Thanks for the great compile, Cynthia! I saw the piece about walnuts and am thrilled I don't have to give them the boot (there are so many things I can't eat anymore, being Er/PR+) and that they are still good for me! YAY for small victories! ;-)
ReplyDeletePretty cool, right?! I am so pleased that you can still enjoy them. I am going to investigate whether I am getting similar benefits from chia and pumpkin seeds. Hope you're well!
ReplyDeletePS Pickled kale? Now that is intriguing. Recipe please! ;-)
ReplyDeletePicking! Not pickling! :-) Lordy - even I couldn't eat pickled kale.
