As some of you know, on April 21, 2010 I'll be a guest on WCNC's show Charlotte Today. I plan on making my Pina Colada Salad, found on page 129 of my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and I'll also plan to demonstrate how simple Romaine Lettuce Wraps can be. These wraps are great as appetizers. If you want a change from that traditional salad at lunch, these are perfect. You can even make them into a main dish. It's all a matter of being creative.
The above are:
Split carrots with cheese drizzled with Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing & marinade
Deli Ham rolls with Braswell's Creamy Vidalia Onion dressing
Wild Alaska Crab Delight drizzled with Louisiana Cocktail Sauce
The 2 smaller wraps are the crab delight cut into pieces showing how they can be used as an appetizer.
Romaine lettuce makes the perfect lettuce wrap. Due to the spine running down the leaf you have support for your filling while eating. The leaves have the perfect width for wrapping and/or slicing.
I'll be making a variety of these wraps for Easter, serving them as appetizers. I plan on making those pictured above as well as adding tuna, egg salad and a several meats with cheese. Give these wraps a try and I bet you too will be saying "These are so good, so simple, so attractive and so healthy".

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!

Nice wraps Martha. Great idea to fill with eggs for a fresh appetizer on Easter.
