So I took this idea from a couple of recipes at Engine2.com.
They suggest kale or swiss chard, but I used romaine lettuce leaves.
Spread the leaf with homemade hummus (I like it with garlic and red pepper) - but I need a better recipe with more spice and flavor.
Top the hummus with any chopped veggies you want. I used leeks, broccoli, green pepper and tomato. Corn would be good and so would cucumber and zucchini.
Roll the lettuce leaf like a burrito using the stem as the bottom. Ta da!
It was tasty (but my spice skills need work to improve flavors), filling - because you can eat however many you want, and easy. I suppose you could wrap anything up in the leaf - quinoa, rice, mustard - it essentially is a wrap, which we all know how to make and eat!
I kind of feel like an ex-smoker...I crave certain foods in certain situations. Fridays used to be pizza day. I don't miss it - but my brain thinks it needs it. It's an odd experience. I guess that's what an addiction is.
I'm going to the Rally for Sanity in D.C. tomorrow and packing some food. I want to avoid the vendors with hot dogs and kabobs!
I'm thinking...
Hummus sandwich on whole grain bread
the island vanilla shredded wheat from Kashi that I love to snack on
an apple
and maybe carrots
Onward :)
