-sprinkle them on cereal, oatmeal, salad or soup
-add them to any muffin, cookie, or cake recipe
-add them to pancake batter before you cook the cakes
Those are just a few because you can literally add them to just about any food because their flavour is very mild and will not interfere with the flavour of the food you add them to.

I love chia seeds! I use them in my recipes without making a gel first, though I do allow them to soak up liquids before cooking. You can find my recipes here: http://dardreams.spaces.live.com/.
These little seeds are very versatile (and low carb!) and I love the different textures you can get using them whole or milled/ground. (I don't use the chia flour because it contains ingredients that raise my BGLs.)
I like the idea of using chia seeds to replace eggs in recipes. The Chia Seed is a dieter's dream come true. The tiny, healthy seeds can be made to taste like whatever you want, and their unique gelling action keeps you feeling full for hours. Being a vegetarian I take Deva nutrition Vegan Chia Seed Oil Supplement to get a non-fish, vegan source of essential omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9. Usually buy it from http://www.healthsuperstore.com.
