Chocolate Chip Goodness!

My husband has been expressing his concern (complaining) that we don't have cookies in the house that he likes. So, I have taken on a project... modifying my mom's chocolate chip cookie recipe. In my first attempt, they were too crumbly and too sweet. So, I will keep you updated on the progress. On the bright side, when frozen, the cookies were edible and not too bad.

What to do about soy sauce?!

Soy sauce can be a troublesome thing. The sauces that I usually buy have preservatives and gluten in them. As well, I don't really like the taste. So, what to buy or make to replace this?
Well, I did a little research and found a blog written by Kimberly Harris who cares about good-tasting, quality food, www.thenourishinggourmet.com. She talks about her experience with soy sauce and how she overcame her aversion to it.

Now, I have found a recipe to make my own soy sauce alternative. So, here it is...
