Cruising Comforts

This blog used to be about finding a way to be comfortable in the sometimes uncomfortable cruising life with the sea. After cruising five years, we found out that the focus needed to be on finding a way to live a healthy life while cruising, something we found very difficult to do. Although the original comfort food recipes are still in the sidebar (because we all need a treat once in awhile,) the new posts will all center on healthy recipes that can be prepared in a boat galley or at home.

The Science of the Chocolate Chip Cookie from NPR's The Salt

One of the commitments that I've made on this blog is to provide recipes that are easily adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand. I do this because when you're living on a boat sometimes you just don't have the exact ingredients stated in a recipe and you need to substitute. Cookies are a great way to experiment with this idea while you learn what works and what doesn't because they're pretty forgiving. I ran across an article today on The Salt blog that explained exactly what happens when you substitute ingredients. I found it incredibly helpful since I'm a visual person so go on over to the page The Science Behind Baking Your Ideal Chocolate Chip Cookie and then go ahead and make some perfect deliciousness!
