Chocolate Chia Mousse

Have you ever cooked with chia seeds? I often add chia seeds to my smoothies. They contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a lot of other good stuff.

It was boring and the seeds turn into a weird texture, almost slimy, when they sit …

Sticky Buns

The cinnamon roll vs sticky bun debate rages on… If you missed the Cinnamon Roll post and prefer your rolls of cinnamon to be simply glazed instead of sticky and gooey, then head on back to that post here.  I assure you that you will not be disappointed.  If you did catch it then you must have been anxiously awaiting these. Without further ado, I leave in you in goods with my husband… As a kid wandering the mall with my dad and brother we would often follow our noses to the T.J. Cinnamons that was somewhere off to the side …
