Lettuce Fettish

You would think I am prego with all my ''pickle" snacks, but I think I just like pickles...I totally get Snooki's obsession- and YES, FRIED are the best, IF you get them in the right place...AND it's your free day, cause the fried ones are definitely not recommended as a daily indulgence for a healthy lifestyle.




I like to snack on these when I'm cooking now- keeps me from nibbling other things because I ALWAYS wait too long to start dinner...



This jar had a ton of cauliflower in it- that's my FAV, the onion thingy scares me a bit- it looks too much like an eyeball. Luckily there was only one in this jar...it's still floating around in there...watching me eat the other vegi's- creepy!



 We continued the lettuce wrap experiment as it was highly popular, I made Asian style lettuce wraps with ground turkey that I seasoned with this coupon freebee:

 

 ~these are pretty cheap w/out a coupon at Kroger affiliates, ($.89 at my local Fry's) and you can use this coupon link for  $.25 off Sunbird Seasoning or Soup Mix and save more $$ :D

We usually use this as a chicken marinade and then you can bake the chicken (I don't follow the directions on the back, as it has you coat the chicken in flour ect) I just marinade the chicken and bake or pan fry (no oil- but you need REALLY good pans to fry w/out oil) This marinade is a STAPLE in our house- everyone loves it!

 

Here's the finished product and the kids ATE THESE UP! super fun for them and super yummy! I made sure to double the turkey so I would have leftovers for lunch and you will probably want to as well as the marinade packet makes A LOT of marinade- way to much for 1 package of turkey meat.

Since Mr. Water Diet doesn't eat lettuce I just saved a bowl of the meat and topped it with a healthy serving of steamed broccoli- he loved it, so there's another meal option/idea if your not into lettuce.

I'm just starting explore the lettuce realm- what are your favorites?
