New Favorite Summer Quicky Quick Lunch! Lettuce Wraps!

My new favorite lunch?  Quickie Quick Lettuce wraps!
4 big iceberg lettuce leaves
4 slices boar's head low sodium turkey (or your favorite cold cuts)
4 slices 40 cal 1/2 slice (I use Sarrgento) Provolone cheese (or your favorite cheese)
2t light mayo

Lay out a lettuce leaf and dab a little light mayo on the leaf - schmear around.
Then lay on a piece of turkey and a piece of cheese - roll up!  Yum!

It's super refreshing for summer plus - no bread carbs!  I thought it wouldn't be filling but YUM!  You can use any type of lettuce or cold cuts.  Enjoy!

Chocolate Marscapone Whipped Cream - OMG!!!!

OMG!!!  You could eat this all by itself - but with strawberries and angelfood cake - you will think you died and went to Heaven!  My mom was licking the bowl and beaters when I made this at her house.
No matter how much you make I know there will be none left! (Although if you do - you can put it in a sealed plastic or glass container for up to 3 days.)  Now you will note I use coconut sugar rather than regular sugar (you can get this from Amazon like I did.  It tastes and converts like sugar without the high glycemic impact on your system).



Chocolate Marscapone Whipped Cream

  • 1/2C heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2C marscapone cheese
  • 1t vanilla extract (the real stuff)
  • 1T cocoa powder
  • 1T coconut sugar (I get mine on Amazon.com but if you are good w/ regular sugar that's fine too - measure it 1 for 1)


stick your mixing bowl & the beaters in the freezer for about 20mins.  When done - it's not super pretty unless you pipe it onto the cake all fancy but the stuff doesn't stick around long enough at my house for it to get pretty.  Enjoy!!!
