Vegan Brunch!!

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.

Yummy Vegan Lunch

Oh my! I have a new favorite ingredient!! Sesame oil!! It's a bit more pricey than other oils, but luckily you only need a little for each meal. I had some rice left over from last night and made a sautéed veggie mess to go along with it for lunch...I sautéed all these ingredients (n this order) after chopping.  1/2 yellow onion, 1/2 head of garlic, 4 kale leaves, 2 bok choy bunches, 1 tomato, salt to taste, 1.5 tbsp. sesame oil.
