Jessica's Very Veggie Wrap

If you like this, this is a recipe that i made up and if you liked it maybe you could put it on your website. It is called Jessica's Very Veggie Wrap.

You need:

1 flour tortilla
1 large lettuce leaf (or lots of small little ones)
3 [shredded] carrots
1 tablespoon of ranch salad dressing. and walla.

Here are the procedures:

1: Place the tortilla on a cutting board. Spread the tortilla evenly with a knife. Place the lettuce leaf on top and press it down gently.

2: Place carrots in the grater and grate them over the lettuce

3: To roll up the tortilla, begin at 1 side and roll up the
tortilla tightly.

Enjoy! Makes 1 wrap

Helpful Hint:

If you would like to pack a wrap for your lunch for your school lunch,
roll it tightly in a peace of plastic wrap, then tick it into an insulated
lunch bag to keep it cold.

Please ad it to your website.

I love your website,
Jessica

Knife Advice for Claire

Dear Spatulatta,

can you suggest a good chopping knife for carrots? i am almost 11. my grandma won't let me use her knife because she says it's too dangerous!

Claire



Dear Claire,

Your grandmother is being cautious because she doesn't want you losing any of your fingers. Grandma has probably cut herself a few times and she want to spare you the pain. Ask her about it.

Carrots are tough. Anytime you have to cut carrots you have to use a sharp knife or a mandoline. But even a mandoline has a very sharp blade.

t's not the knife but how you use it. A lot of this has to do with what's called "fine motor skills" or how well you can coordinate your hands, your eyes and your thoughts. And that develops as you get older.

You need to learn how to hold the knife and position the vegetable so that your fingers are never in the line of cut. And actually a sharp knife is better than a dull one because it cuts cleanly and won't slip.

Is there a cooking school near you that gives knife skills lessons? It might be something to research. Try asking grandma if she would feel comfortable letting you use her knife if you had knife lessons. It might be something you'll have to save up for.

Once you learn the correct technique you'll prove to grandma that she needn't worry about you cutting carrots without cutting you fingers anymore.

Keep Cooking!
