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!

I would love to use chia seeds in the oatmeal and with granola. PS had a bagel thin today- and LOVE it. had it as an egg sandwich but love the cheese and jelly combo that you always eat!
Definitely would like to try them in overnight oats and perhaps to thicken up my morning green smoothies. It’s disappointing when I can’t eat my smoothies with a spoon because I added in a little too much water.
I love chia seed pudding! That coconut granola looks delicious, though. I’ll have to try it.
i agree with most comments on here, i’d love to enjoy mine on a delicious BAGELWICH 🙂
I would love to try chia seeds in baked goods. I’ve created some of my own “healthified” versions of recipes for muffins and cookies, and I’ve read that “chia gel” can be substituted for butter/oil!
I’ve never tried these before, I’ve wanted to buy them for a while now but am tight on extra cash. However this could be my opportunity, if I win this contest!
Definitely to add some crunch to oatmeal in the morning!
I’d love to try them in overnight oats! I’ve tried overnight oats before, but they didn’t turn out so well, thanks to the lack of chia seeds. However, I use chia seeds in my hot oatmeal every morning, and love them to death!
I would love to try chia seeds in overnight oats!
I want to try your chia seed pudding! Also, I think I’m going to make overnight oats for the first time tonight. You’ve inspired me!
In a quinoa salad!
Overnight oats for sure! I eat them almost every morning.
I have never tried them, but I am willing to give it a spin. I have tried overnight oats and cheese and jelly wraps. So, i am game! Send them on.
I gave up chocolate for lent so a chocolate chia seed pudding seems like a great way to break lent on Easter!
I would love to try them in overnight oats! And the pudding looks delicious too!!
I would add the chia seeds to my daily english muffin w/peanut butter & raisins!
I’m a little jealous of your salad…I can’t wait until I can get my hands on a decent tomato!
I’d like to try some chia seeds–the big bags can be kind of expensive and I don’t want to pay for the whole thing until I’m sure I’m going to use them!!
AH! I’d love to win! I really want the chia pudding! I’ve seen it on Gabrielas blog and on here and it looks divine!
I love putting them in smoothies or in oatgurt bowls. I’m almost totally out so this would be great!
My dad first introduced me to chia seeds when he started adding them into our protein shakes, but I would like to try them in chia pudding and in oatmeal! I like that you take advantage of their texture in all of your meals!
I would love to use them for pudding!
I want to try that choco pudding! I’ve had success replacing them as the poppyseeds in Lemon Poppy Seed dressing
I’d love to try the chia seed pudding!
I would try them in overnight oats or in a smoothie or something like that!! can’t wait to try them!
I think the Chia seeds would be great in my salads. I also might try them in my protien balls – PB, honey, oats, a few choc chips.
I’ve only ever had Chia seeds blended up in protein shakes, but I would like to try them in chia pudding and in oatmeal! I like that you take advantage of their texture in all of your meals!
In my morning oatmeal!!!
I’ve actually never tried chia seeds, but I read about you loving them all the time, and definitely want to give them a shot! I think I might try some overnight oats 🙂
In baking! I looove baking and love trying new recipes to give to my family and friends. Since summer is coming up so rapidly (yikes!) it’s time to get some healthy foods on the schedule to get ready for bathing suit season!!
Love the blog!!
I haven’t tried chia seeds yet but I would use them to make granola bars. 🙂
I’d like to add them to my morning oatmeal. I think they would add a nice subtle crunch.
YAY i love your little jam container! and i love chias in oatmeal!! i have a US address to ship to FYI 😀
I used to make my overnight oats sans Chia seeds until I FINALLY found them at Whole Foods (which cost an arm and a leg for such a tiny amount). But it was TOTALLY worth it – I love the texture it gives, ESP to the overnight oats.
gimme gimme gimme!! =) please?? haha
I would definitely have these little guys in oatmeal!
I love Chia Seeds but i have never tried them in a smoothie so I’d like to try that out!!!
I think I’d be like you and use them on just about everything! I’ve never tried them before but I guarantee that a bag that big won’t last long in my house.
Fingers crossed**I never win anything
My favorite way to use chia seeds is to put them in a morning yogurt bowl. Love the texture!
I would like to put them in some homemade granola bars! 🙂
I’d love to try them in overnight oats like you! Maybe even the chocolate kind!

In my morning smoothies! Or oatmeal! Or sprinkled on almond butter toast w/bananas! Pretty much everywhere! 🙂
I eat overnight oats every. single. day. and would love to try chia seeds in them!

I’ve become obsessed with chocolate overnight oats and chia seeds have become an integral part of them. Once I tried them I’ve never looked back!
Mixed with oatmeal and applesauce!
I want to add them to my favorite whole wheat blueberry oat bread recipe!
I would love to try making them into that pudding-letting them soak and get all fluffy.
On top of a big huge salad with BUTTER LETTUCE like yours. it’s my favorite and I love, love, love adding crunch to my salads 🙂
