Now I know why I've never really liked cookies! Great little song : )

Keep strong - it sounds like you have a very good sense of yourself. 21 years in long time, I admire you. There are plenty of great dishes and treats that are alcohol-free, I agree that it's not worth it to eat stuff with booze in it.

I agree about the ginger ale..haven't tried it, but sounds iffy. I did, however, use the red wine substitute twice in the past 2 days, and it works really well. My son was shocked when I told him what went into the recipe (instead of red wine) for chateaubriand I cooked last night - he devoured it! And today i made a lentil and spinach dish that called for red wine and it was really yummy.

Hi everyone, I am the mother of a recovering addict and I LOVE to cook for my family. I came across a helpful website when I was searching for a replacement for the red wine in a recipe I was about to make for everyone. It's a table for what to use instead of alcohol.
Here's the useful link:
