Lettuce Wraps with Spiced Pork

Finally, I had some time to cook. The Husband and I have been on a health kick lately so todays recipe is super healthy. We got it from the Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook and I was very pleased. In the book, it has a sauce that goes with it but for the sake of saving time I skipped the sauce.
