Coconut Milk Chia Pudding

Life around the Melton house is changing fast. First, Savannah graduated Georgia Southern last week with her master’s degree. We will be moving her to Atlanta this week to start a job on June 3rd. I will miss her like crazy but I know she will do great things.

Then on June 1st Greg and I will gain a daughter. Wes and Ashley have dated for almost six years, and we love her so. The wedding will take place here, in our yard. As long as the weather cooperates, I think it’s going to be lovely.

I’m not sure if others are like me, but I seem to lose my zeal for cooking on hot days. Especially hot days that I have spent outside working. Greg and I have spent countless hours in the yard trying to prepare for the wedding, and my kitchen is getting very little use these days.

I have discovered a great treat though. Coconut Milk Chia Pudding is super easy and topped with fresh berries; it’s a great spring/summer treat. Chia seeds are from the mint family. The seeds do not taste minty, but when soaked in liquid they become gel-like. They are high in omega-3 fatty acids, have high levels of antioxidants, fiber, and minerals.
