Happy Tuesday 

and 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

I will share my costume with you all on Friday so 

keep an eye out :)

Today I am sharing another great recipe I got from school!

I altered it a little based on what we had at home.

Leftovers were delicious and these are a 

new favorite for us.

I plan on making a double batch next time because

these wraps are light, healthy and super easy!

5. Add water chestnuts, carrot, green onions, sesame oil, and cooked ground chicken; cook and stir about 2 minutes.

6. Pile meat mixture in the center of your lettuce.

SUPER easy and delicious!

I chose chicken because we had it on hand, but you could always

do beef or turkey!!

Enjoy some lettuce wraps tonight after all your 

trick or treating is done :)
