Creativity in the Kitchen

It's been crazy in my home for the past few weeks.  We are in the process of moving which can just be a big pain to begin with, but then throw into the mix a toddler and a puppy.  I'm sure you can imagine.  Since we are moving in less than a week now, most of my kitchen is packed up, including all my spices.  I don't even have salt or pepper which means that I am limited in what I can make.  I don't like to eat processed foods and I really try to limit how much we eat, so because of all this I have come to realize that winning the battle of creating delicious meals for the whole family simply comes down to a little creativity.

Let's just say that I was able to make something yummy for dinner tonight that did not come out of a box and I was able to do it with the following ingredients.

Ground Turkey
Brown Rice
Teriyaki Sauce
Romaine Lettuce Leaves

So, what did I make.....my version of the Asian Lettuce Wrap.  I took four simple ingredients that I already had on hand and with a little creativity came up with something the whole family can enjoy!
