Thanks to Kristin from Iowa Girl Eats, my husband and I enjoy this delicious, fresh meal that tastes just as good as the "real thing"! (and was budget friendly for sure!)
You may have to buy a few ingredients that you usually wouldn't have in your cupboard, but trust me - it's worth it! You will make this again and again!
Ready to serve!

dash of fresh pepper

1/2-8oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
10-12 large outer lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
Directions:

YUMMO!
I hope you try this dish soon. It's fresh and filling and SO tasty!
I'm making this tonight for my parents, sister and brother-in-law when we gather for dinner. I look forward to getting them hooked on this delicious meal!
Have a blessed week,
For the Soul:
Here is a song of praise in response to remembering that God has blotted out
our transgressions and redeemed us!
"Sing, O heavens, for the LORD has done it! Shout, you lower parts of
the earth; Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in
it! For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, And glorified Himself in Israel." Isaiah 44:23 NKJV
