chia muffins 1

So in case you were wondering what I did with my leftover quinoa, yep obviously I made muffins.  I just love these because they are the perfect dose of protein needed to kick start your day, they taste delicious and they are oh so easy to make!  I threw in some chia seeds because they only helped to enhance the flavor and make you feel more energized – which is something I really needed today.  This week is draggggging….but I’m excited that I finally chose my paint colors (holy transition right there) so looking forward to yet another busy weekend full of house assembling and decorating.  It’s definitely coming along though, just wish I could snap my fingers and make it all happen instantly.

Or win the lottery.
I welcome either option.
