Cooking With Mommy

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 streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick

Yields 7-8 bites Ingredients 1 (15-oz) can  chickpeas , drained with liquid reserved 1/4 cup fresh parsley 1 tsp. lemon zest 1-1/2 tsp.  ground cumin 1 tsp.  ground coriander 1/2 tsp.  pink salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/4 tsp.  garlic powder 1 Tbsp. aquafaba (chickpea liquid) Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, parsley, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, pink salt, black pepper and garlic powder and pulse to combine. Add aquafaba and pulse again so dough sticks together and does not crumble. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons for each falafel and place on prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly with the palm of your hand so they are slightly rounded but not flat. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. It’s done when the firm on the outside, but soft on the middle. I would probably fry these. Recipe Borrowed From:  http://www.vitacost.com/blog/cooki

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.
