Healthy Lettuce Wraps
Much of my recipe inspiration tends to come from favorite meals and childhood nostalgia. I love putting a “Goodness With G” spin on these longtime favs, meaning they still have all of the deliciousness without any of the added ingredients you don’t want.
These Healthy Lettuce Wraps do just that and are the perfect example of how amazing a meal made from simple, real ingredients can be! You’ll only need a handful of staples for this recipe that makes a great appetizer to serve to guests or whip up for a fun lunch or dinner to enjoy yourself.
I hope you enjoy this fun, nutritious spin on a classic!
