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:

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!
