Bev,
You can make a pudding by griding a couple tablespoons of flax seed and
adding them with a little fresh fruit (banana, kiwi, strawberries, etc)
in a blender, sweetened if you like with a little honey, a little lemon
juice and vanilla for extra flavor. I let them set up in the fridge in
individual cups and garnish with some lemon peel freshly grated. Because
the seeds are so gelatinous they make a good pudding and once you get
the hang of it since there' no cooking involved you can knock out an
elegant, healthful dessert in no time at all.
