I am obsessed with condiments.

Vinegar, Barbeque Sauce, Mayo, Mustard, Salsa, Chutney, Hot Sauce, Duck Sauce, Pickled Ginger, Pesto...you name it and I will use copious amounts.

Store-bought condiments are kind of pricey, though.

And they're filled with preservatives to promote a longer shelf-life.

One of my favorites I love, LOVE is Honey Mustard!

But it's sort of bad for you.

Through a few messy attempts, I developed my own version of Healthy Honey Mustard that is delicious and packed with Protein AND Fiber.

You can also modify it to keep vegan if you prefer.

The recipe calls for:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (Vegan: Soy or Coconut-based)
  • 2 T yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 T honey
  • 1 T lemon juice

(Whisk in a bowl and enjoy)

I adapted this recipe to include:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (Vegans can substitute soy or coconut yogurt.)
  • 2 T yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 T honey (Agave also works really well if you want to keep vegan.)
  • 2 T Apple Cider Vinegar (I have tried with lemon juice and with vinegar. I preferred the vinegar version.)
  • 2 T Ground Chia Seeds

Behold, the secret ingredient:

The Chia Seeds are important because they contribute a gelatinous quality to the honey mustard. Without them, the recipe can be a little runny.

I like my Honey Mustard to be on the thick side, so adding the Chia Seeds perfected the consistency.

Bonus: Chia Seeds are great for you. They add fiber and protein to the recipe. The yogurt contributes to the protein count as well!

This recipe is even better after it has been refrigerated overnight.

Really, this recipe is delicious and so good for you.

Why not give it a try as a salad dressing?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
