Not really, but working all of this flax seed into my diet reminds me of the kids’ book, “How to Eat Fried Worms” As I recall from having last read this book in the ’70’s, a boy has to eat a worm a day for a month in order to win a bet. He uses lots of culinary creativity in his preparation each day but I think he has to eat the last worm raw.
Well flax seeds are much tastier than worms but as my cousin, Beth pointed out in the comments yesterday, 2 tablespoons is a lot. Yesterday I made a batch of flax-heavy carrot, apple, pistachio, and raisin muffins. They are pretty good. Today, I modified added the flax seed to a yogurt parfait I made:
Layer 1: 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt (used plain, non fat and added a drizzle of maple syrup)
Layer 2: 1 Tbs of flax see
Layer 3: Chopped peach
Layer 4: 1-2 Tbs granola combined with 1 Tbs. flax seed.
This time the yogurt/flax combo was delicious.
Bon Appetit!
My Eyes Are Up Here 
Yogurt/flax combo probably the easiest way. There is a recipe for Flax muffins in family cookbook. I added 1/2 cup olive oil to original recipe.
I don’t know how your mornings work but we do a hot breakfast in the morning. So here is another possibility to make flax a little more interesting:
I just cleaned up my coffee grinder to now grind flax seed. I added 2 T of ground flax to the three small pancakes that I made with this recipe McKenzie sent to me from Peru.
1 1/2 C Millers thick cut oats (organic)
1/4 C ww flour
1/4 C white flour
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 t cinnamon
~1 T brown sugar-with the addition of flax I would add a little more sugar
~ 1 t salt or less
~buttermilk – enough buttermilk (or soy milk) to make it the consistency that you like your pancakes. You may need to add a little ?milk as it sits. I let this batter sit and absorb for about 10 min before I start baking. Batter stores well in fridge for the next days too! !
I topped the pancakes with strawberry butter…
Thanks, Karen! This looks like a good weekend family breakfast recipe.
Man! While How to Eat Fried Worms is by Thomas Rockwell, the hero, Alan Burton Hall is a direct descendant of a Rockwell! “Uncle” Alan Hall is watching the worm eaters.
