Easy recipes to add Chia seeds into your diet
- Chia Gel: Place ¼ cup seeds in 1 cup liquid, stir well, and cover. Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes until the texture changes to a soft gelatin. Store in refrigerator for up to one week. Add to smoothies and soups to boost nutrient value and create a thicker, more satisfying consistency.
- Chia Pudding: To make a dessert variation, mix ¼ cup of seeds with one cup of liquid such as milk (almond, soy, or dairy all work) or 100% fruit juice. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes refrigerated. Add nuts, chopped fresh fruit, or cinnamon if desired.
- Chia Sprouts: Place chia seeds in a single layer (use only about a teaspoon to allow enough space to grow) in a terracotta saucer or un-glazed clay dish. Spray the seeds with water several times and cover with plastic wrap or a clear glass dish. Put in a sunny spot. Spray morning and evening until green sprouts appear, about 3-7 days. Use these micro-greens to garnish salads and sandwiches.
- Egg Replacement: This may be used to replace whole eggs in baking. For 1 whole egg, mix 1 tablespoon of whole chia seeds or 2 teaspoons ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a raw scrambled egg.

Please give me a recipe for pumpkin pie
So I found some canned pumpkin puree in Sainsbury 's today and I would love to make a pie with it. I made one a couple years ago but I can't remember everything I put in it. I used fresh pumpkin back then that I boiled with spices but I did not end up liking the result. Could you please give me your favourite recipe for pumpkin pie and any tips and tricks how to get it perfect? Thank you.

How do I scale up my production of homemade "jelly drops"?
I'm trying to make these for my grandmother who is seemingly constantly dehydrated. My plan is to use a vegetarian gelatin substitute like agar powder as well as an unflavored electrolyte powder, monk fruit for flavor, and food color. The only problem is that I can't afford to make enough of these for her to hydrate as much as she should. What would you guys recommend I do to decrease costs?

Implements needed for pot roast?
Sorry if this is a dumb question or I posted in the wrong place. Recipes are appreciated, but I 'd also like to know more about implements, or specifically recipes that do not require the implements I do not own. Or, if these implements are required, I want to know which ones to buy.
I grew up with a single, vegetarian dad, so I never learned to cook. I've mastered simple recipes & vegetables, but meat has always seemed complicated to me. I've learned simple meat dishes & want to try others. Pot roast with potatoes is one of my favorite dishes. When I search recipes it usually says I need a dutch oven or slow cooker. I am wondering if it is possible to make a good roast in a regular over on a baking sheet, shallow dish or something? Or do I need to buy a dutch oven, slow cooker, or something else? Thanks!

Overnight Oats instructions and recipe
Ingredients
Oats: Most recipes are made with old-fashioned rolled oats and sometimes quick oats.*gluten-free options are also available if needed.
- Chia Seeds: Chia seeds give overnight oats the pudding-like texture and add extra health benefits to the mix, but feel free to leave them out if you are not a big fan.
- Add in butter, or nut butter to add that extra creaminess. common are Almond butter, Cashew butter, Pumpkin butter, sunflower seed butter or peanut butter add that savory-nutty flavor and a certain creaminess.
- For the liquid to bind them all together, use your favorite milk. For a dairy-free version of overnight oats, we use almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk.
- Fruit: This is where the magic happens, pick the added flavor from your fruit of choice, try going for fruits that will not get soggy overnight, good options we enjoy are Apples, Oranges, Berries (especially strawberries, goji berries, and cranberries), Kiwi, Pineapple, Banana, and shredded coconuts.
- For a Sweetener, you can decide also to leave out, depending on how sweet you want the dish to be, for our sweetener of choice you have honey, maple syrup, banana, dates, stevia, or erythritol will work.
- To top it all off, just sprinkle your spices on top of it all, we love using Cinnamon, cocoa powder, or pumpkin pie spice.
Directions
- combine all chosen ingredients as specified into an 8oz. mason jar, or resealable container
- place in the fridge overnight
Hot or Cold? why not both?
heat it in the microwave for a hot breakfast
enjoy your overnight oats cold straight from the fridge

Melted cheese alternative
Any suggestion to mimicking melted cheese on top of a pizza? I mean it solidifies when cold and melts when heated, the stringiness would be the cherry.
Probably something like milk, butter and a thickener (corn flour). It sounds like béchamel sauce but i think it takes longer time to transition from melted to solid than cheese, adding more butter would make it greasy. Any fixes?
Thank you.

Healthy tasty freezable soup recipes.
So my FIL has cancer in his stomach, he can’t eat much but what he does eat needs to be soft or liquid. I want to make him some tasty but nutritious soup. He is eating bits at the moment but what he does eat isn’t very nutritious. So I’m thinking soup would be a good idea. I’ve got a good Stilton and broccoli recipe, and butternut squash recipe. So I’ll have a go at any other soup recipe you can give me!

Healthy freezable meals?
I'm looking for ideas for freezable meals I can make in bulk on a weekend and freeze to take to work. Ideally they must be lean and high protein.
I'm getting bored of the same old "safe options" ie chilli con carne or some form of pasta. I'm open to any ideas so surprise me. I mainly eat meat based meals however I'm also open to suggestions that are plant based.
I've not really got any limitations other than tasty (obviously), freezable, microwavable, relatively affordable and easy to prepare in bulk.
I look forward to seeing some of your recipes.

I realise I can easily make a chilli mix or a soup with them, but I'm wondering if people might have other ideas for what to do. I'm happy to try both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
