If I'm adding it to something I don't want to really thicken, I add it last so it doesn't have time to gel up.

Sometimes just sprinkle over my steamed veggies with a little dressing.

However, w/flax products you need to be aware of the shelf life. I have found that the most stable form is as a seed. It can be found in some specialty stores in bulk & often organically grown to boot! If you have a coffee grinder it is the easiest way to grind them for easy use. I'll grind about 4 heaping Tsp full in the am to use in my family's b-fast or snacks for the day. It ends up being about 2 servings ground flax for each of them & they never even know! Hahaha! My husband likes the hint of nutty flavor in his coffee too! Enjoy! Heidi Heidi

We actually killed our old coffee grinder by using it for seeds so much. So we bought a better one that can do coffee but is targeted at seeds and nuts. hmm wonder if I should add that to the kitchenware thread... --Deb R
