This blueberry refrigerator jam uses chia seeds to get it to set. Chia seeds, when blended will thicken recipes.

I have been getting into chia seeds. One reason for my infatuation is that I found them at Aldi for $3. They are incredible nutritious – high in manganese, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, etc.

Healthy BBQ sides are not hard to make because of all the great summer produce.

All we need is a little push to get away from the potato salads, coleslaws, and pasta salads that are delicious but heavy. Most barbecues are featuring seasonal favorites such as hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs.

This Greek salad dressing recipe is what you need for salads and marinades. I promise that you will never buy a bottle of dressing again.

Bottled Greek or Italian dressing rarely uses extra-virgin olive oil because it is expensive. You will see soy bean oil on the label. Also, because it is in a bottle – it is fine – but it isn’t fresh.
