But first we must cover lunch. 🙂
Today’s mid-day meal included a big ol’ salad, composed of:
- Butter lettuce
- Celery
- Tomatoes
- Carrots
- Leftover sausage
- Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
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.
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!
I received a bag of their seeds and have really enjoyed using them in my overnight oats…
And 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!

Diana says
I’ve been wanting to try chia seeds ever since I saw them on your blog. I love flax seeds, but they tend to make everything kind of gummy once they absorb liquid, which can be…strange.
I’ve yet to try a bagelwich; gluten-free bagels are REALLY high in calories, and big too (at least the ones that taste best do). I’m trying to find a healthier, tasty version, so my quest continues…
Darcie S. says
As a fellow smoothie addict – I think that chia seeds would be a great addition to my morning ritual (plain Greek yogurt, spinach, lots of fruit, and a bit of orange juice). Also – I think I would really like to try it in my yogurts, as I also want crunch in everything! Thanks!
Dee S says
