But first we must cover lunch. 🙂
Tuesday Lunch
Today’s mid-day meal included a big ol’ salad, composed of:
- Butter lettuce
- Celery
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Leftover sausage
- Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Gettin' Mah Veggies!
A cup of plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of grape jelly rounded out my meal.
Before moving onto the giveaway, I just wanted to let you know that the Fashion page was updated this afternoon. 🙂
Chia Seeds Giveaway
Though I only recently discovered the beauty that is chia seeds, once I tried the nutritous little seeds, I fell in love.
Chia!
I fell hard and I fell fast thanks to their amazing nutritional profile (omega3s + fiber + protein + antioxidants and more!). Their fantastic crunch and ability to thicken overnight oats like nobody’s business just sealed the deal for me! Plus, they make a great addition to smoothies, cereal, granola bars, baked goods, salads, oatmeal and more!
And here’s the good news! Now you can win a two-pound bag of chia seeds from ChiaSeedsDirect.com. ChiaSeedsDirect.com is a company that solely sells chia seeds, offering high-quality chia seeds at low prices with free shipping to U.S residents!
Bag of Seeds!
I received a bag of their seeds and have really enjoyed using them in my overnight oats…
Overnight Oats
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
Bagelwich
And coconut granola!
Coconut Granola
They’re pretty darn great.
To enter this giveaway, simply comment below, telling me one way you would like to enjoy chia seeds!
This giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada and I will randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck!

Ch-ch-ch-chia!! Between oogling your bagelwiches and then the chocolate chia seed pudding I simply must try these! 🙂 Mmmmm … are there limits to the Chia seed?? I’m wondering if you’ve ever tried sprinkling them into a stir-fry … or on top of a salad … ?
I love chia seeds in some yogurt with fresh fruit and a bit of almonds! Yum!
