Wine Tasting

Hello All!
I'm so sorry I haven't been posting anything lately. 
I've been a little preoccupied with visitors.

But, thanks to those visitors I have also been out doing and seeing things to post about! 
Yay! 
So, be prepared for a number of post coming all at once. 

A couple weeks ago my wonderful, beautiful, amazing Mother was in town and we went wine tasting for Mother's Day. 
We drove out to Woodinville, had a nice lunch, and visited some wineries.




We also, of course, had to visit Redhook Brewery. Wine is wonderful and all, but both my mom and I like us some good beer. I say us giving my mom some credit because recently she has branched out into the world of GOOD beer. She still drinks some terrible ones, but she's slowly working her way out of the darkness and into the amazing world of good beer. 
(love you mom!)

The Redhook tour was only $1. Yes, I wrote ONE DOLLAR. AMAZING. It was also so much fun! The tour guide was great. He was exciting and funny. After every couple facts, you get a tasting (a good size tasting) and by the time you finish you've had at least an entire pint. I had a little more because my mother is just now branching out into the good beer world and hasn't aquired the taste for all of them (mostly IPAs and darker ales). 

Over all the day was so much fun! I have missed my Mom so much since I moved. We are very close and I was so glad she came for a weekend.
I can't wait to see her this next weekend again in Denver!


Here are some of the wines my Mom and I tasted, as well as some new ones that I have liked.







 You're Welcome!
Hope you like these as well, and I'm making your wine choices a little easier.

Chia Pudding

I don't know about you, but it feels like I've been hearing about Chia seeds constantly lately!
It kept reminding me of the Cha Cha Chia plants from the nineties.
But, eventually I started noticing all the benefits that were being talked about.

The more I often I saw things about them, the more I wanted to try them.
I finally caved and bought some this past weekend, hoping that I would like them.
 (they are by no means cheap)
I had seen a recipe on Pinterest, and the back of the bag for Chia pudding. Combining these and my own preferences I came up with this version.

Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
1 Cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon (or so, to taste) Cinnamon

Directions: 
Mix together all ingredients and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours.

So easy, right!

The longer you let it sit the thicker it becomes.

OK, OK, I know it doesn't look like the most appetizing thing in the world but it is!
It turned out absolutely delicious, If I do say so myself!
It's also good for you!
