Flax & nutty stuff

You can inhale the fresh aroma through the bag. But hurry, Texans can grab this new twist through the end of August. Thomas’ Limited Edition Banana Bread English Muffins made my day, several days in a row. Makers suggest spreading butter or peanut butter on top. Cream cheese was not a shabby alternative. Has anyone thought of this before? Thank you Thomas.

Flax and nuts for your health

Linwoods did a trick and made flax fun. Milled Flaxseed Cocoa & Berries flavor went into my banana smoothie every morning for a week and I was never hungry before it was time to eat again. Read labels to know how to best enjoy other flavor combos: flax, sunflower, pumpkin & sesame seeds & goji berries is the flavor in one package; flaxseed, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts & Q10 is in another. I loved shelled hemp seeds mixed into my afternoon yogurt. Health food has come a long way over time and now it’s trendy and something you can look forward to playing with.

Linwoods (www.LinwoodsHealthFoods.com) makes it easy to play with Super Food nutrition. It’s a lunchbox option.  I had great success with mixing it into pancakes. Makers say to sprinkle it onto snacks without it changing the flavor. Try it in mac and cheese or muffins, they suggest.

Just one look at Setton Farms new Pistachio Chewy Bites and you can sense the dense, sweet, satisfaction within. Cranberries and agave nectar are gluten- and dairy-free on-the-go snacks that will hold you over. Little as they are, some of this rich concoction kept me going. It’s a snack you don’t regret. The greens and reds of nuts and berries are like mosaic art.
