    I plan to make this for dinner tonight and also add some rice noodles to it as well for a little extra filling but it will still be under 300 calories.

    SWEET & SPICY LETTUCE WRAPS

    www.RecipeGirl.com

    3 Tbsp. unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
    3 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
    2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
    2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
    1 tsp. fresh minced ginger
    1 tsp. dark sesame oil
    1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
    1/2 tsp. minced garlic
    2 cups thinly sliced cabbage
    1/2 cup grated carrot
    1 cup canned, sliced water chestnuts, drained
    1 cup finely diced cooked chicken breast
    12 Bibb lettuce leaves

    1. Place peanuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan frequently. Remove pan from heat; set aside.

    2. In a small bowl, combine hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, oil, pepper and garlic in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.

    3. In a medium bowl, mix 2 Tbsp. peanuts, slaw, water chestnuts, and chicken; add sauce and toss well.

    4. Spoon about 1/3 cup of chicken salad in the center of each lettuce leaf; Sprinkle each lettuce wrap with remaining 1 Tbsp. peanuts. Serve immediately.

    Yield: 4 servings (3 lettuce wraps per person)

    My go to fast meal is cooking chicken or pork in a skillet with some onions and garlic.
    Adding a frozen veggie as a side. And also a side salad. If my husband is really hungry, I add some toast or warm bread that we have on hand.

    Another fast and fun meal is making a homemade pizza. I get the Pillsbury Pizza Crust.
    Add spaghetti or tomato sauce and whatever veggies I have on hand or extra meat I may have leftover.

    It bakes up so fast! Just cook the crust, top with your ingredients and put back in the oven for like 10 minutes.
