Thank you all for the encouraging words last week… I’m gradually get out of my blogging slump, and along with that, I have been making healthier meals! I’ve managed to get back on track this week and made quite a few healthy meals and snacks. I’ve managed to stay on track with my workouts, too!
Instead of telling you more of the same about my healthy goals, I thought I’d announce a giveaway this week for my Ten in 10 update…
FlaxMatters.com Giveaway…
You may have noticed that I have been using milled golden flax in quite a few of my recipes lately… I love the added fiber and health benefits of the flax, and it is easy to incorporate into baked goods! I find that it works well with the whole grain recipes that I love to try. Flax can be substituted for egg by using 1 tablespoon of the milled golden flax and 3 tablespoons of water in the place of 1 egg in recipes.
Lucky for all of you, FlaxMatters.com has agreed to give away a bag of their blueberry blend and a bag of the milled golden flax to not one, but TWO lucky readers!

I would love to try using more flax in my baking. Especially since my son doesn’t notice that there’s a “healthy” ingredient mixed in! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I love using flax in my baking and cooking to add extra healthy nutrients in it!
I registered! I’ve never actually tried flax, but my roommate is crazy over it. It seems like a way to sneak a ton of healthy bits into my cooking, which I think would be great for me and my non-veggie eating boyfriend.
I’d love to try using flax. I’ve never used it before, but I keep hearing about how healthy it is!
I’m glad you’re getting out that blogging slump. Keep at it!!!
What’s nice about having your own blog, if you don’t feel the blogging bug, you can sit back and take a break. But I am glad you’re back!
just registered! i would love to try flax seed — i have been trying to eat more healthfully lately and also eat in a way that is better for the environment — i just signed up for my local CSA! my boyfriend is vegetarian and so i eat a vegetarian diet for about 80+% of my meals and am beginning to realize how important it is to understand the nutritional value of what you are eating. i love to bake and flax seed would add a little extra bonus nutritional value to the sinful baked goods i will make in the future!
thanks for a great giveaway
I would also love to try flax seed in my baking – my dad won’t eat anything he thinks is “healthy” or involves the word “fibre” but I know that if I could get flax into some killer muffins, he would never know the difference!

Just registered! So funny – I was watching an episode of Martha Stewart on my DVR today and she had a woman on talking about allergen-free baking today. She mentioned the flax substitute for eggs and then I pop over here and see your giveaway! Would love to give it a shot.
I registered. I have never seen flax with fruit in it, what a great idea for baking. Also, I love the website, so many recipes and ideas for things to do with flax! Thanks for the giveaway :)
I registered! I’ve never tried flax before, but I’ve heard amazing things about its benefits. I want to try it in smoothies, and of course in those scones you just made! :)
I registered! And I’d love to try them out as a way to get a better dource of Vitamin E, I remember eating them on cheerios as a kid
Just registered and I am very excited about trying flax in baking.
For 2010, hubby & I are tying to eat healthier and lose some weight. Honestly, I thought flax was one of those “weirdo” things that only health-nut-freaks use. But after viewing your amazing, lip-smacking recipe for healthy honey beer bread … let’s just say I may be a changed woman! I think I’m ready to give flax a chance! :)
What a great (and healthy!) giveaway! I really believe in the health benefits of flax seed and I love baking with flax seed meal – I put at least a little in nearly everything I bake (muffins and especially breads!). I stir some in my yogurt and even take flax seed oil caps!
Oh, and blueberry? My favorite flavor. :-)
Oh, yes! And I registered!
