So I had this super amazing chickpea salad a few weeks ago.

I tried to find the recipe EVERYWHERE.

I never found it and just made up what I could remember and used those ingredients.

I found the recipe today.

Last week I had a pound of frozen, ground turkey and zero inspiration.

I googled “ground turkey recipes” and found a super easy and fast meatball recipe.

Sold.

Meatballs usually are not something you associate with “Asian Cuisine”, at least not in my life…when I hear meatballs I think:

Pasta. Bread. Garlic. Parmesan. Carbs. Marinara. Carbs.

So I am pretty excited to find a meatball that doesn’t have me reaching for copious amounts of bread all night long!

Have you ever had the lettuce wraps at P.F. Changs?

You should try them.

They are delish/my favorite.

These wraps I have for you today are a pretty close second!

I made these for Mikey this week.

He kept mentioning how they made for such a healthy dinner.  He also said that they were super tasty and that I was the best wife ever.

Then he realized how many dishes there were and immediately changed his mind.

I use a lot of dishes when I’m cooking in a hurry.

Mikey is my dishwasher. He’s incredible like that.

I’m pretty sure he learned it from his Dad 🙂

I have been craving lentils lately.

Maybe it is the semi-summer weather we are having.

I wanted to make a cold lentil salad that was light, flavor filled, and had some cheese and vegetables in it.

I also threw in some oil, vinegar and lemon juice to make a vinaigrette.

So you have probably just assumed that this is a baking blog.

It isn’t supposed to be that way.

Mikey doesn’t even really like sweet stuff…

So I’ve decided to share some real food with you.

That’s a lie.

This should not be considered real food. You can make this with your eyes closed. It’s that easy. I made this for a family holiday and it was a hit.

I feel like these types of dip are all the same. A can of this, a bottle of that, lots of cheese and probably some mayo…tastes good though.

So here you go. Here is my first non-dessert item. It’s not impressive at all. Feel free to judge me alllll you want. I promise I know how to cook (or at least I’m learning). I promise to start sharing some real life and mostly healthy foods with you soon:)

Wait, one more thing:

I’m a dirty liar.

I told you I wouldn’t include these “group shots” anymore…I took this a long time ago, and it helps you grasp how simple the recipe is.

Sorry.

The only ingredient you have to prep are the canned artichokes. You have to finely chop them…
