Day One

Yum!!

Oh! So very delicious!

I wish every day was this easy and satisfying.

I just had the best dinner and I am including a picture and recipe of course.

Lettuce Wraps

grilled chicken

zucchini

carrots

mushrooms

sweet bell pepper

Teriyaki sauce (low-sodium would be best)

Butter lettuce (or your choice of lettuce)

Grilled chicken on my George Foreman. Let it marinate in the fridge for 2-3 hours in a cup or so of teriyaki sauce. While that was grilling, I diced up all my veggies, very small! Place veggies in a bowl and sprinkled them with garlic powder and salt and pepper and a bit more teriyaki sauce, to coat. Stirred it up, put lid on it and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours also. When we were ready to eat, I heated up about 1/2 Tbs of canola oil in saute pan and then poured in the veggies. Let them cook while I diced up the chicken. The chicken was already grilled, so it just needed to go in for a few minutes to warm and get friendly with the veggies. Wash the butter lettuce and prepare the peanut sauce.

Peanut Sauce

1/4 cup lime juice

3 Tbs peanut butter

3 Tbs honey

3 Tbs soy sauce

1 Tbs chili paste with garlic (I substituted garlic powder, just a sprinkle)

4 garlic cloves (didn't use this, just the above garlic powder)

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir well with wire whisk. Can be used as dipping sauce, or poured over the contents of your wrap. I just used a few little well-placed dots and I totally loved it!

Luke was having none of the healthy stuff!
