Raspberry Chia Seed Jam

I am not much of a jelly or jam person. Lily is. She loves the stuff. Two big spoonfuls on her toast every morning.

I think it’s too sweet. It really doesn’t taste much like the fruit that it’s supposed to be made of.

After a sale on raspberries at Kroger, I decided that we’d give this recipe a whirl. If it didn’t work, I was only out a couple of bucks for the berries. If it was a success, we could have tasty new jams and jellies whenever we want.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. berries
3 T. honey
2 T. chia seeds
1 t. lemon juice Continue reading →

Throwback Thursday: Kindergarten

It’s hard to believe that this time last year, Lily was in kindergarten. She was learning to write her letters and numbers.

For kindergarten, I saved almost every worksheet, coloring page, and craft project. Her backpack from last year is filled with papers that she brought home.

First grade, not so much. I take pictures to show family and friends how well she does on a project or test

What a difference a year makes!
