In a previous article I talked about the importance of Tyrosine and Dopamine.

You are probably thinking why the heck should I care.

It turns out that Tyrosine is a nutrient known for enhancing brain function; specifically creativity. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter known for inducing the feelings of well-being. What a great combination for a writer!

The following recipe is loaded with tyrosine and dopamine; both of which are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing. It is gluten free. It is from bbcgoodfood.com and quite simple to make.
