"Cream of Chia" for Breakfast!

-
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.  They are high in protein and fat and have few net carbs, which is great for a ketogenic diet.  Last night, I made chocolate chia pudding.  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 ...

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

Broccoli "Cheese" Soup

-
I have mixed feelings about using Daiya cheese, but sometimes you just need a "fixing" when you do not eat dairy.  I have to watch the carb content on this, as well, because Daiya cheese does have carbs.  This soup is not enough to kick me out of ketosis, though,  I don't always like this "cheese" and it doesn't always melt the way that I would like it to, but, in soup, I hardly even notice that it isn't the real deal.  I was skeptical when I first used it, but my entire family ate it and approved. Now...you probably have noticed that I like to amp up the vegetables in any of the food that I make.  Regular Broccoli Cheese Soup has cheese and broccoli...and maybe some onions.  I found that I could sneak so much more than that into my children's bellies by sneaking in some carrots, celery and onions into this soup.  Furthermore, I use red onions because my Doctor of Functional Medicine told me that Americans are most deficient in purples and dark blu...
