Thai Lettuce Boats

In celebration of national meat-free day, (yup it’s a thing & yay to everyone who participated!) I made this quick & simple recipe that featured fresh flavors that were refreshing & light (also gluten-free & vegan of course!)

Further Food Commentary:

If you are thinking about cutting back on how much meat you eat, consider the practice of Meatless Mondays. Try out a plant-based meal like these Thai lettuce boats on Mondays, and you may find that you are eating more veggies and your grocery bill is cheaper! Legumes like edamame, lentils, & beans provide a good amount of protein and fiber, and can be used in place of meat in many recipes.

This recipe is high in unsaturated (healthy) fats that are important for cardiovascular health. Unsaturated fats help to lower your total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, as well as reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.
