Carolyn "Vii"
I will let you know how I like the recipes...I already told my boys about dinner on Saturday night and they asked me to double the recipes.....lol
Here's what we had:
Black Bean Soup
* 2 cans seasone black beans
* 1 cup salsa
* 2 tbs taco or chilli seasoning
* 1 clove garlic
* 1/4 onion
* salt to taste
Combine ingredients and simmer on low for 15-20 mins. Let cool/thicken for 5 mins.
** Add cheese, sour cream, cilantro if desired
Chicken Fajitas
* 2 tbs olive oil
* 2 crush/chopped garlic cloves (fresh is best)
* 1/4 diced onion
* 1/2 sliced bell pepper
* 1 lb chopped chicken tenders (no, not the breaded kind silly)
* 1 lb deveined shrimp
* 1 cup water
* 2 packages fajita seasoning
* totrillas (if you can have them)
Heat pan on medium/high and add olive oil (adding olive oil AFTER heating prevents the oil from losing it's flavor). Add garlic and onion and sautee until lightly brown on edges. Mix in bell pepper and continue to sautee for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add chicken and shrimp and mix until chicken is no longer transparent. Pour in water and fajita seasoning and stir well. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 mins. Remove from heat and let sauce thicken.
** Add cheese, sour cream, tomato (slices are best because they stay put) if desired
Now you are ready to eat! Try dipping your fajita in the soup or, if you can't have tortillas yet, top off the soup with chicken/shrimp.
The kids were quiet during dinner so I know they liked it. Let me know what you think.

Low Carb Chocolate Rum Balls
Ingredients:
· 1 cup almond flour
· 1 scoop unflavoured protein powder
· 1/2 cup cocoa powder
· 2 Tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
· 1/2 Splenda brown sugar blend
· 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
· 2 Tablespoons rum, brandy, whiskey, etc . (I used artificial flavouring)
Preparation:
1. Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl.
2. Add vanilla and liquor/flavouring (liquid should be 2 ½ to 3 tablespoons, so it mixes and comes together so if you are using flavouring add water to make up the difference.
3. Add Splenda to liquids.
4. Add the liquid slowly to dry ingredients and mix until it all comes together.
3. Roll into balls.
**Because I found them to be a bit sticky, I dipped the rum balls in no sugar added dark chocolate melted and mixed with ho****er to make it a smooth and a bit thinner to dip the balls into.
