  1. Awesome day Erica!! You're motivating me!

    Yum, I'll take that recipe :) A hint I learned for soy sauce since we use it quite a bit, is there is a Bragg's soy sauce in the natural/organic section (they have it at Superstore) that has a very similar taste without all the salt. It's $6 for a bottle but the bottle is big and lasts us for months.
    I'm going to try this recipe. Can't wait to see more, you're helping me too. :)
