"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Homemade Crunchy Wheat Cereal with Flaxseed

I have been making my homemade cereal with flaxseed added. I simply make the cereal, as shown here, but I stir in a couple of cups of flaxseed meal before the final baking. When the cereal has been transformed from a "cake" into "nuggets" by the blender and are on the pans ready for the oven, I pour some whole flax seeds into the blender and let it whir them into meal, which I then stir into the nuggets before baking. It works great and the flaxseeds are a very healthy addition to an already healthy treat. I eat a cup of the cereal with yogurt every morning.

You sure do come up with some creative ways to eat healthily. I hope I can pick up on some of that as I get older and wiser.
