  1. That just doesn't sound or look as good as bad for you chocolate chip cookies. All that extra work and then they aren't as good. Doesn't make sense.
    I have a recipe that calls for 2 cubes of butter and 2 cups of sugar. now that some good shit. :)

    Good on ya for making the efforts to keep your house healthy.

    1. To me it isn't work though. It is the way that I've chosen to live for myself and my family. I love cooking and love finding ways to make healthy food that tastes good (to me and my family anyways!).
