Black Beans and Rice – This is one of my favorite dishes because I think it's easy to make and makes good use of the leftovers. If you want to cut the carbs, skip the beans and get a can of cooked white beans instead.

Sugar-Free Frosting, 3.2 oz. (100g) or 1.4 oz (30 grams) – The first ingredient in this frosting is a mix of egg yolks and sugar. The remaining ingredients are water, cornstarch and vanilla. The butter, sugar and flour are the main ingredients in the frosting.

I used the 1.4 oz (30 grams) in my frosting recipe – the recipe calls for 1.3 oz (50 grams) of sugar. This frosting has a light consistency (not too runny) because of the sugar.
Makes: 24 cups of frosting. (I used 24 tablespoons of batter)
*I used 1.4 oz (30 grams) for mine. You can go as low as 1.2 oz (27 grams).
