Thai Noodle Lettuce Wraps: Dinner in Under 10 minutes

So you have come home from work and have like 30 minutes to feed everyone, get ready, and head out the door to be somewhere. Yes.. you could hit a drive through and everyone eats burgers in the car while you drive like a crazy person or…. you could give this recipe a try.

I have made this recipe more times than I can count. I walk in the door, dump noodles in a bowl, put the kettle on.. and go start getting ready. Come back pour water on the noodles and let them sit while I help the kids ready. Then all the sauce ingredients go into a blender, while my kids take on the job of getting out the veggies we need. Within 10 minutes time, we are sitting and eating these wraps before we have to leave. Any leftovers? No problem, these make a great lunchbox idea for the week ahead.

For me, a working mom, these are the real recipes. The simple foods that everyone will eat and I can feel good about serving them. This is also a cheaper than what that burger drive-through would have cost you, not to mention your health thanks you for making this plant-based, nutrient dense choice.
