Lettuce Wraps with Tuna and Grapes
Jeannette Quiñones-Cantore
Give a twist to your tuna salads and transform them into delicious wraps that you can serve with a variety of fillings. I assure you they will be an option to cheer up your day, and they will still make a delicious lunch. The best part is that you can fill them with the ingredients you have in the fridge or pantry, such as chicken breast fillets, beef, vegetables, fresh or canned salmon, or tuna. So use your imagination and create your own wraps with the ingredients you have in your kitchen.
You see how easy they are to prepare! You don?t have to eat the same meals every day. I invite you to prepare them and share them with your family.

Greek Salad
Salads are very tasty and an excellent entrée to whet the appetite. Greek salad is very fresh and easy to prepare. It is also one of my husband’s favorite salads, which is why it is a must in the Father’s Day menu of this year.
This type of salad is called Greek salad because it includes Mediterranean ingredients, such as olive oil dressing, Kalamata olives and feta cheese.
It is clearly a delicious dish and a great entrée for a special lunch to celebrate Dad on his day.

Pho Noodles Soup with Shrimp and Fish
My daughters, like so many other kids, love all kinds of pasta. Since they were very little, I tried to invent sauces for noodles by blending pure vegetables. One time we went to a Vietnamese restaurant, and the kids, who were used to eating some green ‘things’ on top of their pasta, found these noodles delicious and fun to eat.
I love this style because it is served with a lot of fresh vegetables, which can always be varied and added to others you have (sometimes I change my recipe and add cilantro, avocado, tall greens or golden onions in butter).
Enjoy this deliciousness with everyone at home!

Thai Vegetable Tacos
From time to time, my vegetarian friend comes over for dinner. Usually, we have a lot of fun in the kitchen and cook new recipes together. This last time, I asked her what she preferred to eat, and she suggested that we make Thai Tacos. Thai Vegetable Tacos? I was intrigued.
In my opinion, tacos are one of the best dishes. The possibilities are endless and nearly anything tastes amazing inside a crispy shell!
While the ingredient list might seem a bit long, don´t worry. It´s well worth making your own Thai sauce instead of purchasing that peanut Thai sauce at the store.
The crispy vegetables and the soft texture of the tofu make it a delicious recipe we will try again!
