I found out today that I won. It will be featured in the January 2008 newsletter I also get a goody bag from the manufacturer

Hemp is full of

Omega 3 and 6 EFA's (essential fatty acids)
Fiber
Protein - I started using it because I am not a morning person and was searching for a soy free, dairy free, rice free protein smoothie (we have allergies and dietary preferences). And for a really long time we were all struggling to get enough protein in our diets so I add it to MANY of our recipes that have flour

It's also very naturally sweet so when I use it in smoothies no sweetener necessary I use oat milk, banana, frozen fruit. o.j. and greens and it's super yummy

Because I need more protein in the morning I started playing with my waffle recipe and added it to that (what you see above). Then just a few days ago, I added it to our pancake recipe. That needs work because it's heavier than flour so they were kind of flat but I'll probably try again tomorrow..

I also want to keep playing with the waffles to get this to a "soaked" flour recipe as our dietary preference is to soak all our grains and flours
