I have been living gluten free for almost 10 years. Way back then it was hard to find gluten free solutions. I made my fair share of flops trying my hand at gluten free baking. The most important thing that I learned early on was- Don’t try to replace all your favorite gluten-filled recipes at once. Take your time and try something different instead.
This recipe is a great way to give a lettuce wrap a try. And if you need more solutions to going gluten free you can start here.
