"Cream of Chia" for Breakfast!

- April 17, 2018

OK. So I have been out of blogging commission for a while. My dog, Turtle, ate a plastic toy and spent a few nights in the hospital after having surgery to have the toy removed from her guts. Sigh.... It has been a long, expensive, busy week. And, apparently, it was what tipped the scales from too busy to waaayyyyy too busy. Anyway, I wanted to be sure to write about and share my very recent love of all things chia. I have been using chia seeds for a while now...but never like this. Up until now, I used them as something to add to recipes in place of bread crumbs. They work fabulously well, along with flax seed meal in this capacity.

It was OK....but what I was struck by as I ate it is that the consistency reminded me of Cream of Wheat from when I was a kid....not that I only ate it ...

Tip Tuesday: Save Your Fat

My family was never one that did this...but I distinctly remember my aunt pulling out her jar of lard in the kitchen when she was cooking. I remember that I thought it was disgusting...and terribly unhealthy...and I wondered how one collected that much lard. How could they eat like that and not care about their health?! The horror!!!

I, honestly, did not think about it until my sister-in-law, who went to culinary arts school and also eats keto, told me that she always saves her bacon grease. It does not need to be refrigerated...and can be used for up to 2 weeks. (Mine never lasts that long.) I keep a mason jar by my stove...and every time I cook bacon, I drain the fat into this jar. Bacon grease is perfect for frying eggs. Nothing seems to stick to the pan when I use it. I even use it to add to a dish when I don'...

If you are interested more in my story, please click on the link below. It will take you to my website where I share more of my story and how I came to be the KetoRunningMama. My story is one of overcoming. When I was initially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I thought that the life that I was used to leading was over. I thought that I would have to accept that I was limited now. I was afraid that I would not be able to live the life for which I have worked so hard. It turns out, that God has greater plans than I do....and this awful diagnosis gave me the push that I needed to reclaim my health. If any of this resonates with you....please read more of my story, located at the link below: https://sites.google.com/view/ketorunningmama/home - Gail
