Love that Flax!
Flaxseed has become my new best friend. Its a great source of fiber (something we all can use), and its a great source of Omega-3's, a healthy fat that only comes in some fish like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed (I'm not sure if it comes in any other things). Because I do not like fish, I depend on walnuts and flaxseed for my Omega-3's. The great thing about flaxseed is that you can substitute it tablesspoon for tablespoon with Oil. So, I have a roll recipe where I only put half the butter it calls for and then I substitute flaxseed mill. I also do the same thing with my bread by halfing the oil and replacing it with flaxseed. It adds a whole new dimension to baked goods that I love. You could seriously add it to anything like muffins, pizza dough, bread, smoothies, cereal. And, I make all of those things, so its easy to get those omega-3's in my diet now. I highly recomment using it. You can find it in most grocery stores. I can find it in the baking section and or the cereal section. My favorite is flaxseed mill (ground flaxseed).
