1 t. flax seed
And that’s it! Not only did it [...]

I got this recipe from Heather at Heather Eats Almond Butter. I used the lesser amount of honey instead of Agave because I was low on Agave Nectar. Because of this they were a little drier so I made granola instead of cookies like Heather did. Try it either way though!
1 c. oats, toasted (toast [...]

It gives puddings and smoothies and really good thick texture. It doesn’t have a ton of taste so it [...]

I got a little creative here. I had some strawberries that were about to be too soft so I was trying to think of something I could do with mashed strawberries. I started by mashing up some strawberries and some frozen raspberries. I wanted something to stir into it so I made a little lemon [...]
