My Favorite Vegetarian Lettuce Wrap Lunch/Brunch 😋❤️🌺

I felt hungry and decided to have my lunch early today. 😁 I made my simplest protein butter lettuce wrap with my mixed vegetables. 😋

Ingredients are: diced water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger (great kick for taste in this combo), cilantro, carrots, bell peppers, red and green onions. All sautéed in olive oil, garlic sauce, wine vinegar, one teaspoon of mushroom soy sauce and peppers.

Dessert: Oatmeal cookie with Jasmine tea.

I love having this combination of veggies with diced vegetable ham. It is light and fulfilling at the same time. ❤️

Hey Koko, your salad looks and sounds a great combination of lovely flavours so with your desert even better. 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Happenstances. 😊🙏 yes can roll with lettuce or rice wrap rolls too 😁👍

[Kainan]

dang that looks super nice Koko. That's a very pleasing array of colors. If that's a meal for you, that would be a decent snack for me 😅😅🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Thank you Kainan. 😊🙏 Whatttt I’m still full cuz it’s packed with good protein. I probably just gonna have some avocado and yogurt later. 😂 You eat with your eyes! 🤣😂🤣.

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I'd finish that in like less than 10 min and will feel hungry again an hour later

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Hmmm your metabolism should be good then but I doubt you will feel hungry after this in an hour, no way. 🤣😂😅

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

yeah maybe for you it's fine but me I need more calories and it doesn't seem like it has all that much

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

You just need good proteins to curve that hunger. Well I’ve always been in healthy weight of 110lbs and been eating like this so it works for me. What’s your dinner? 😋

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

so I had Spanish rice chicken and Caesar salad

[Kainan in reply to Kainan]

did you julienne those carrots yourself?

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

I bet you enjoyed your dinner. I’m not Caesar salad fan. 😂 No, those are already chopped, organic also. I got it from Trader Joe’s

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

ahh that's a time saver. Those are a hassle to do

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

That’s right. The rest I like dicing them, kinda therapeutic for me. 😂

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I totally get that. It's a great feeling chopping them up and seeing them all uniform

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

Yes put on your best track of music and start dicing, that’s joy right there! 😁

[Kainan in reply to Hidden]

I go for the country but like not sad soul crushing country music, no the happy kind about drinking and finding true love and stuff, even though I never drink and I haven't got a clue about that second one 🤣🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Kainan]

No comment on the country music. You enjoy yourself 🤣😂👍

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hey Koko,what happens when you play country music backwards?....

You get your truck your partner and your dog back...🙃

[BTCCET in reply to Hidden]

🙄😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Who knows how to combine a sense of humor with wisdom better than you in this entire HU Jerry? 😁🙏

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Awe thanks Koko. 😁

[Subtle_badger]

What's protein butter? 😕

[PandQs in reply to Subtle_badger]

Eats shoots and leaves, it's the way you've read it. Vegetarian protein, using butterhead lettuce for the wrap.

[Subtle_badger in reply to PandQs]

I'm more confused. Where's the protein?

Or is there TVP or something similar?

[PandQs in reply to Subtle_badger]

There is mention of vegetarian "ham" which may be that.

[Hidden in reply to Subtle_badger]

Subtle_badger, the post is self-explanatory if you would take time and read through.

[Subtle_badger in reply to Hidden]

I wasn't trolling, I really didn't understand it. And I not only took the time to to read it through, I entered everything on the ingredient list into cronometer to see if there was protein hidden in the veggies. I didn't go back to the last sentence because I assumed the ingredient list was a list of all the ingredients 😳

Cronometer

[Hidden in reply to Subtle_badger]

Now Subtle_badger, would you please so kind and enlighten me what is “protein butter”? I don’t think I included butter in my ingredients list either. 🤔

[Hidden]

Thank you Happyman4, you are so kind and I’m always impressed with your meal posts. 😊🙏🌺

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator Vegan star]

That looks amazing, bursting with flavour and colour 😊

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Thank you Kitten-Whiskers. You are so kind. I really enjoyed it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊🙏☀️🌺

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator Vegan star in reply to Hidden]

I will definately have to try that, it looks wonderful. Thank you and you 🙃

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Aweee definitely I’m sure you will enjoy it so much just like I did. 🙃😋👍

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator Vegan star in reply to Hidden]

Most definitely 😁

[PandQs in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

I'm glad you typed "definitely" this time Kitten-Whiskers - if you watched Line of Duty recently on TV you'll know that "definately" as in your previous comment, was the clue to finding the mysterious villain of the series "H" 🤣

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator Vegan star in reply to PandQs]

Oh yes, the mysterious "H"

I loved the line of duty 😁

[PandQs]

Hi Ex-Pat, that is exactly the book I was referring to 😀 I think the phrase is now very well known as a reference to how things can be read to have different meanings, depending on the punctuation.

[PandQs]

Brilliant 😂
