Flax seed overdose...
Music: Queen - Greatest Hits
Mood: Enlightened
What's up friends? Enjoying dinner as I type this (Baked acorn squash w/seasoning and sesame oil)... Good stuff. Read on...
Woke up in the AM... Like most of you I hope.. he he... Got my juice on right away. 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, a big ol' piece of ginger, 2 garlic cloves, and a few beet greens. WAY too spicy. Talk about a natural expectorant... I like it freaky though. Green Star Juicers are the goods. If you have the desire, and the time to juice, do a 'lil research.
Ate an avocado and a pomegranite while I got all Betty Crocker w/myself. I decided to make flax muffins this morn'...
I found a recipe I thought sounded good on the BTD boards. Here goes:
3 C. ground flax seed (Golden, and fresh ground if possible)
1 1/4 C. Flour (I used 3/4 C. each of Arrowhead Mills oat and spelt) If your gluten sensitive just use rice flour or sumthin'.
3/4 C. Milk (I used 1/2 C. of Rice Dream, and 1/4 C. of Eden unsweetened soy milk)
1/2 Cup sweetener (I used Wholsome Sweeteners blackstrap mollasses)
2 large eggs (free range and organic if possible)
2 T. oil (I used 1 T. each of spectrum sesame and olive... Use unrefined if you can.)
1 T. of Baking powder (aliminum and corstarch free if you can find it...)
Dash of sea salt (optional)
Dash of cinnamon (optional)
1 t. vanilla or almond extract (optional) Make sure your extract is gluten free if you are sensitive.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix all dry in one bowl, and all the wet in another.
Whisk 'em up... That's right... Beat it... Good....
Mix the dry and wet together and sppon into a greased muffin pan... Nice and graesy... All sweet and oiled up...
Bake 'em for 18 minutes or so. Good like wood.
I've been eatin 'em with a tsp of Purity Farms ghee and some Knudson apple butter.
The recipe makes 12 muffins. I have eaten 6 of them so far today... I'll probably have 2 later... Can you OD on flax?? He he. Later gang. Peace to you all.
