Super Bowl Sunday may be behind us, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy our share of the delectable buffalo wing flavor. Ever since the inception of Buffalo wings in 1964, the wing craze has spawned a sort of fandom. These spicy appetizers have inspired similarly-flavored products like buffalo flavored chips, popcorn, rolled tacos, and the list goes on. But if you're looking for a less casual variation of the traditional buffalo wing, why not try this spicy Buffalo-style stuffed chicken breast? It has the same great flavor with half the mess.

Join your fellow community members on March 12 to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Children's Museum at Saratoga. Dedicated to inspiring curiosity and sparking imagination in children, the museum is an indispensable part of Saratoga Springs and the neighboring communities. To support their programs and daily operations, the Children's Museum organizes a fundraiser on their anniversary.
 
Since 1990, the Children's Museum at Saratoga has dedicated itself to providing local communities and beyond with programs and exhibits for children that foster creativity, curiosity, and discovery. Founded by a group of community parents and educators, the non-profit museum has relied on the donations from local community members to add new exhibits and renovations. In fact, their annual birthday bash is their primary fundraising event.
 
Every year, the museum's birthday bash is inspired by a favorite children's book and this year is no different. Support your local museum as they organize a bash inspired by The Tale of Peter Rabbit, a children's book about a mischievous rabbit. Are you interested in attending? Here's what you can expect at the fundraising event.
 

If you're a passionate home cook, having an extensive array of spices on hand is a must.

Even though you may think that these luxury features add value to your home, think again. These amenities may seem like they'll fulfill your wildest fantasies but in reality, they don't quite deliver enough impact for the price tag. Read on to find out which amenities you could do without.
 
High-end Stove: Unless you have aspirations of becoming the next Gordon Ramsay, you don't need a gourmet kitchen stocked with the latest and greatest chef equipment, especially a high-end stove. Top-of-the-line stoves can go for as high as $20,000. These professional-grade models are designed for heavy usage, far beyond the needs of the average household. Industrial stoves often include additional ranges and multiple ovens, which take up space and add to your electric bill.
 
Pot Filler: The only reason to ever buy a pot filler is to eliminate the need to carry a large pot of water from the kitchen sink to the stove. And even then, when it comes time to dump the water, you're going to have to lug the pot to the sink. A pot filler's swiveling faucet is conveniently placed right next to the stove so you don't break your back carrying your pot across your kitchen, but is it worth it? Probably not.

Who would've thought that a pinch of minuscule black seeds would be so rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants? Chia seeds are a superfood that help prevent cell damage, ease digestion, and fill you up.

That's a great way to start any morning. Chia is a versatile ingredient that you can add to anything from smoothies to puddings and pancakes.
 
Here are three effortless ways to get your chia on.
