The Botanical Bestiary is a project I had the honor of being the artist for. It's a bunch of leshy miscreants who will try to destroy you, or possibly be adopted into your party as family. It's a bit of a toss up

The Botanical Bestiary is for Pathfinder 2e and D&D 5e. It contains: 

65 leshy monsters

10 leshy heritages  You can find it on DriveThruRPG here

[That's a better vegetarian burger than a lot of meat burgers I've had. They convey neither conviction nor authority and the beans and the flaxseed, and I love the color that you pick up from the chilies.]

I threw old birdseed into my pesticide-free yard last spring. Today I harvested free flax and the mice got a fun treat.

What are the benefits of flaxseed ?

Flaxseed is one of the oldest cultivated crops, with a history of more than 6,000 years.

In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, flaxseed is used as a panacea for the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.

Flaxseed contains many nutrients that are beneficial to the human body and is regarded as one of the "superfoods".

Most importantly, flaxseed is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids and lignans.

One tablespoon (10 grams) of flaxseed contains 3,900 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids, which is 10 times more than deep-sea fish oil.

Omega-3 can lower cholesterol, reduce blood viscosity, improve blood circulation, and increase the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels.

Many studies have shown that people with high blood Omega-3 levels can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by 20% to 30%.

Flaxseed is the most lignan-containing food, with 1 teaspoon (10 grams) of flaxseed containing up to 30 mg of lignans, which is the highest known food content of lignan.

Lignans have strong antioxidant effects, and have antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, anti-cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other effects.

Flaxseeds can be ground into powder and added to any food. 1 to 2 tablespoons a day, flaxseed powder will not change the taste of food.

You can buy flaxseed powder online.

Easy version of your favorite chocolate chip cookies? Friends, we had to do it! All the flavor is still present in these vegan, gluten-free, chocolate chip cookie bars—you just need to skip the hand mixer, chilling, and scooping steps! Simply spread, stir, and bake. Plus, you only need one bowl and eight ingredients! They are almost too simple to be true—perfectly chewy, buttery, sweet, and flecked with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chunks. Now that you have your preferred mixing bowl, let us bake! How to Prepare Gluten-Free, Vegan Cookie Bars The base ingredients of these vegan + gluten-free cookie bars are flax egg for binding, brown sugar for sweetness and crisping edges, and vanilla and melted vegan butter for traditional cookie flavors! We mix them first, then move on to the dry ingredients! Sea salt brings out the flavors in every grain of our gluten-free flour blend, which is the gluten-free G.O.A.T. for simulating the texture of all-purpose flour. Baking powder also adds some lift. There is only one more ingredient needed, and it is possibly the most crucial of them all: chocolate chunks or chips! For a little crunch, we also enjoy adding walnuts, but feel free to ignore this if you are not a fan of nuts in cookies. These cookie bars should be a hit with you! They are: squishyCreamyTentativeJust right sweetnessadorned with chocolateGluten-free and vegan without a trace! Enjoy these with a glass of nondairy milk, and you will be in cookie heaven.

Do not forget to rate it, comment, and tag @minimalistbaker on Instagram. Salutations, companions! Preparation Time: Ten minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes 35 minutes in total 16 servings (bars) Dessert Course Cuisine: Vegan and Gluten-Free freezer-safe for one month Does it hold up? 3–4 Days Cook in Mode Avoid having your screen go dark. 1 tsp flaxseed meal (for flax egg preparation) 2 ½ tablespoons water (for flax egg recipe) 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar (for different results, use coconut sugar instead; see notes). 1/2 cup melted vegan butter  One teaspoon vanilla extract One-third cup MB 1:1 GF Blend*, or an alternative gluten-free blend One-third tsp baking powder Half a teaspoon of sea salt Half a cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips (we prefer Enjoy Life; make sure it is dairy-free as needed) Half a cup of finely chopped walnuts (optional, but suggested) Put parchment paper in an 8 x 8-inch baking pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius). Put aside. Combine the flaxseed meal and water in a medium-sized mixing bowl, then set aside to thicken for five minutes. Add vanilla, brown sugar, and melted vegan butter after that. Mix thoroughly to incorporate; the blend should solidify. Fold in baking powder, sea salt, and GF flour blend next. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and optional walnuts until just combined. Pour the mixture into the lined baking pan and bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is golden. Let cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before slicing into bars. The longer they sit, the better they will hold their shape, although we do love to enjoy them slightly warm! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

The brown sugar made the bars chewy, while the coconut sugar gave them a more wholesome flavor and a cakey, slightly crumbly texture.*If not gluten-free, you can try all-purpose flour in place of the gluten-free flour blend. We recommend starting with 1 ¼ cups, adding more as needed to achieve the consistency of the batter in the video.Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients.

The Cholesterol-Lowering Powers of Flaxseed

Flaxseed is a tiny, nutritious seed. It is high in protein, fiber, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Flaxseed also includes omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to promote heart health. Additionally, flaxseed includes lignans, which are phytochemicals with antioxidant capabilities that may provide health benefits.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been thoroughly researched and found to reduce inflammation, improve brain function, and cut the risk of heart disease. Flaxseed includes alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which can be transformed into healthy omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.

Flaxseed contains significant amounts of lignans, which have been related to a variety of health advantages. These include lowering the risk of breast cancer, enhancing bone health, and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lignans may possibly possess anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.

One of flaxseed's most well-known benefits is its ability to lower cholesterol and lessen the risk of heart disease. According to studies, eating flaxseed helps lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. However, further research is needed to determine the full degree of flaxseed's cholesterol-lowering properties.
