Lettuce cups and Day 5
2011
Over the weekend, I was trying to figure out what to make for lunch when I hadn’t gone to the store yet. I was cleaning out my freezer when I saw a package of ground turkey, and I had some frozen veggies, then I had a few fresh carrots and green onion and butter lettuce, so I decided to make lettuce cups.
This would be great to use up leftover veggies at the end of the week.
I used:
ground turkey – about 4 oz.
frozen carrots and peas
fresh carrots
green onions
garlic
butter lettuce
your favorite stir fry sauce – I use House of Tsang brand peanut sauce)
Cook turkey in a small skillet until no longer pink, add the veggies and cook for another 5-7 minutes and then add your favorite stir fry sauce. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and put it in the lettuce cup and fold up and eat. So good and easy to make!
So I have finished Day 5 of my goal of 100 days of getting some type of exercise. I rode my bike to and from work (3.4 miles) and even though it was 95 degrees, I walked for 30 minutes during lunch. Did I want to do that? Nope! Was I glad I did when it was over? YES! 
On my walk I was thinking about Kelly who frequently walks a few miles during her lunch break. And I knew my sister Biz would be doing some type of exercise (she rode her bike for 50 minutes!). So those two people inspired me to move during lunch.
We had my daughter’s softball game last night..it was a nail biter, down the whole game and then we scored the last inning to win the game! It was a great time!
Have a great day!! It’s thunderstorms right now, so I won’t be able to ride my bike today to work, so I’ll have to think of something else.

Those look delicious and would be great for someone trying to eat lower carb!
Wicked weather here too, although I love the heat.

I love recipes like this, that come out of leftovers and other things you already have at home. This sounds like a winner!

That is the great thing about exercise – you may not want to do it, but you are always happy that you did. And that’s what I told myself to get to the pool this morning!

The lettuce cups sound great! I love when great dishes happen when I have “no food.”
