Tuesdays are my marathon days: out of the house at 7:45 AM, not home until 10 PM. I eat my breakfast as soon as I get to work at 9, lunch is at 11:45 (it sounds early, but I’m already used to the schedule!), shovel in a snack or two on the subway to school at 3, inhale dinner in between classes at 7. It’s not the most relaxing day of the week.
I’ve finally grown tired of my favorite lunch, so I mixed it up last week with lettuce wraps. I love the idea of lettuce wraps, but they always seem like such a hassle to put together. Well, these guys took about 3 minutes of prep and were incredibly satisfying.
I washed three big romaine leaves, cut them in half, wrapped them in paper towels and put them in a Ziplock. In a tupperware, I packed sliced peppers + tomatoes, half a lemon, and almond pulp hummus with a sprinkle of cayenne. When lunch time rolled around, the wraps were quick to assemble: just layer everything together and add a squirt of lemon!
What are you lunching on today?
