"Chia seeds can be mixed into yogurt, oatmeal, muffin batters and other baked goods. It can be sprinkled on cereal, cut fruit and salads. In Mexico there is a wonderful agua fresca that uses chia seeds. They do tend to get rather gelatinous when they soak in liquid, but not necessarily in an unpleasant way. Any way that you would use poppy, sesame, or flax seeds you can sub in chia seeds." – DiningDiva

"I love salads of all sorts, but lately have been on a grain/seed salad kick. Quinoa/bulgur/couscous tossed [with] a vinaigrette and roasted veggies or grape tomatoes, [cucumbers], avocado, chopped spinach, red onion/shallots, currants, feta, and pumpkin/pine nuts. Yum ... throw in diced egg or roasted chicken and I'm a happy girl." – lynnlato

"I can't count the number of times I've said to myself 'I don't need a timer, there's no way I can lose track of something in five minutes.' Then I start futzing around and suddenly 15 minutes have gone by. My mom sets a timer for absolutely everything, including periodic stirring, and I'm starting to think maybe I need to do the same." – ErnieD
