SIDE NOTES:
~ Lettuce wraps are a great way to introduce picky eaters to lettuce. Of course, use a filling you know they’ll like. Any combination that sounds appealing to your kids (or you) will work. All you need are a couple of large romaine leaves & something to roll up. You can either incorporate a dressing into the wrap, or have a dip on the side.
