Sweet and Salty Oat Scones

These little round scones are a softer and chewier adaptation of oatcakes, a traditional Scottish hard crackers or biscuits that are served with jam, dip or on their own.

Overnight Chia Oat Pudding

Overnight Chia-Oat Pudding

Chia seeds are fascinating little bundles of Omega-3s.  When they’re soaked in water, a gelatinous coating forms around the seed, very much like tomato seeds.  I like mashed banana in this because it thickens the mixture while adding a lot of volume.  If the pudding is too thin for your liking, you can add more chia seeds and let it sit for 10 more minutes.

Neapolitan Chia-Banana Parfait

This is as much a dessert as it is a breakfast. Seriously, when’s the last time you had dessert for breakfast, and didn’t feel guilty about it? These parfaits taste like a decadent frozen dessert, but only involve layers of overnight chia-seed pudding, frozen banana cream, and an array of mix-ins (or you can also plop everything in a bowl if you prefer not to layer them).

Few things are lovelier or more refreshing than a salad of freshly cut fruit. The only way to make an already-great fruit salad better?  A drizzle of bright, lightly sweet lime-agave dressing.
