Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Image
Looking for an easy, light lunch to make during the week! Look no further! These Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are my favorite quick & healthy lunch! Made with canned chicken, olive oil mayo, grapes, cucumbers, carrots and romaine lettuce. These wraps are super low carb and totally delicious! Make it with me. Growing up (and even still today) I lived on Chicken Salad! It was my very favorite flavor of sandwich! I always took them in my sack lunch to school. I was raised on canned chicken, so I've never looked at it as weird. I know some people are timid when it comes to canned chicken but you shouldn't be!  It's a great, easy source of protein! I have to dedicate this recipe to my little cousin Oakley. She is 7 and she has so much personality. She catches on very quick and is very aware of the world around her. One day, I asked her what she wanted for lunch. She told me that she doesn't eat Carbs. I had to laugh because I'm sure she's heard ...

Image
Most of us will never get to live in an expensive, multi-million dollar house. Still, there’s a certain degree of delight and excitement that we feel in ogling the mansions, palaces, and penthouses owned by the fabulously rich. Many of the world’s priciest private real estate properties feature gorgeous (and sometimes tacky) architecture, state-of-the-art amenities, and a name – you know a house is badass when it has its own name. To further whet your imagination, here’s a list of ten of the world’s most expensive houses. 1. Antilia The most expensive house in the world as of 2013 is the Antilia, a ‘odern home located in the urban neighborhood of Mumbai, India. It is the residence of Mukesh Ambani, the fifth richest man in the entire planet. This 27-story palace is said to cost a jaw-dropping $1 billion! Its architecture follows the philosophy of “Vastu Shastra,” making the mansion a gateway of positive energy. The Antilia features everything any person could want in a home: a ballro...

LOLONG, THE WORLD'S LARGEST CROCODILE IN CAPTIVITY

Image
When Guinness World Records first learned of the existence of Lolong, a massive saltwater crocodile in the Agusan del Sur Province of Mindanao, Philippines, the current longest crocodile in captivity was Cassius, a 5.48-metre giant being cared for at Marineland Melanesia on Green Island, off the coast of Cairns in Queensland, Australia. Lolong had just been caught and was rumoured to be over six metres long. Experts recommended that in order for a crocodile to be accepted as living healthily in captivity, there should be a three to six month bedding in period to ensure the creature reacts well to its new surroundings. Lolong remained in good health for this period, and was measured at 6.17 metres and recognised as the new largest crocodile in captivity in late 2011 - as documented by National Geographic Wild's program Monster Croc Hunt. So it was with great sadness that staff at Guinness World Records received news of Lolong's death, at an estimated age of 50, on Februar...

The cars on this list, though, are a little different. Take the gorgeous new Ferrari LaFerrari .

Let’s face it; we may never see one of these cars in the flesh – let alone own one – but that’s true of the Mona Lisa, too. And that doesn’t stop people traveling around the world to see her. These cars are more than just insane pieces of engineering capable of transporting you to 60 mph faster than lightning striking a cheetah; they are cultural treasures. Just a heads up, we’ve excluded cl...
