Healthy Lettuce Wraps

It’s not easy to find healthy things to eat in a hurry. When you get home from work, you’re beat, and you just want whatever’s easiest. This is a filling yet light dish that’s simple and quick so you can make it in advance and then throw it together when you need it. Just the perfect combination to feed those hungry mouths at home.

All the credit for this one goes to the other chef in our house, SuperHubs. One of his most favorite foods is Asian, so anything in that arena is a winner for him. He’s also masterful with a wok and flipping veggies. Talents!
