This resource is part of Jill and Lisa’s book, The Essential Thyroid Cookbook. I can’t say enough about this book. If you still need to buy it, you need it! I’ve been referring to it for the past ten years. The recipes are super, and the introduction is not just an introduction. It is an education about food and your thyroid based on research.
This portion of their book is so interesting. It helps you understand why you should soak or not soak your nuts and seeds—the difference between seeds and nuts and their value. This handy graph can be printed, shared, or posted on your pantry door. In addition, some super recipes at the end are worth making. Check it out while waiting for your Essential Thyroid Cookbook to arrive!
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
