So, I'm excited to participate in the Parade of Giveaways this year.
First, I love to do food storage and be prepared.I've been canning like crazy and building up my food storage - especially now - to get ready for winter.
Do you use flaxseed? Do you know what to do with it? Since it is my prize, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about it. This is a 1.5 pound bag of heart healthy golden flaxseed. Flaxseed is full of good Omega-3 fats and provides good amounts of fiber to your diet. Everyone needs more fiber in their diet, right? It is best to eat flaxseed when freshly ground - so your body can absorb the maximum amount of nutrients available from the flax.
This golden flaxseed is an Idaho Preferred product and is a great variety for baking. I add it to almost everything I bake: cookies, breads, muffins, cakes. It even is a great substititue for eggs in your baking recipes. You only need to take 3 Tablespoons cold water and 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed and whip them together. Allow this mixture to sit until a little slimy (about 1 minute) and you have a great replacement for 1 egg.

Just remember to grind your flaxseed in a spice grinder or a coffee grinder - something that can handle oily seeds. A flour mill is usually not able to handle flaxseed.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 264 of 264I loved learning about Spelt. I have never heard about it before. I have heard so much about Flax lately but I've never tried it. This would be the perfect opportunity. I'm trying to feed my family a little healthier.
I've had flaxseed before, but I've never cooked with it myself. I look forward to trying it!
I love using flax seed in homemade bread and muffins. It just adds that extra something because of the texture. I also love that it's a heart healthy additive!
PS...I would like to enter the giveaway!
I have been reading on this but can't share it with my family. They don't like trying new things. I have to sneak anything new into their food. I bet this would help my autistic son with getting fiber into him.
I am SO EXCITED about the information you have on the Classic Universal Bosch! I love love love my Bosch. My son has life threatening food allergies and while it's been challenging, it's been so fun to learn to do all these healthy things and to get excited about being self sufficient. My Bosch and wheat grinder have become my best friends, as it's cheaper for me to make my own bread, and I have to make everything else from scratch.
I also loved your egg replacement information. One of his allergies is to eggs, so we've been eggless (and milkless, soyless, peanutless, MSGless) for over a year now.
I would also love to be entered into your drawing!
Have recently incorporated Spelt into my food storage. I don't know much about spelt (yet!) Please enter me in the Parade of Giveaways. Thanks!
I am doing my best to get my food storage in high gear. Your website has been a great help!!
I love the taste of toasted flax seeds. I'll add them to granola or yogurt or cereal or muffins or whatever for the extra nutty crunch!
Thank you . . these giveaways are awesome.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this.
I have used flaxseed in baking bread, with whole wheat, oats, and other combinations of grain. I usually grind it and add it with the flour. It adds a nutty deep flavor alond with the nutrition.
For one loaf of bread I usually add about 1/2 c ground seed.
I use flaxseed in my kids smoothies to help make them more regular :)
I would like to enter your drawing!
Thanks!!
Parade of Giveaways...I love flaxseed, take it daily and finding a good, helthful source for it is very important to me! Thanks to Food Storage Made Easy I have found that source!
I like the information you have about flax and spelt. I am going to the try the egg thing. Someone told me about substituting flax for eggs and using it to make french toast.
I came along this blog for the Parade of Giveaways, but I have bookmarked the page. Thanks for your info.

I just started using Flax Seed as an egg substitute. We found out my DH has an intolerance to eggs. Has worked well in baked goods and pancakes.
I would like to enter your drawing.
Flax is fabulous stuff: we use it in cereals, breads, muffins, bumpy smoothies, and anything else we can get away with. It is one of the best and tastiest ways of making everyday foods extra healthy with lots of fiber. We do all we can to improve our diet, and I'm happy to toot my horn about it!
I am just beginning to use flax in my baking. I like to add it to bax pancake mix to add fiber and nutrition. I would love to have some to experiment with and learn more about it!
I'm new to Flax but a huge fan of food storage. I know the big box stores are helpful, but my secret weapon this month was Smith's Caselot sale. I saved around 45% on my food storage purchases. And I didn't have to go crazy with coupons. I just bought at the right time.
Thanks for letting me enter your drawing!
I'm fascinated by your website as I just found several recipes that use flax seed that I would like to try. One of them is for Granola that looks so tasty. I'm pretty new at healthy eating and since my husband had a heart attack I have tried to fix healthier meals and use healthier ingredients. Thank you for your wonderful website!
Also, please enter me in the Parade of Giveaways! Thanks!
i would love to win. i have been thinking of getting some, but my local grocery does not carry so this would be a great way to try it out.
my doctor has suggested increasing my fiber intake and i believe flax has a lot of fiber.
I put ground flax into as much as possible and have used it to thicken a sauce or two. We would definitely appreciate a prize of flax seed!
The egg replacement tip is phenomenal. Here in ND, lots of flax and spelt recipes we enjoy, the two combined are wonderful in breads! Kids love the flax cookies (and don't know how good it is for them, he, he!)
Appreciate your participation in the drawing...shipping to ND is low cost :).
I have been reading about the benefits of flax seed and would love to try it! Thanks for your awesome site.

I love eating ground flaxseed by the tablespoon full but I have been forgetting to do so. It tastes great and makes me feel good. Plus, the nutritional boost is fabulous! I love your website. Thanks for this contest!
I've used flax seed in oatmeal and smoothies. I'd love to learn more ways to incorporate it into daily living. My uncle swears that it was the secret to helping his cholesterol numbers.

I love to add flax seed to my yogurt, but it looks like I should be adding it to almost everything! I'm excited to have found your blog...I have a dozen or so that I check up on with food storage. Enter me into your drawing!
When we were stationed in England we bought fresh spelt flour from the local farmers, it was superb! Would love to try this product to do some tasty comparisons!
I like your giveaway and the website! I have just recently become interested in flax seed. I added it to everything. Then my mother-in-law told me I was doing it wrong and needed to grind the flax seed first before adding it to anything. I didn't know why until I read your blog. Makes sense! Thanks!
I'm new to your website and must admit I've never used flaxseed or spelt. I'd love to win this giveaway and give flaxseed a try. I'm learning so much about healthier eating as I read your posts. Thank you for the great information!
Spelt is a wonderful addition to bread and makes great pasta!!
I'm so thrilled to find your site. I've been trying to incorporate healthier foods into my family's diet and look forward to looking more into your site. I wish I had something good to post, but I'm still a newbie at the healthy stuff. Thanks!
After buying ground flaxseed for several years, I am now grinding my own and love it. Please enter me in your flaxseed give-away.
Flax seeds make the best crackers!!!! You can soak them for a while and then add seasonings, & veggies in the food processor then spread them on a dehydrator sheet and dry them till they crunch!!! yum. so good for you too.
I would like to also enter your drawing!!!
Good luck to everyone, great posts btw.

I like to add flax seed to my smoothies and to bread. I didn't realize it had to be ground, I was so glad when someone clued me in.
I would like to enter the give-away.

Thanks for the great information. I would like to use more flax in my family foods and it is also a great egg substitute which helps if you have allergies.
I'm very excited to have discovered your blog through this give away. I love flax and spelt and using a variety of grains! Thanks
I use my coffee grinder and grind my flax seed and add it to my homemade granola as well as my smoothies.

I'm very interested in learning more. Thank you for participating in this giveaway so I could find out about your business.
I used flax all the time in baking and as an egg substitute for my vegan son. It tastes great in breads and hot cereals and gives us non-animal omega-3's.
I would also like to enter your drawing!
I was excited to learn about flax seed being a substitute for eggs. I recently stopped eating animal products and have struggled with substitutes for eggs in baking. Also please enter me in the giveaway!
I want to be entered in the Parade of Giveaways. I don't think I know anything about flax seed and how to use it. This will be a great website to explore.

I am interested in the Giveaway. I have recently learned about the benefits of using flaxseed. My father has fibromyalgia. He has been grinding flaxseed and sprinkling it on his foods everyday. It has so many health benefits. I want to incorporate flaxseed into my families daily diet. I would love more information as to how much to start off with on a daily basis. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I look forward to learning more about flaxseed.
I have been searching for someone to teach me about the importance of using different grains and why. I am excited to learn.
I would love to enter the drawing
I am new to your blog. I really like it. Food storage is very important. I can't believe more people aren't doing it.

Your blog is SO informational! Once again, you've proven that you can "teach an old dog new tricks!"
I love Flax. I add it to everything I cook. I do foster care and the kids come and go. None of them ever complain about taste or texture. They love the food. I would love to be part of the giveaway.
I love that you can add it to wheat bread, and the potato roll recipe sounds so good!
I love all of the spelt recipes. I've heard so much about the product, but have never tried it. I've also found that it is a great enhancement when making your own dog treats. Flax seed is very good for dogs - especially for those who feed only raw or natural products to their canine friends. :) Thanks so much for your fantastic website!
I am also interested in entering the parade of giveaways.
I love flaxseeds. I started taking them when I found out I have osteoporosis at age 30. Not cool. But the elements in flax help strengthen bones. One of my cousins in Canada also told me they put flax in their cement to create their roads because it is strong. I found that very interesting!
Used to grind and use in homemade baby food.
I love using flaxseed in my bread recipes. and sprinkled on my cereal in the morning.
I would like to enter your drawing. Thanks
I love using flaxseed when baking my bread and on my cereal too.
My daughter enjoys spelt bread & I eat golden flax everyday. I want to be in the give-away
I put 2 tbsp of ground flax seed in my daily smoothies. I love it!! I'd also love to win some of your flaxseed... :)

I am in the process of researching flaxseed for my daughter and came across this website. So far, good information about healthy grains. Thank you.
