Add tuna, shrimp, sea vegetables such as Nori, and eggs to your diet. They contain iodine which makes thyroxine, a hormone that is key to thyroid function.

Breakfast tip

I need a little protein in the am to get my engine running and to keep those hunger pains at bay. This time of year, I crave hot cereal. The only problem is 2 hours later I’m starving. If you’re like me, here’s a little trick you can do to sneek some protein in. In the last minute of cooking any hot cereal, stir in 1 tbsp. of protein powder. I also add nuts and fruit to my hot cereal for an extra bit of fiber and healthy fat. You could also add an egg or egg white for protein, but I was looking for something different, as I eat eggs a few times a week.

Tip for Great Tasting Chicken Soup

Hello All!

It is downright chilly today in Upstate NY! Cold weather always has me craving soup, and my favorite is Chicken Soup, and I must say, I make a fabulous chicken soup! What’s the secret? Next time you’re boiling a chicken carcass, add a half a lemon to the pot. I squeeze some of the juice out first, and then toss the rest of the half lemon in, along with celery, onions, sea salt and a bay leaf. The lemon leeches the calcium out of the chicken bones which makes for quite a tasty as well as nutritious soup!

Do you have a secret ingredient that you would like to share?

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

In her book “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” Barbara Kingslover chronicled her family’s experience of eating locally for one year. They ate what they grew or could obtain from local farms/markets. Sound easy? I invite you to try an experiment of living “locally” for at least two weeks. What did you learn? Did you cook more? Save more on groceries?

If you would like to purchase a copy of her book, check out my Newsletter section. I’ve provided a link to her book thru Amazon.

I personally frequent our local farm markets, supplementing my purchases with grains and juices from my local grocery store. I’ve found it’s significantly cut down on my grocery bill, I waste less food, and I cook a whole lot more!
