Healthy Snacks-2014... Crunch Appeal

Okay, so you all know I'm trying to limit my sugar  and chicken intake. I'm very mindful of sugar and
when enough is enough, so I still have a way to go. I came upon a recipe some years ago when diagnosed with myeloma and reading on the benefits of adding flax seed to diet.

Flax seed is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, which helps in reducing bone lost, stabilizing blood sugar, promoting weight loss, as well as increasing your immune system.

I have to admit I'm a snacker and it's something about getting the munchies just when it's time to call it a night that the snack attack occurs. I like snacks that crunch... I don't know maybe it's a mental thing or something. Today, we're snowed in and I need a break from my business at Spitfir, so I've played around for tonight's snack when "The Walking Dead" series comes on:)

Shall we begin?? Let's rock.....

                                                       Flax Seed Twist with a Twist

Ingredients
-Flax seed meal- 3/4 -1 cup
-Onion Salt- 1 tsp.
-1/4 tsp. of parsley
-Graham Crackers- 2 crackers
-1 cup of sterilized water
-1/2 cup of grated cheese

Let's go....

Pre-heat oven at 350 Degrees. Take graham crackers and crunch up with a small kitchen mallet, where it's nicely grinded, or use a food processor to grind. Pour in parsley and onion salt, cheese, flax seed meal, and water. Mix to you get a soft consistency but not too watery. Spread on parchment paper, about 1/8 thick throughout so that the spread is even. Bake for about 15- 20 minutes until no longer soft, but not too hard- turn carefully on opposite side for 5 more minutes. Cool and cut into mini cubes. Viola Crunch!

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...
