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
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
