There have been a lot of delicious looking cookie dough-flavoured Overnight Oats over the last little while (like this one or this one) that were just too tempting to not try. I don't eat oats myself, but you know you're a foodie when you still want to try a recipe for something you don't necessarily partake in. Conveniently, Andrew loves them! Looking through some existing recipes, I was wondering how it was possible that so few ingredients would turn into something cookie dough tasting, but they were pretty on the ball! I used them as an inspiration and here's what I came up with. Who says you can't have cookies for breakfast? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Overnight Oats Yields: 1 man-sized portion For oats: 3/4 C rolled oats 2 tablespoons of chia pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract (optional) 1/2 tablespoon of raw honey/maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener) 1 C non-dairy milk (almond, soy, it...

Again, keep up the entries to my dehydrator giveaway , only 3 more days left (Sunday night at 11:59 all bets are off!) Everyone has their eating ups and downs, but on a raw diet it seems that most the time the options are up, higher, or highest. Today was our big packing day which included lots of furniture, 53 boxes, and our kitty and plants still in tow... sounds tiring right? Well after the power breakfast we had, I've gotta say I've never felt better! To prepare for our big day, I listened to an intuition I had yesterday to make something with chia. I always listen to these types of "cravings" because I believe it's often your body telling you that you might be missing a key nutrient found in the food you are craving (obviously this only works on a raw diet, I doubt a craving for Doritos is really anything to get worked up about). So I made Meredith 's Blueberry Chia Pudding and added mesquite and maca powder to the mix. I know it seems a simple thing to ...

If you're the kind of person who likes a challenge, I've got one for you: try to take a photo of soaked chia seeds and make them look tasty (as opposed to the primordial goo from which all life was born). Part of our complete breakfast this morning (or should I say "our complete breakfast this morning...") was Meredith 's Blueberry & Chia Pudding. It was the perfect balance or warmth and yumminess. Even Andrew who wasn't originally a huge fan of soaked chia thought it was great! Chia, an edible seed, is really something I encourage you to make a part of your own diet. And yes, the ones we eat are the same ones as we sprout as Chia Pets. Urban legend says that they are SO nutrient packed that one tablespoon can sustain you for 24 hours. More conservative estimates say that one tablespoon a day makes your much needed calcium levels shoot through the roof (so yes, you can definitely get enough--and a better source--of calcium on a raw diet by eating chia see...
