Read More...Chia Pudding
There is no right and wrong with Chia Seed Pudding. Be creative and make it your own. Here are a couple of my favorites! Chia seeds Your favorite milk (almond or coconut) Your favorite yogurt Vanilla extract Maple syrup Salt Fall chia pudding- Canned Pumpkin, dash of cinnamon, dash of fresh nutmeg Toppings- be creative! You’ll want to use 1/4 cup chia seeds per every 1 cup of yogurt and 1 cup milk. I throw it all in and never measure it out so you really can’t go wrong. Add a dash of salt, a tsp of vanilla, and about 2 Tb or as much maple syrup as you like. For the pumpkin pudding add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, and 1 to 2 Tb of canned pumpkin. The pumpkin isn’t that sweet so I would also add more maple syrup. Cover and refrigerate mixture for a couple of hours or overnight. Add any toppings you like. Some of my favorites are pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and coconut. The possibilities are endless!

Thanksgiving is one week away! As much as I can’t wait for the big day, I love the leftovers just as much. Here is a yummy idea for lunch the next day. Add an egg or two to your stuffing and mix it all together to form a patty. Sauté the stuffing cake until brown and cooked through on both sides. Top with turkey and a poached egg. Drizzle leftover gravy and cranberry sauce.
