    Sweetpotato, Sausage, and Apple Lettuce Wraps from Living Well Kitchen

    I'm kinda ready to start cooking soups and casseroles and other comfort foods, but the weather insists on taking a little bit longer to be in fall season temperatures than I'd sometimes like.

    I like to think that the weather helps my patience because I can be terribly impatient sometimes. So while I'd like to make soups and casseroles and the like, I'm still making lettuce wraps and salads.

    I'm totally ok with that though because I've found a way to mix the slightly warmer than desired temperatures outside with fall seasonal ingredients like sweet potatoes and apples.

    Sweet potato, Sausage, and Apple Lettuce Wraps to be exact, and they are flippin' fantastic.

    I used a regular pork sausage. Feel free to use turkey sausage or chicken sausage if desired.

    Not a fan of sausage? You can use cut up chicken or sliced mushrooms to make it vegetarian.

    These are full of fall flavor but slightly sweet thanks to the sweet potato and apple. I am obsessed with these!

    I love how easy it is to pack in veggies with lettuce wraps and since I'm always trying to get people to eat more veggies, this is a great way to do it.

    Happy Fall {even if it doesn't feel like it outside}!
