Peanut Butter Chia Seed Cookies

Let me introduce you to my newest little friends - chia seeds. And because I know you're wondering, yes, chia as in the pet. Not only can these little seeds grow a lush head of green hair, but they also are considered a superfood, high in fiber, protein and omega-3s. One of the most versatile seeds of its kind, chia seeds can be used in baked goods, drinks or puddings or used to add a crunch to salads. When added to liquids, chia seeds can expand to 10x their size and have a gelatinous texture, almost like tapioca. Since they're said to be most nutritious in their gel form, I've been adding chia seeds to my greek yogurt for some added nutrition, or to a class of orange juice.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins

I've never been much of a breakfast person. Don't get me wrong, I love eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes and all those other amazing breakfast foods, but I rarely have time to eat them. If I'm lucky enough to eat breakfast at all, I grab a granola bar or eat a greek yogurt. On occasion I'll eat cereal (though I still think that eating cereal everyday as a kid made me have an aversion to it as an adult).
