Sweet Potato Fries + Chili

First and foremost, I need to tell you about the fabulous dinner I had with Andy, his parents and grandparents. We had a great time. I love my new family!



We went to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. I ordered Paneed Chicken and Grits.



Large portions ahead. Beware. And fear not, I only ate half!



The chicken was topped with ham and cheese sort of like a creole version of chicken cordon bleu.



Andy ordered catfish. He said the breading wasn't his favorite but the side dish of potato salad was fabulous. And I HATE potato salad!



For dessert I had a slice of caramel apple cheesecake.



Andy got the bread pudding. I failed to try a bite. GRR



This morning, I was feeling a little queasy and dying for a run. I had a smallish breakfast of one huge honeycrisp apple and a little bit of magic on the side!



Emily, this peanut butter is 10 times better than I expected!!!



After breakfast, I ran 2.13 miles in 25 minutes. For me this is a small miracle. I felt great afterwards.



Lunch was leftovers. They were great! I'm glad I had a light breakfast!



For dinner tonight I made a small salad with pathetic ingredients. All for the $100 november challenge though right? I threw some tomatoes, feta cheese and salsa ranch on some romaine lettuce and called it a salad.





I cheated with the chili. I grabbed a can of Hormel Turkey Chili and threw in the rest of the tomato, some sliced shallots and green onion.



Then I heated up some sweet potato fries. For the fries, I simply spray some olive oil and add some cajun seasonings.



Added some lite cheddar cheese and sour cream and called it Chili Cheese fries. Note this is a salad plate. I wish it was a bigger plate. These were FREAKING DELICIOUS! Andy and I didn't even talk during dinner because we were so busy eating.

I am excited for the Foodbuzz festival on Friday!!! AAAAAWWWWW!!!
