Title: Flax Seed "oatmeal" Post by Trisha on Feb 16th, 2007 at 11:33am
I want to share this great recipe with y'all. Please note, this is NOT my recipe. Dinah, a lady at StellaStyle.com, a low carb forum, came up with this dish and I think it's simply wonderful. It's called "flaxmeal", because it's made from flax seed and takes the place of oatmeal. You combine 1/2 cup of flax seed meal and 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a bowl; nuke in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Add your favourite flavourings and viola'!
I think the recipe also works with soy milk, etc., so vegetarians could also use the recipe. For my dish I use a 1/2 C of flax with 2/3 C of heavy cream--I like my mix a little looser (not so thick). Then I add 2 TBS of Splenda and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. I have eaten this dish three times this week and find that I don't need a mid morning snack on those days. Flax is one of those simple yet fantastic foods that is SO healthy for us. It's chock full of fiber and Omega-3 oils. Give it a try--you may like it! :) I'm adding an important PS--you MUST drink plenty of water throughout the day when you eat flax. If you don't, expect constipation. :-? |
