Chicken and Rice Wraps with Ginger Sauce

As I was sitting at breakfast on Saturday in my yoga pants and over-sized t-shirt, I turned to my husband and said, “I have done a terrible job getting dressed with this pregnancy.” Without skipping a beat he chimed back, “At least the food is better this time, honey.” I laughed. I am a sucker for chauvinist humor. And I suppose, there would have to be a grain of truth for it to be funny. The first time I was pregnant, I worked until the day I delivered, and when I got home I did not have the energy to cook. I had just gone on my gluten-free diet and the search for food could get desperate at times.

The first person to cook gluten-free for me was my mom. My mom came out to take care of me in the throws of the first trimester and stayed for a week. She figured out how to make all my favorite comfort foods and had food on the table for me when I got home from work. It was fabulous! I cried when she left. Since the early days of the gluten-free diet, things have gotten easier, healthier, and more delicious. I have to say, it also helps that these days I am taking life in the slow lane.

I made this quick and easy recipe Sunday night for dinner:

CHICKEN AND RICE WRAPS WITH GINGER SAUCE

Food for Life Brown Rice Tortillas

1 lb chicken tenders

Marinate the chicken with lime juice, 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, sea salt, and pepper while you prepare the rest of the meal.
