I really do not want to do this again. Stupid Autoimmune!


On to something much better...Dinner!!!! The Lil Chef requested Salmon, Broccoli, and Mashed Potatoes sick and all. I have to say this is always always good!!!!



WISH  ME LUCK!!!!

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 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 ...
