Happy Tuesday all! Thanks for sharing your Mac & Cheese love and for the nice comments on yesterday’s post. Today was one tasty day that is definitely repeat again. I love it when you can work in a great and still have points left to spare.
I tried a new Weight Watchers recipe for lunches this week and I have to say it’s good but not as fantastic as I thought it would be. I made a batch of the Spicy Thai Larb lettuce wraps using ground turkey. I liked the brightness of the line but it fell a little flat so I ended up adding hoisin, rice vinegar and some sweet chili peppers for some spicy heat. It may sound bad but I think I prefer these lettuce wraps instead.
Two other awesome things about my day – a 5 SmartPoints chocolate covered Easter Bunny – so worth it! And The Husband grilled us up one delicious dinner – I just had to make the salad.

Night all!
I made lettuce wraps like your old recipe last night (and just leftovers for lunch). I love them so much – don’t think that’s bad at allll.
Probably 75% of our meat consumption is turkey because it is versatile and we truly enjoy it. For some reason I’ve found I like the lettuce wraps made with ground chicken breasts better. It makes a big difference. I’d like to know what you think if you try it.
Thanks Julie. I think I’ll try chicken out the next time I make lettuce wraps.
