Blueberry Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are little nutritional powerhouses rich in Omega-3, calcium, and antioxidants. They’re also a great source of fiber and because they absorb 10 times their weight in water they help make you feel fuller – aiding in weight loss diets.

Make this pudding the night before for a deliciously healthy breakfast the next day. You can also serve as a dessert. The chia seeds swell and plumpen to a consistency similar to tapioca. Makes 1 serving.

Ingredients
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
1/4 cup organic chia seeds
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey)

Instructions
1. In a large bowl, crush the blueberries with a fork. Add all other ingredients and stir until combined well.

Spicy Oven-Roasted Chicken

This spicy chicken recipe makes a splendid week night meal. Roast the chicken breast side down for the first 30 minutes so that the juices flow to the breast resulting in deliciously moist meat.

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 pound) whole roaster chicken
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • Fresh Rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Rinse chicken thoroughly inside and out under cold running water and remove all fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Place chicken in a baking dish. Brush or rub entire chicken with oil. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, paprika and cayenne pepper. Rub mixture over entire chicken including under the skin. Place onion, lemon and few rosemary sprigs in the cavity.
  4. Roast the chicken breast side down for 30 minutes. Turn it over by inserting sturdy tongs into the cavity and flipping it. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh reads 165° to 170°F, an additional 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
