Why Cats Knead

Did you know that cats knead the same spot or their favorite person in order to mark it as their own. Cats sweat through the pads on their paws and the sweat acts as a way of making the spot smell uniquely theirs to other cats.

So does that mean when my cat Pepper sits on my computer keyboard, she is letting loose some other unique smells on the keys? I don't think I really want to know....

Chia Seeds = Superfood

I have tried a lot of foods that are supposed to be good for you! I like quinoa but boy did it make my stomach hurt! It turns out some of us are not able to digest quinoa easily (of course that has to be me!). I get headaches from dark chocolate and red wine. I try to go gluten free so oats are usually out. Can't eat nuts or shellfish! Boy do I have digestive issues!

But one superfood that I think is fantastic is chia seeds! It tastes great all plumped up (although my kids think that it's slimy so I don't let them know when I slip it in their food), it doesn't irritate your stomach and you can add it to cooked foods and no one will know it's in there. I make a cereal out of warm water and coconut milk for the mornings and it keeps me full and happy until my late lunch. Not only are chia seeds full of omega-3s that can help your hear, but they are also high in calcium and give you almost 20% of your daily allowance according to a recent article in The Oprah Magazine. They also contain high levels of phosphorus and manganese which help with bone development! This is a winner food that doesn't have too many negatives! Yeah chias!!!
