Lettuce Wraps...A delicious gluten free option.

November 13, 2014: I have been living a gluten free lifestyle now for five and a half years, and although I have grown very accustomed to eating the "un-sandwich", which is usually all the good stuff but no bread, I needed something a bit different. 

Lately, I have been loading up these oversized Romain leaves and it has been really hitting the spot. The bite of the lettuce gives a great crunch and it is the perfect vessel for holding all of those yummy ingredients that one would traditionally put between two slices of bread. 

The cool thing is that many restaurants will do this for you as well. When ordering your sandwich or burger, simply ask the server if you can have it wrapped in lettuce. They almost always are able to accommodate and usually you will get someone who says, "What a great idea!". 

Today's lunch:

Lettuce wraps filled with leftover baked chicken and avocado then topped with shredded cheddar cheese, balsamic vinegar, pink himalayan sea salt and black pepper. Delish!!
