CHERRY CHIA GREEK YOGURT BOWLS Inspired by HungryHobby.net
Ingredients
Out-of-town relatives who are visiting for the holidays might wonder what makes Emmett so special. But we already know the Treasure Valley is full of gems — and we don’t just mean the rocks. Here are some additional reasons Emmett and The Gem State are great. WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE On average, we have 210 sunny days per year. Compare that to 144 rainy days in Portland and we can feel pretty happy about all our free vitamin D. Directions Chia Seed Jam • 2 cups Chelan fresh sweet cherries, pitted • 3 tbsp chia seeds • 2 tbsp honey • 1/4 cup water
MOUNTAIN RANGES Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, we don’t have to go far to find mountaintop winter activities. If skiing or tubing is your idea of winter fun, Bogus Basin is just a short drive away, and heading to McCall makes a fun weekend getaway. ... AND RIVERS Not only are we surrounded by the Payette and Boise rivers, Idaho is also home to the deepest gorge in North America: Hells Canyon. Take that, Arizona! Greek Yogurt Bowl • 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tsp hemp seeds • 1 tbsp granola
GOOD CHEER Beer lovers, rejoice! Idaho is the world’s largest hop producer, and more and more people are taking advantage of our agricultural bounty by opening breweries in the Treasure Valley. Share a few of these treasures with visiting family members and their only question will be “How did we not come here sooner?”
Chia Seed Jam We suggest making the chia seed jam in advance and storing it in the refrigerator so you can quickly assemble these yogurt bowls all week. 1. Using a potato masher, mash down the cherries. Place a small pot on high heat and add the cherries, chia seeds, honey, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Allow jam to cool before using or refrigerate. Greek Yogurt Bowls 2. In a small serving bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract. Top the Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp cherry chia seed jam, hemp seeds, granola, and a few additional Chelan fresh sweet cherries, if desired.

Facts Tooth Fun
DID YOU KNOW?
Candy, ice cream, and cake — oh my! Sugar is so good that it’s addicting for many people. However, when we consume something sweet, the sugar in sodas and candy reacts with the bacteria that are present in our mouths. When this reaction happens, an acid is formed that can cause decay and cavities to form. To keep your teeth healthy and happy, rinse your mouth with water after eating a sugary snack or drinking soda or juice to remove any byproducts of this reaction and be sure to brush your teeth the recommended two times a day for two minutes each time! Sugar Can Wreak Havoc On Your Smile
Inside A Shark’s Mouth
Did you know that sharks lose a tooth a week (give or take) — and it’s not because they don’t visit the dentist! Losing teeth is natural for sharks and these ocean predators, unlike humans, are born with teeth, but they aren’t attached to their gums by a tooth root. If you were to poke your head inside of a shark’s mouth, you’d see teeth lined up like a conveyor belt and it runs like one too. The smaller teeth in the back of the shark’s mouth eventually move up to the front and replace the larger ones that fall out.
Sharks have anywhere between 5 and 15 rows of chompers!
