Tried this tonight. Loved it. Really wasn’t sure about putting nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon on vegetables other than pumpkin or squash, but it worked. Thanks for the recipe. I will be making this one again.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for these recipes! Going gluten and dairy free has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and these recipes make it a little easier. :)
I’m so glad you like them!!
I do! I bought the Myers Way Comprehensive Elimination Diet Recipes a couple days ago, and have tried a couple in there as well. Thankful for all the help from your website, Amy!!!!
What about eating goitrogens when you have Hashimotos? I thought kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc. are to be avoided when you have thyroid disease. They can be consumed sparingly, always cooked. I just avoid them because I’m not sure. Your thoughts, Dr. Myers?
