Welcome to My Kitchen!

I only share recipes that pass the stringent family taste test.

If you've never made a self-saucing pudding, prepare to be amazed. You pour hot water over the batter, and somehow, the cake rises to the top while a rich, buttery caramel sauce forms underneath! This vintage recipe is pure, cozy perfection.

Chia Pudding 

Chia seeds contain an abundance of fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants!

1 C milk ( dairy or plant-based)
1 T pure maple syrup
3 T chia seeds

Stir together in a glass container. Stir periodically until it starts to set. Give it one more good stir, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight. 

I like to layer it with pureed or mashed fruit and top it with granola.
