I had a very filling brunch today. My kids often want me to make some home fries for them. I had some extra potatoes left over so I decided to cut up and sauté some tomatoes and onions and add in the potatoes. I am trying to stay off bread, so to replace the need for bread, instead, I thinly sliced some yams and cooked those in the pan with a little bit of oil and low heat. I was so delicious and filling.


My bread alternative.....

I also realized I had all the ingredients, (not fennel) to make chai...so I made a double recipe, 6 cups all together.

Instead of milk I added almond milk and it's almost ready to strain and serve....I can't wait.

There are hundreds of recipes online but this is the one I used. The recipe comes from: http://www.herbco.com/s-1778-chai-something-nice-chai-a-basic-recipe.aspx

I have a 3 mile run scheduled today for my marathon training.....I think I will convince my daughter to bike alongside me or go to the track. Either way I need to wait for my brunch to digest before I head out for a run. Going to the library to take out some books on essential oils.
