Strawberry & Peach Chia Jam

May 30, 2013 Amanda Plott

Chia seeds are rather fascinating to me. I've often seen them tossed into rather healthy and often the most simple of recipes. They are really fun to play around with.

Don't be scared of them if you've never tried them! My mom is a little leery since the only other time she heard of them was back when 'Chia Pets' were popular. I suppose she's scared she'll start to sprout foliage. Anyway, I can't wait for her to try this jam!...

Avocado Hummus

May 28, 2013 Amanda Plott

I love hummus and i've been toying with a few different flavors lately, all of which include greek yogurt instead of tahini.

I don't have anything bad to say about tahini. I just don't have it on hand for whatever reason.

What better substitute than my good old friend greek yogurt!...

Healthified Apple Butter BBQ Sauce

May 25, 2013 Amanda Plott

This BBQ Sauce is amazing!

How amazing? I'm making some more tomorrow to take to my parents house for a BBQ and still have one more thing planned this week to do with it after that.

I was fortunate enough to get a bottle of Musselman's Apple Butter sent to me this week, at no cost. I immediately began to do research. What could I do with a bottle of apple butter? I found that there were so many things to do with it that I couldn't settle on just one.

I'm pretty fond of apple butter, but it's generally something that I use in the fall. Then it struck me. BBQ! And what's better? BBQ sauce!...
