Today all I have for you are pictures. Savor them.
The new “super food” – chia seeds. Stir them into any liquid and they will firm up like a gel. I used them to make raw, vegan pudding.
Sweetened with dates and maple syrup.
My farmers’ market bounty!

Celebrating a friend’s belated birthday is always a good excuse to make this marbled cake with browned-butter frosting and cocoa nibs.
45 or more minutes later…
Delicious peach butter!
Stir into yogurt. Use as a topping for chicken. Eat it with peanut butter on toast.
Zucchini squares and fresh corn on the cob!
Definitely a delicious weekend.

Once I managed to get past the tendency of those pesky little seeds to get stuck in my teeth, I started to love chia! Have you tried any of the beverages with chia? I want to try making something like that at home.
I have not tried any beverages with chia, Rachel. I will have to check that out! Maybe mixed in with my morning yogurt and granola…
I hope there’ll be recipes soon… those zucchini squares look good!
The zucchini squares look great – and I don’t like zucchini (too squishy, usually). The peach butter looked yummy as well. Love the idea of it with peanut butter on toast. I keep hearing about Chia seeds, so I guess I will have to try some. They aren’t by chance the droppings from a Chia Pet, are they? (If so, Grandma Mabie would have called them Chia “tickets”)
You should try this recipe, Aunt Stace. It’s not squishy at all, well besides the fact that it’s made with eggs. It’s like a cross between a biscuit and a quiche texture.
