Have you all discovered the chia seed? It's my absolute new favorite thing to cook with/bake with/top everything with. The little seeds are minuscule (like the size of ground pepper practically) but they pack some major health benefits and a dose of protein. My dad bought me this book for the holidays and I instantly flagged the recipe for chia seed yogurt. It's incredibly simple and delicious, and it has the best texture. We made a giant portion and then dished some out for breakfast every morning.
