Ground Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps for a Healthy Dinner

You all know I love exploring and making healthy dishes. It all started because I wanted to lose weight and now it's more for a healthier lifestyle for a longer life.

Now, tacos are one of the most loved Mexican dishes, whether it's to remedy a hangover or for a quick hunger fix. The thing though is that it can be the opposite of healthy eating. But we all can't stay away from it, amirite? There's literally hundreds of taco recipes out there that made a healthier recipe for it, all to get the best of both worlds. There won't be any substitute for the real thing of course, but these recipes can still satisfy the palate.

Easy Pork Ramen Recipe, Because Everybody's Into Ramen


This idea came to me after my mom and dad gave me some ideas on what to cook my husband for dinner. I told them that Nick isn't a fan of repeating dishes (except for Subway!) but that I didn't want to slave away every night in our kitchen. So they said the best way for variety is to boil pork shoulder.

They gave me a variety of recipes - slice the pork shoulder after and serve it with a dipping sauce or serve it with fried tofu. My mom said to store the broth in mason jars and use it as my base for sinigang (a sour broth soup favorite among Filipinos). But for someone who's watched countless cooking shows featuring ramen (in fact this week we just watched an episode of Chef's Table on Netflix which featured a Jewish chef whose ramen is quite famous even in Japan), I knew the base of any ramen is either pork or chicken broth. So I could easily make ramen from this.
