The other day, I caught myself sprinkling a tablespoon of ground flaxseed onto a warm and bowl of morning oats and fruit. This is force of habit as much as anything else: I’m simply very accustomed to putting flax into my oats as they cook, or sprinkling it upon them after. As soon as I [...]

I’m such a tease. First I allude to a Halloween-themed sweet treat, then I deliver it not only a day later than promised, but also two days after Halloween itself.
