Lettuce Wraps

Thank you to everyone who took my survey on facebook!  I’m glad to know what my FABULOUS readers are looking for!!    I am so excited to plaster this place with recipes!!!

Here is one for you that is super versatile and way to easy!

Lettuce Wraps

4x pieces of lettuce per person (or more if hungry)

1 tsp sesame oil

Chicken, Tofu or whatever you would like to use  - I used 1 chicken breast

Veggies of choice – I used mushrooms, zucchini, bean sprouts and red peppers

Soy Sauce + Sweet Chilli Sauce

_________________________________________

Sauté chicken or tofu in sesame oil

Once cooked, add in veggies (minus bean sprouts)

Cook up until at desired crunchiness level (I don’t like over cooked veggies)

Add about 1/2 tsp soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce to taste!

Wash and dry lettuce leaves

Stuff lettuce leaves with mixture and top with bean sprouts!

Now to eat (the tricky part) fold the stem of the lettuce leaf over the mixture, and tuck in the rest of it, so it covers all the mixture… then CRUNCH AWAY!  

Have a napkin handy though, this baby is drippy!

Awesome for lunch, just pack the lettuce separately!

Well I’m off to finish off a bunch of projects – 2 weeks left, SO hard to believe!  It’s getting SO hard to spend the day inside writing, reading and studying as the SUN IS SHINING, and it’s warm!

So off I go with my fresh JUICE!

(1/2 beet, 1 cucumber, 1/4ish cup green cabbage, 1/2 red pepper, 1 lime, 1 carrot, 1 apple + 2 mini oranges) –

Yup, sounds weird, but actually it’s a bit flavourless…  how weird is that?

 

Have a GREAT weekend!! 

Do you have anything fun planned?

Lettuce Wraps and Hot Chocolate!

 

Morning guys!!  Hope your weekend was fantastic!

I didn’t get up to too much this weekend, but I did make 2 yummy recipes I thought you might ENJOY!

First off it’s rainy and windy here, I decided to stay home all day in my PJs,  do some reading, and studying… I also decided hot chocolate was just the remedy to such a day. 

Now since I hadn’t had my green smoothie yet, I decided to make my hot chocolate with amazing grass and these other culprits

I blended it all together in my magic bullet and popped it into the microwave.  It was to die for and full of tons of goodness!

Bad news though – it’s official, amazing meal DOES NOT like my stomach – or the other way around. 
Oh well… it tasted amazing!  Guess I’ll have to try something else next time!

Then I got creative for dinner. 
I have been craving lettuce wraps since we were in Victoria
So I decided to make them – with a few healthy twists of course!

I cooked up some tofu, veggies, cilantro, hosin sauce and chinese 5 spice!

Rather than using tradition iceberg lettuce which has virtually no nutritional value – I opted for Radicchio!

I filled it with the tofu mixture

and added some hummus!  This was my first time buying this kind and it’s fantastic!

And I served the lettuce wraps with roasted sweet potatoe, which I popped in the oven with some cinnamon, salt and curry powder.

All together now!

I ended up adding the sweet potatoes into the wrap, as they were missing something!!

I think next time I will use ground turkey, as I wasn’t a huge fan of the tofu!!  But other than that it was good!!

All that mixed with this…

and this

 

Made for a pretty OK Sunday!
