Four Ingredient Frito Lay Soup
Believe it or not, all of this came from the dollar store! I was kinda broke, and starving so I threw a few things together and it was yummers! Also, I realized I didn't leave you guys with a "Food for Thought" scripture last week, so I'll be sure to do so this time, I promise ;)What you'll need:
1 (15 oz) can of Pinto beans (Bush's brand is the Bee's Knee's)
1 (15 oz) can of Black bean
1 (15 oz) can of Sweet corn
1 (15 oz) can of Diced tomatoes ( Hunts has a fire roasted kind with is delish)
and 1 small bag of frito lays
What to do:
Take 3 Tablespoons of each ingredient and stir them in a small pot on Medium heat. Let the flavors of each cook together for about 5 minutes before adding your favorite seasonings. I added 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of chilli powder, 1/2 tsp of salt/pepper mix, and I added about 1/2 a cup of water to dial down the salt. Let this cook for for about a total of 15-20 minutes to let all of the flavors come together. Keep in mind that this recipe is for a single, party of one!
Here's a little food for thought:
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you." 2 Cor. 13:14

Raw Tropical Sorbet and a Blog Feature!! Oh My!
Raw Tropical Soft Serve “Ice Cream” Sorbet!
Today’s blog features one of my favorite vegheads! She’s
inspired me to live a vegetable, fruit friendly lifestyle since we crossed
paths in college and I’ve recently decided to follow in her footsteps by
becoming a vegetarian. Crystal (featured to the right, in this Alice in Wonderland, Nicki Minaj doll photo) has decided to go raw this year which is
inspiring, buuuuttt I dare not step into that territory yet! I’m very proud and
privileged to feature the cutest, sweetest, veghead I know. Please look forward
to more recipes from Crystal in the future! Follow her on Instagram @socksnevermatch
for Raw/Vegan/Vegetarian inspirations.
What you need: (What I used)
3 frozen
strawberries
3 chunks of
frozen peaches
4
blueberries
1 chunk of
pineapple
Mix all in a
food processor until completely smooth. I topped mine with 2 blueberries, 2
walnuts and a heart shaped pineapple chunk. Below is Crystals version that
inspired me! She even Mad a drizzle! Sexy!
Raw
Strawberry Soft Serve “Ice Cream” with Strawberry Drizzle

What you
need: ( What Crystal used)
1 frozen
strawberry
1 fresh
strawberry
1 frozen
banana
She made a
strawberry drizzle to top off her Soft Serve (fancy pants):
Drizzle:
4 frozen
strawberries
1 teaspoon
of raw honey
A squeeze of
lemon/lime
Thaw the
strawberries, add honey and lemon juice and mash all with a fork and pour over
ice cream.
Feel free to
make any flavor ice cream by adding other frozen fruit to the frozen banana. I
chose not to use banana because they are my least favorite creation, next to
spiders, but that’s neither here nor there. A few suggestions for frozen fruit
options: Mangos, papaya, or raspberries!
Crystals
recipe totaled to 1 banana, 6 strawberries, and a teaspoon of honey. Which is
about 130 calories for a bowl of ice cream! This a total guilt free way to
fight those sweet tooth cravings, which I have about once every thirty seconds!
Enjoy! Have fun! And be creative!
