Lettuce wraps are difficult to eat at work. I eat lunch at my desk (I know I shouldn't) because I'm swamped most of the time. Since I eat at my desk instead of in our very nice break room, I typically only bring sandwiches or salads to work. Anything I don't have to reheat works… Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Starbucks has really upped its game when it comes to selling food. I remember when Starbucks only sold coffee. No food, no snacks. Nada. Now, you can almost eat every meal at Starbucks (if you have the dough). I've become a fan of their quinoa salad and spinach-feta-and-egg-white wraps. But a few years ago, it… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
Egg salad is a classic, historical sandwich spread. The first known printed recipe for egg salad came in 1896 inside a Boston School of Cooking book, also known as a Fannie Farmer (the author) book. Egg salad can be served at tea time or other afternoon gatherings. It's the perfect meatless sandwich for a light… Continue reading Egg Salad Spinach Wrap
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Is it just trendy, or is this the new way to make wraps/quesadillas/sandwiches? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the "triangle" method. You've got a large tortilla and you make one slit in it midway. Then, you fill up each quarter with ingredients. Fold it up along the slight until… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
I've been really breaking out of my shell when it comes to vegetarian/vegan meals. This recipe is not something I would have made a few years ago. I like to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into my diet, but this recipe is a little out there. First, you make your own bean spread (almost like a hummus… Continue reading Portobello Wraps with White Bean Spread
Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
I've been craving iceberg lettuce lately. I know, iceberg doesn't have a taste. But there's nothing that has its refreshing crunch. It's the best lettuce to use on burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Hands down. It has very little nutritional value and is just basically water packaged into a lettuce leaf, but it's the most refreshing… Continue reading Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Turkey Wrap
Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I have become obsessed with turkey roasts at the grocery store. They are usually nestled in with the whole turkeys in the poultry section of the store. They're much smaller than a whole turkey (duh) and they are cheaper (not by pound, but cheaper than buying a whole turkey). I had never noticed them before… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Spicy Tuna Wraps
I can't remember the last time I had sushi. It's probably been a year or more, and even longer since I've been inside a sushi restaurant. I used to grab a rainbow roll every so often from the sushi section at my grocery store when I lived in southwestern OKC. It was good, but not… Continue reading Spicy Tuna Wraps
Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
I've been in the mood for lettuce wraps lately. I mean, I've been really craving them. I love using crunchy butter/Boston lettuce and wrapping up stuff like ground chicken, Thai-style vegetables and even just lunch meat. Lettuce wraps are always a super refreshing meal and great for a lunch when working at home. You could… Continue reading Hoisin Pork Lettuce Wraps
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
