[Grumpy's Gal]

how much do you eat a day and how do you eat it?

I used to be into flaxseed muffins. Never got used to eating flax seed w/ anything else. This is the recipe I have- pretty good.

Flaxseed Muffin recipe:

3eggs,
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. oil (or could use apple sauce)
1/4 cup sugar free syrup, such as Da Vinci (or 12 pkts splenda and tsp vanilla)
2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 cup flaxmeal (I had flaxseed so I put it in a food processor first)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp salt
In a medium, bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Beat in oil, syrup, water and vanilla. In small bowl combine remaining ingredients, then stir into egg mixture. Let stand 5 minutes. Spoon into well greased muffin cups (without paper) Bake at 350 F 12-15 minutes, Remove from tin at once to cooling rack. Store in fridge!

I stored in the fridge and heated for a few seconds in the microwave. Then I ate them w/ smart balance or smart balance and jam Usually one a day.

I use 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh ground Golden Flaxseed in my own cereal every day. Best plant source for Omega-3 fatty acids.

I've only just discovered them and I put them in salads to hide them from the guys! They are all 'meat and potatoes' guys and can't tell if it's part of the dressing or what!

I know someone that stirs a couple tablespoons of ground flax seeds into their morning glass of milk. And another that adds it to their oatmeal.

I used Flaxseed Meal from Whole Foods. Two teaspoons daily in my cereal.
