 ladies, if you're really serious about preventing breast cancer, then you
 must start eating strawberries, it's considered one of the top 10 foods
  that'll make your body- breast-cancer proof.

Baywatch's Gluten-Free Rx For Women!

                            Eat This and Become A Bay Watch Babe! 

Do you remember the T.V. show "Baywatch?"
You know, the one where slim and trim beautiful women lifeguards
saved lives and were led by their boss, former "Knight Rider"
David Hasselhoff.
It was totally based on real life events, only kidding, but something that's
not a laughing matter is a faulty thyroid. 

That's right- former costar of Baywatch, Gena Lee Nolin, had trouble losing
weight after multiple pregnancies, (no surprise here) but after trying countless
ways to lose the weight, Ms. Nolin figured it was something more than calories and
exercise.

And she was right, Ms. Nolin picked up a copy of the book- "Thyroid Diet Revolution"
and said that must be my problem.
The book talks about making the switch from white foods like bread, pasta, potatoes and
rice to gluten-free versions like sweet potatoes, brown rice and buckwheat pancakes.
Ms. Nolin read the book and made the changes and today- she's 50 lbs. lighter and much happier.
If you're experiencing multiple failed attempts at dieting, perhaps this book may help, and to
get you started, here's a gluten-free lasagne by Ms. Nolin that'll help make the changes to
gluten-free, a whole lot easier.

"Gina's Gluten-Free Lasagne!"
Ingredients:
12 gluten-free quinoa noodles, find at a specialty store or online.
2 containers of fat-free ricotta cheese (15 oz. each)
1 package of mozzarella (8 oz.)
1 tsp of oregano
salt and pepper
garlic and onion powder (1 tsp. of each)
1 pound of ground turkey
1 pound of fresh mushrooms (optional)
2 jars of tomato sauce  (try Rao's) or another brand without sugar.
A 1/4 cup of dark honey
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375.
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box.
After cooking the noodles- set them aside. 

Get out a large bowl and combine the ricotta, half of the
mozzarella, and half of the spices and herbs. Set it aside.
In a large nonstick frying pan, cook the turkey until almost brown and
throw in the mushrooms. Cook for a few mins more.
You can add the sauce to the turkey, or get out a bigger and deeper pot to cook the sauce.
Use some of the drippings from the turkey and mushrooms to cook your sauce.
As the sauce is cooking throw in the remaining herbs and spices and let cook
for 5 to 10 mins. Add the honey and cook for another min. or two.
Turn off the sauce.
Allow to cool and get out a baking pan or 13 X 9 baking dish. (spray it with Pam)
Spread some of the sauce on the bottom, then place a few noodles on top
of the sauce, then add some of the cheese mixture.
Now, add some of the meat and mushrooms and then repeat the process
until all of the ingredients are gone.
Place a piece of foil on top and bake for 40 mins. (coat the aluminum foil with Pam)
After that, add the rest of the shredded mozzarella and some grated parmesan
or romano cheese and let bake for 10 mins. more.
Turn off the oven, remove the lasagne and leave it alone for 10 to 15 mins.
before cutting into it.
And that's  the Baywatch recipe for a great lasagne and a healthier thyroid.
Enjoy! 


Good Luck!
