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!

Did you know that you can use chia seeds to moisturize your eyes? I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true, and a great tip if you have problems with dry eyes. Just put a seed or two in your eyes before you go to bed at night. It’s weird, but it works. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to try them for a while. I would probably mix them with my yogurt.
I would love to put them in my smoothies for some added oomph!

Hey Julie!
I’ve got to say, chia seeds in overnight oats is probably the best way I’ve eaten them. Especially mixed with some pumpkin and a scoop (or two!) of peanut butter! Yumm! That’s how I would plan on using up that bag ‘ol bag of seeds!

I love chia seeds!! I currently use them in smoothies, overnight oats, cooked oatmeal, and for “chia pudding” I love spreading the word about them to friends and family who think im a freak when I say Chia seeds..and Im very low so I could really use them 😉
I love chia seeds. I use them in my overnight oats mostly since they soak up so much of the liquid! 🙂

Oh man, I love chia seeds in everything! Well, except my teeth…yeah, that becomes a bit of a problem. 😉
I believe these hip little seeds o power, when added to a natural smoothie will “thicken” it enough to make you think you are almost having a full fat milkshake. So Im pumped to try these out and see if they do the trick in my smoothies!
