I’ve had 2 different appetizers for dinner tonight which is reminiscent of what I like to order when eating out but these are much more Paleo friendly. My awesome baked Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings and ground beef Lettuce Wraps sounds like an odd combination but they taste great and are very satisfying! The lettuce wraps are packed with flavor from the combination of coconut aminos and shiitake mushrooms. I added carrots and bamboo shoots to incorporate more vegetables into this meal.

Yum! Who needs to eat out when you can eat this! Looks scrumptious!
Thank you Brooke!
Perfection! Love the Asian style of these lettuce wraps. The trick is to get the perfect leaves of butter lettuce!!
Thank you Meg 🙂 I was glad I picked the right head of butter lettuce. For the larger leaves, I ended up rolling the lettuce wraps like a burrito 😉
This recipe is awesome! My whole family enjoyed it! I didn’t have any mushrooms or bamboo shoots, so I used some fresh beats from my garden and onion instead. It was wonderful! Thanks!
That sounds lovely!
