Nuts.com

I have discovered Nuts.com and I am now IN LOVE. All I did was type "Chia Seeds" into Google and Nuts.com came up as a trusted Google site. So, I did some shopping around and loved the products and prices that they have. PLUS, they have recipes on how to use what you buy! I placed my order on Tuesday and got it today.

Not only is the packaging adorable but I got a free little treat! Some natural, lightly salted cashews. I like little free gifts! I cannot wait to try those. I may try and work them into my menu tomorrow. The orange package has salt water taffy in it. I couldn't resist. It is 4P+ per serving so I thought it would be a nice little treat sometimes and it would take me awhile to eat since taffy is so chewy!
My main purchase was the organic chia seeds and I am currently waiting for them to turn into the "gel" like substance and I will drink them. I really want to try them like this with some fresh lime juice. Chia Seeds are so amazingly good for you.
Here is the verbage from nuts.com: "Chia seeds do not have to be ground for your body to absorb their nutrients. 2 Tablespoons of chia seeds daily will give you approximately 7 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, 205 milligrams of calcium and a whopping 5 grams of omega-3's." 
Crazy huh? It is 2P+ for 2 Tablespoons and I mostly plan on using them in oatmeal or smoothies. They are pretty much tasteless to me. At least the little pinch I tried didn't have much flavor. I'm excited to see how they affect the way I feel and my energy levels. I hear they do wonders for appetite suppressants and energy. I will keep you posted on that. I'm only having 1 Tablespoon right now in some water. (wish I had a fresh lime with me...)

My menu for today is as follows:
B: Toast(4), Almond Butter(3), FF milk(2), Banana(0), Coffee(0)
S: Pop Chips(3), Chia Seeds(1)
L: Brown Rice(5), Black Beans(2), Chicken Sausage(3), WW Brownie Bliss(2)
S: Chobani Flip(5) or Cheese Sticks(3)
D: TBD

Last night I ended up not cooking the salmon and had a brown rice bowl instead. Tonight I want to cook the salmon with the sweet potato and spinach.
I did not exercise last night either. I got an awful headache around 7:00 and it would not go away. I just vacuumed, cleaned up the kitchen, got some documentation together for my husband for a meeting he has and then laid down in bed. I hate headaches.

Fun Dog Picture of the Day:

Caesar LOVES using Andrew's head as a pillow. It is the cutest and funniest thing ever. Whenever Andrew gets up Caesar looks so disappointed. Andrew swears Caesar likes me better than him but I think the love in the family is mutual. He loves me more us both.
