I really wanted to make a good refried bean because I love them in burritos and in dips and the store bought ones are just scary. I sort of blended these two recipes but I really need to experiment more before I nail down a recipe. I can't decide if I like cumin or chili powder in them, if they need salt or sugar, and whether bacon grease or butter is better. I'll check back, but I wanted to save the two recipes I used.

Chia Seed Pudding
I probably would have never tried chia seeds, but they were on sale at Costco and I was buying things to make homemade granola bars and I thought they would be a healthy addition to them (and they were.) I also thought there might be other ways to use them and I heard about this "pudding." The kids didn't like it, but I really like it as a light breakfast.
I made several changes that I'm noting here for me to remember later. I used plain unsweetened almond milk, regular whole milk non-Greek yogurt and I didn't add any more maple syrup other than the initial amount called for. (I didn't add any the next day.) I mixed in frozen blueberries the next morning and had my whole almonds on the side. One recipe was enough for me to eat on for three breakfasts.
This is definitely a keeper!

Slow Cooker Fudge
It really is fudge, and it really does cook in the slow cooker. It also takes all day, so be ready. But it was worth it.

Tupelo Honey Cafe Biscuits
Hubs went out of town to play a show and ate breakfast at a place that had wonderful biscuits. He even sent me a picture of said biscuits. I immediately Googled a copy cat recipe so that I could make him some at home.
That was like months ago. So much for my wife of the year award. Tonight I decided to actually make them to go with our vegetable soup. They were really, really good.
He said the ones in the restaurant had coarse salt and pepper sprinkled on top, along with a slathering of melted butter.
Yeah, they were really good. I won't wait months to make them next time...
