RECIPE: The River Wrap

When I was growing up, my mother had a lot of “motherly quotes” she would refer to in fitting situations. One of her more frequently used sayings has a deeper meaning and life message, but it can most certainly be applied to this issue of GLS!

It is a great message that can apply to a person’s self worth, the interior comforts of your boat’s quarters, or even the contents of a delicious healthy wrap! What is this quote that would accurately relate to all random things just mentioned?

“IT’S WHAT’S ON THE INSIDE THAT MATTERS.”

Obviously, this quote is meant to bring awareness to our inner qualities, as opposed to our external qualities/appearance, which I feel is a wise way to think about others around us and in our lives.

As a cabin cruiser owner, this quote could also apply to how you feel about your vessel. The need to feel comfortable spending time in your cabin is very important to a captain and crew. A soft couch, an oscillating fan, a cold fridge… all the comforts of your cruiser’s insides will enhance your boating experience.

As for this quote relating to a recipe for a healthy wrap? Stuffing a wrap with bright, fresh veggies, smooth flavorful hummus, and robust balsamic, not only makes for a delicious lunch, it makes for an extremely healthy one that’s contained all in one wrap. After all, my mother is right, its what’s on the inside that matters!

The River Wrap

Serves 1 crew member

Stock your galley with:

1 tomato flavored wrap
Your favorite hummus
Fresh sprouts (found in the produce isle)
1 beefsteak tomato
2 thinly sliced pieces of Swiss cheese
A sprinkle of thinly cut red onion
Balsamic dressing

Instructions:

Start by adding a thin layer of hummus to your warp. Sprinkle on the fresh sprouts and onions; add your sliced beefsteak tomatoes and Swiss cheese (my favorite). Top all with a drizzle of that Balsamic dressing and, to make sure all that goodness stays inside the wrap, loosely roll. Cut in half and enjoy!
