Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia

Have you tried these yet? Being a vegetarian, along with my two growing girls, I'm always looking for a way to sneak in a little more nutrition where ever i can. Finding a source of omega-3's is tricky when you don't eat fish { or enough of an omega rich vegetable!}

Get a load of these numbers- 1 tablespoon contains 5g's fiber, 3g's protein and 2.5g's omega-3.

Nice, right? And, they're Kosher.

We mix them into smoothies and blend them into peanut butter spread on sprouted whole wheat bread.But our favorite way to enjoy them, is baked into muffins!

These are the Maple Oatmeal Muffins from Midwest Living Magazine. I added about 10 tablespoons of chia seed to the mix. The seeds give you a little crunch like a poppy seeds would.

Dee-lish!
Speaking of dee-lish, here is Miss. Millie at 9 weeks in the snow last week. Unfortunately, the snow melted away into a mess of mud. Ugh, there's nothing like 12 muddy paws stomping through your kitchen ; P

Hope you have a happy, mud free Thursday!
