1 mom + 2 Kids Exploring California
When I get bored I want to cook. Cooking engages my brain, it smells good, it tastes good, and if I do it right, it looks good. I’ve created something wonderful from just a few random forgotten ingredients in the fridge. This quiche was no different. Its the end of the week and I have odds and ends in the fridge that need to get used up.
When Gavin falls asleep in the middle of the afternoon I know he’s about to be hit with something big. Last week in the middle of the weekend this very thing happened. One minute he was watching a video and the next he was asleep on the floor by his bed.
Chia is my new obsession and this past weekend I spent an entire day making things with chia seeds. Being dairy free I don’t get to eat many puddings, so when I discovered that chia seed pudding can be made with any type of milk and doesn’t require cooking I was sold!
To be totally honest I didn’t think the kids would like these. Gavin has told me repeatedly that he doesn’t like bananas however I figured that if the kids didn’t eat them than I would take them to work and share with my other GF friends. Unfortunately for my friends, Gavin has decided they are awesome and wants to eat them all.

I made this salad in the work lunchroom once and everyone kept commenting on how good the cut veggies smelled and how beautiful it was. So it would be an easy, yet impressive side dish for a potluck. The best thing is it only takes about 15 minutes to make.
