| Nori Wraps |
I have been watching my carb intake lately and trying to eat less starches (mainly because I am trying to drop my last 4-6 pounds and realize that's an area I could cut back in). I have traded in bread and tortillas for sheets of nori and my tastebuds and tummy have been delighted with the results! Nori is seaweed, found most commonly wrapped around sushi rolls. Whole Foods sells sheets of it. You can also purchase them at an Asian Foods market (for a lot less).
Below are a few of the concoctions I have come up with, but you can have all sorts of fun with these, stuffing them with your faves or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge. They are super healthy and fun to make. Enjoy!

2. Layer first the cabbage, then the cucumber, and last the avocado.
