Whip-It-Up: Week 4

Week 4's theme was Healthy Options. This theme is quite timely as Jason just started his cleanse. The cleanse he is doing is one where he is allowed only veggies and meat! This is an interesting "diet", I think it would be fun to try it one day. I will write a post about my thoughts on this cleanse another time.

Ok, back to Whip-It-Up. For some reason the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the theme was Lettuce Wraps. Consider the fact that not only do I think this will be a easy recipe, it will be a healthy and delicious one too! So, onto the Internet to search for a good recipe and I found one here.

The list of ingredients was short and simple, the directions the same. This definitely makes the questions of whether the recipe was easy to follow an easy one to answer!

The only glitch came when I realized I don't own a wok so it make stir-frying a little different! But I managed with the biggest saucepan I have and it turned out fine.

The wraps were easy to modify too. Since Jason can't eat carbs, I didn't add the noodles to the stir-fry, instead I cooked the noodles after and added to my wraps separately. Since I love mushrooms, I sautéed some and added them as well.

The wraps were tasty AND surprising filling too. I would definitely make them again. Now that I know what to do, I would probably just get a bunch of ingredients I like and put them together instead of following a recipe.

Until next week when we tackle the theme of Spicy!
