Hola & Welcome to my Eggless Kitchen!
Hi there! I’m Oriana, the face behind Mommy’s Home Cooking. I’m a wife, mother of three, grandmother, daughter, sister, runner enthusiast, and proud allergy mom. My passion for creating family-friendly recipes without eggs started with my own family’s needs and has grown into a full-time career as a recipe developer, food photographer, and food stylist. Here at Mommy’s Home Cooking, I’m all about making sure no one feels left out of delicious meals, regardless of allergies or dietary restrictions.
I’ve loved being in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by family who expressed love through cooking. Watching my mom and others bring delicious dishes to life taught me early on that food is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to connect and celebrate with those you love. Those lessons are something I strive to pass down to my own family and to everyone who visits this space.
When I’m not testing recipes or behind the camera, I’m spending time with my family (including our little dog), working out, traveling, enjoying time at the beach, or indulging in my favorite Netflix shows!
About Mommy’s Home Cooking
I started this blog in the summer of 2011. At that time, I visualized it as a way to document all my fears, experiences, and feelings during this wonderful journey called motherhood. Over time, my blog has evolved, and now I use it to share eggless recipes. That is why Mommyhood’s Diary became Mommy’s Home Cooking in June 2016.
Mommy’s Home Cooking has become a trusted resource for food lovers who have an egg allergy, egg intolerance, or ran out of eggs but still want to make something delicious.
Why Eggless Recipes?
Our journey with egg allergies began in 2013 when my youngest daughter, Victoria, was diagnosed with a severe egg allergy. This was a major shift for our family; suddenly, familiar meals became a puzzle, and birthdays and other celebrations took on new challenges. I was determined that Victoria would never feel left out or restricted, so I got to work learning how to cook and bake without eggs.
After years of trial and error, I’ve created countless egg-free versions of classic favorites, from fluffy pancakes and crispy waffles to decadent desserts. Now, I’m thrilled to share these recipes with you, hoping they’ll become family favorites in your home just as they are in ours.
My Mission
My mission at Mommy’s Home Cooking is simple yet powerful: to create delicious, reliable, eggless recipes that make everyone feel included at the table. I believe food should be a joyful experience, free from worry and restrictions. As an allergy mom, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate dietary needs, so my recipes are crafted to be allergy-friendly, approachable, and full of flavor, ensuring every meal is a celebration. No one should miss out on delicious moments because of an allergy or intolerance, and I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen in your home.
What You’ll Find Here
When you step into Mommy’s Home Cooking, you’ll discover approachable, allergy-friendly recipes designed to make every mealtime joyful and worry-free. Whether it’s breakfast before soccer practice or dessert for a birthday party, I’ve tested each recipe until it’s just right. My focus is on simplicity, so every recipe is made with easy-to-find ingredients and includes clear, straightforward instructions that even novice cooks will find easy to follow.
Every single recipe on my site has been developed, tested, plated, and photographed by me. Unlike many recipe sites, I do not hire any of this out.
