Hello my friends! I know, it’s been a month but here I am with a Daniel Fast Friendly recipe! It’s only the second one I have put down in writing because I usually just throw things together last minute. This time though, I wrote it down and had my husband test the recipe. AAANNNNDDDDD, it works!

So, for those of you that are doing the Daniel Fast this Lenten season, here’s a little something that will fill you up and leave you feeling healthier.

This recipe makes enough to serve about 8 people and then some.

VEGETARIAN CHILI

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

1 cup of dried Santa Fe black bean flakes (to thicken)

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

 

Cooking Instructions
