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
Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Let me set the scene for you: it's 10:45 a.m. on Friday. It's 35 degrees outside and although the sun is out, it still feels frigid. My cat, Bolo, is pacing anxiously around my bed waiting for me to get up. I unravel myself from my heavy comforter. My foot breaches the air from outside… Continue reading Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps
BLT Chicken Salad
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the book and movie "Harriet the Spy". I started carrying around my own composition notebook, writing down everything I saw during my day. I tried to be Harriet. I wanted to be her. One thing that Harriet loved was mayonnaise and tomato sandwiches. Even though I… Continue reading BLT Chicken Salad
Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
One of my favorite things to get at the grocery store is catfish nuggets. It's simply chopped up catfish filets, but it's half the cost of an actual filet. My mom always uses catfish nuggets to make fried catfish, and now I can see why. I bought nearly 3.5 pounds of catfish for less than… Continue reading Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
Turkey Burgers with Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli
Woo! This recipe is a mouthful. I mean, the title is a mouthful. It's the best way to describe these burgers, but also the longest! I'm not usually one to make homemade burgers or burger patties (thanks, frozen pre-made versions), but I decided it was time to start. Red meat was out, so I went… Continue reading Turkey Burgers with Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli
California Club Wraps
I sure miss sandwiches. Grilled cheese, meatball subs...give me all the sandwiches. Sure, I make that keto mug bread every so often, but it's not the same. I love crusty bread sandwiches and subs. God, I miss carbs. The main way I turn sandwiches into keto-fied version is making lettuce wraps. I'm not pick when… Continue reading California Club Wraps
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long. I got a cutie Pioneer Woman slow cooker for Christmas, and probably have only used it a half a dozen times since then. I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
Chicken Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wraps
After gnawing on some big, pink heartburn chews yesterday, I realized why the strawberry-flavored medication tasted so good: corn syrup. The dreaded sugar substitute. I think that effictively kicked me out of ketosis because as of testing a few minutes ago, I was only showing trace amounts of ketones. Great. So that's why I've been… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wraps
