I developed this recipe after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I was looking for a way to improve my thyroid function and support my overall health. I tried a variety of different recipes, but I found that most of them were either too bland or too high in calories and fat. This recipe is the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. It's also easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
