I use them both.


I also bake with flax meal added and almond flour and reduce the called for flour.

Tom,
In order to get the full nutritional value out of flax seeds, they need to be ground. Whole flax seeds will go right through you. Some nutritionists have referred to chia as "flax seeds on steroids". Plus they're fully digestible, so there's no need to grind them.

I'm 55 years old, .

Sure dude. I work construction, but due to my allergies, I've had to create my own recipes. Here's one I made a couple nights ago. [whip]

BROWNIES

1/2 cup Earth Balance natural buttery spread, melted (corn, soy and dairy free)
1 cup of my proprietary sweetener blend (coconut palm sugar, Xylitol, Erythritol)
2 eggs (the one allergan I don't have problems with)
1 tsp unsweetened vanilla extract
1/3 cup Chatfield's carob powder (caffeine free)
1/2 cup Hodgson Mill gluten free pancake mix (whole grain sorghum four, brown rice flour & flax meal)
1/4 tsp salt

Mix everything together, and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

...and no, I'm not ghey.

Thanks DP - I was just pulling Jaime's leg saying what I could envision him saying...

My wife and her friend who is a raw chef got us into the superfoods. I gave her a lot of grief about going to cooking school to be a raw chef, what do they do? teach you how to chop for 3 months?

But our friend loves it and is now in Barbados doing the cooking thing, teaching yoga and surfing. Not too bad as opposed to when she worked with my wife as an animator doing 60-80 hrs per week and getting laid-off at the drop of a hat.

Thanks for the recipe!

you ever substitute butter with coconut oil (solid)? I heard about it, of all places, on Dr. Oz. started doing it and it works quite well. tastes good, especially on some toast, and is one of the best fats we can eat. i was never a huge health buff but have changed things quite a bit due to my situation with my wife. i've never felt better (besides this damn back issue i have now) and never knew eating healthy can be as good as it is. just my $ .02
