Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups

     This week was spring break and luckily we did not lose our break this year!  I feel so fortunate to have had this week to be home with Wren.  We didn't have the most glamorous plans-we interviewed every landscaper in town to help us clean up our backyard, went to the dentist, and did other chores around the house...all things that had to be done.  A trip to a tropical location would have been nice, but I'll settle for a week full of chores as long as it's with my girl!

Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups
 Ingredients
1 lb of ground meat
1 lb of thinly sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 tbsp of oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 cups of broccoli slaw or broccoli chopped into small bits
½ cup of shredded carrots
1-2 tbsp of fish sauce
1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper

Method
1. Use a food processor to chop the onion.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add the oil.
3. Add the onions to the skillet.  Once they are translucent, add the mushrooms.
4. Once the mushrooms are tender, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding the beef.  Stir until the meat is no longer pink.
5. Add the fish oil and apple cider vinegar.  Toss in some salt and pepper.
6. Finally, add the broccoli and carrots.  Cook until the vegetables soften.
7. Spoon into large lettuce leaves or serve on top of salad.

The Test Test
So good and so easy!

Look who is back in CT...it's Jax and he is 5!
