#30 Brownies for Breakfast: a cookbook for diabetics with Lynne Parmiter Bowman

In today's episode we host Lynne Parmiter Bowman, author of the book BROWNIES FOR BREAKFAST: A cookbook for diabetics and the people who love them.

She defines her book as: "one of the best cookbooks you’ll have on your shelves whether you’re diabetic, pre-diabetic or not. Everything you need to know about sugar substitutes, dairy-free baking, no-carb thickeners, gluten-free options, plant-based protein, sleep, stress, shopping, equipping your kitchen, all in straightforward, no-bs language".
With a lifelong interest in healthy living, she teamed with actress Deidre Hall to write and publish Deidre Hall's Kitchen Closeup (2010) and Deidre Hall's How Does She Do It? (2012). In a previous life, she worked with Silicon Valley companies as a creative director, winning national awards. She has also worked as an actress, makeup artist, screenwriter, illustrator, legal journalist and television Weather Person.
