Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

April 1, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’m a little late to the chia seed pudding game. As a dietitian, you would think I’d be all over the latest and greatest food trends. But I’m a sceptic. And so I like to wait and see if a food trend is really going to make it for the long-haul or be gone in a week. It seems chia seeds have made their mark on foodies everywhere and will be hanging around for quite some time….and honestly, if you’re making chocolate chia seed pudding, I see no reason for chia seeds to move out of the spotlight anytime soon. They definitely have a permanent home in my pantry.

Acorn Squash Chili

This is one of those recipes that you will make again and again and again, promise. Every fall, the anticipation starts to build as I wait for the stores to stock the produce section with acorn squash so I can make this chili. During the winter we probably have acorn squash chili close to once a week. It is my go-to winter recipe. And it is so simple! Only four ingredients! I kind of feel like I’m cheating because this recipe is so easy. Acorn squash, salsa, beans, sausage, and toppings. I adapted my recipe from a Better Home and Gardens issue from, oh, probably like five years ago… and it has become a staple ever since the first time I made it. The weather is starting to get warmer, and so I feel like I only have a weeks left of soup and chili making.

The cold, dreary months are all about soups at our house. Nothing better than the slow simmer of a giant pot of soup on the stove, letting the smell drift around the house as the flavors meld together. This kale sausage soup is easy to make and so, so good! This soup has become another one of our staple recipes. I know it’s now officially spring, but Idaho is still cold, and I’m still craving winter soups. I love warming up to a steaming hot bowl of soup when the weather outside is not so inviting.
