Anyone else ever have a love affair with PF Chang’s Lettuce Wraps?? Just me?
Whenever there is an appetizer at a restaurant involving lettuce wraps I’m always interested. However, sometimes even when something appears healthy, there are so many hidden ingredients that you may not really want to be consuming. Which is why asking questions is always key. If you feel uncomfortable asking right there, call ahead! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this and they are usually super nice and helpful. Just make sure you aren’t calling at a super busy time.
So yet again, I find myself inspired to create things I’ve loved in my past life in a healthy way. These are so simple and light to throw together for a quick dinner. Even better to have as a starter or appetizer at your own get together! The best part is that are no secret ingredients hiding in there that may upset your stomach or have negative side effects on your health.
