White Bean and Spinach Vegetable Wraps

I love summer. Summer means playing outside, long hikes, days at the beach, summer concerts and outdoor plays.

Because we’re outside more than we are in, I look for a variety of recipes that are quick to make and even easier to throw in our cooler and be ready for a meal anywhere we choose to take it.

These past couple of weeks, concerts are in full force around the Portland area. (Like Cloverdayle here in Lake Oswego, Oregon.)

So we pack up our cooler filled with good eats – strawberries and blackberries from the local farmers market, a spinach salad with blueberries and walnuts, a bottle of wine, and one of my latest favorites, White Bean and Spinach Vegetable Wraps.

These wraps are super easy to make, and can be stored in the refrigerator for a day, making them easy to make the night before you’re ready to head out for the day.

I choose a spouted whole wheat tortilla that gives you added health benefits.

Then make sure you leave about a one inch space around the ages for rolling – that will keep your tortillas sauce-free on the outside, and all the yummy goodness on the inside.

When selecting spinach leaves, use several to cover the wrap completely. This will give you a hearty crunch when you bite into the wrap. I’ve found two wraps are perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner, especially when you add in a few berries or possibly some veggies as an appetizer.

“What is it with females and their chocolate?” Andrew says this every time I make my way into the kitchen looking for something sweet. I’m not a big sweets person. And after reducing my sugar intake substantially over the years, it’s more difficult than ever for me to eat prepackaged desserts. Sure, I’ll have gelato […]

This past weekend, the heat raged on. Hitting our tenth consecutive day above 90 degrees, I knew the nightly dinner routine would NOT include turning on the oven. Before I made the switch to a vegetarian diet, we would visit PF Changs every couple of months when I got a craving for their Shrimp with […]
