I love putting ground flaxseed in my oatmeal. I also use them in other things too, like when I make granola or even in yogurt! They are incredibly healthy but I feel they also have a good amt of calories and fat, so I usually don’t add too much to my meals each day. Still, I agree that they’re a great addition!

First time stopping by your blog. It’s great & I can’t wait to read more!

I was sure you already knew but some of my friends (and maybe some of your readers) don’t… When they see flaxseeds on top of a bread, for exemple, they think it’s healthy… Marketing is a really powerful tool to make people believe in all kind of stuff and not everyone is as interested in health as we are so they just trust the ads on TV. I think you should continue posting that kind of info on your blog to make people more aware of what they eat and why! It’s great!

Thanks for the tip, but I was already aware of that nutrition note : ) I never have tried cottage cheese in my oats; it doesn’t appeal to me.

I love all your different bowls! I need to find the time to go shopping and get one that isn’t white!

Just a quick note on flaxseed. You need to grind them to get all the benefits. The body can’t absorb the omega-3 and the antioxdants of the whole seeds. They will just end up, well, you know where… I don’t know if I used the right words. This is were English gets tricky for me…

That oatmeal looks awesome by the way. I think I’ll do the same tomorrow! Question, do you ever put cottage cheese in your oatmeal? I never have, but a lot of other food bloggers seem to like it…

I used to have flax every morning but have sort of forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
