I have been hearing good things about chia seeds (that's right, think chia pet), so I finally picked some up at the health food store this week. I'm so glad I found this recipe to add to my list so I can try out the little black seeds!


Deb first told me about these over the weekend. They sounded exceptional - the perfect pre-run treat, cheat, or snack. I couldn't wait to see a picture and hear how they turned out. Sounds like they were a hit, so now they too are on my list to try! Thanks Deb!
