Best Flax Seed Recipes

Having a high cholesterol diagnosis has pushed me to learning about making healthier choices.
Not only did that diagnosis make me take notice, but also the fact that my father recently had a heart attack, as well as the family history of heart disease.

Flax seed has been proven to be beneficial in preventing heart disease, and lowering cholesterol.
Flax seed can also help to reduce the risks of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.

Here is what you will find in that tiny Flax seed:

Omega-3 essential fatty acids: those are the "good" fats, you want those! Omega-3 have been shown to be have great health effects on our hearts.
Lignans: these have both plant estrogen, and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains more lignans than other plant foods.

Fiber: Flaxseed contains both the soluble and insoluble types.

You could even go as far as saying (which quite a few people are) that flaxseed is a miracle food!

I have been gathering recipes, and learning how and where to add flax seed in order to get the benefits.
I will share some of those ways here that not only I love, but my whole family does as well!
Having my children enjoy these recipes, makes for a happy mom!
