50 Shades of Green Challenge day 7

1/8/2017

0 Comments

 
so here we are a week into my personal challenge of eating mostly green at every meal. This has been a fun challenge pushing me to create more food in advance so I can always have something to eat for me.

Today we made lettuce wraps based on our favorite ones at PF Changs. My kids love iceberg lettuce. Ugh, it is basically water but it gets them saying they love salad. It's a start. So we mixed up ground chicken and water chestnuts. We made a sauce of soy sauce, mustard, rice vinegar and a bit of cornstarch to thicken it. And a side drizzle of soy, sriracha and Chinese mustard. I made mine vegetarian using extra firm tofu. All 3 of my kids gobbled them down and begged for more. Usually I use Boston Butter lettuce so next time I will remember to buy it at the store when I plan to make these.
