Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seed pudding is quick, easy and delicious!  It can be enjoyed as both a breakfast or a dessert, and requires minimal effort.

Guava Pots de Crème

Guava isn't common where I live, so I had never bought fresh guava before, but these ones smelled so amazing that I couldn't resist.  They were small, but so ripe and amazing!  The tartness of the guava makes it work well in a dessert that has a sweeter component to balance it out.

Vegetable Loaded Zucchini Chicken Carbonara

I have always been a huge fan of both pasta and vegetable dishes.  Since buying my spiralizer last year, I have found myself satisfying both loves in a new way.

Roasted Caesar Salad

I have to admit that I actually love salad; there's nothing like a nice big bowl of vegetables to make me happy.

I went to a restaurant with a couple of girlfriends and we decided to try their grilled Caesar.  It sounded great but, unfortunately, it was soggy and bland.  However, I loved the idea of a grilled salad, so I decided to try it at home.  And, being the vegetable lover that I am, I added lots of lovely extras!

Hydrating Chia Seeds: 3 Consistencies

I'm sure most people are aware of chia seeds, but I know that a lot of people aren't sure how to use them.  You can certainly eat them dry (i.e. throw a tablespoon into your cereal), but I prefer to hydrate mine first.  For me though, there isn't a one-measurement fits all hydration; the consistency is determined by the how I plan to use it.
