I’ve been a vegetarian all of my adult life. I originally stopped eating meat and poultry because I became interested in animal rights, but my on going good health has become an extra benefit. 
I am by no means a cook. I don’t even like the kitchen. LOL But hey, we gotta eat. I love the products by companies like Morning Star Farms, Gardenburger (love their meatballs with some sweet and sour sauce!) and Boca because they’re so easy to use. I found this recipe on the MSF website that I’d like to try.

Thanks for this simple recipe. I’m afraid of the kitchen so I love simple recipes like these. Looks really easy to follow and prepare.

I’m not usually into vegetarian but these lettuce wraps sound pretty tasty. Best part i like is you can make this meal in 10 minutes.
