Patriotic Chia Seed Pudding



Let me clue y'all in on one of my favorite items for breakfast - chia seed pudding. I initially tried it at First Watch, but I had seen a ton of recipes for it on Pinterest so I decided to give it a whirl and y'all, it is so easy. This is just a basic, standard recipe for chia seed pudding. I usually make a batch of it on Monday and eat it throughout the rest of the week. There are so many ways to garnish and top your chia seed pudding with your favorite granolas and fruits, but I stuck with the traditional red, white, and blue for this patriotic creation.

The Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was younger all the neighborhood families used to go to decorate bikes and wagons and parade down to the park nearby behind a firetruck. It was so much fun and it always ended in bomb pops for breakfast!

Although I am a little old for the neighborhood parade, I still enjoy getting in the spirit by making red, white, and blue food. This summer especially has been crazy busy and stressful, but luckily this recipe is easy, quick, healthy, and perfect for the Fourth of July.

Pineapple Poke Cake

Happy Memorial Weekend y'all! I love easy cake recipes. They take no time to accomplish, and they're an easy crowd pleaser. With triple-digit heat on the horizon in Dallas, I wanted to make something a little summery in time for the weekend and after playing around with a few ideas, a poke cake seemed to be the winner. I initially wanted to try this with peaches and cream, but I couldn't find peaches in my cabinet so pineapple won. With that being said, this recipe can be used with a variety of canned fruit so get creative, and don't forget to tell me what you tried!
