PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps

While I've never actually eaten at PF Chang's, if their lettuce wraps are this delicious I might have to stop by and check out the rest of the menu.

I made this for a quick meal on a weeknight and it did not disappoint. You know it's good when you set it on the dinner table, turn around to grab something else and it's almost all gone. I definitely did not make enough for the 3 of us, so if you have a family of 3+, I would suggest doubling this recipe, it's that good.

 Ingredients:

  • 1T olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (found in the Asian isle at Safeway)
  • 2T soy sauce
  • 1T rice wine vinegar
  • 1T freshly grated ginger
  • 1T sriracha
  • 1 8oz can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 head butter lettuce
Lets WRAP this up (pun intended):
  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned; drain excess fat. 
  2. Stir in garlic, onion, hoison, soy, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in chestuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Spoon several tablespoons of the mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf and put that delicious concoction in your mouth!


Like I said, it wont last long on the table so make sure you make enough for the whole family! It's important you do the fresh ginger too, makes a world of difference in the flavor! You'll love this recipe, it'll show up on your menu more than once in a month I promise you that! 

Don't forget to subscribe and tell me what you think! This is one of my new favorites!

Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix

Lately I have been eating the HECK out of muddy buddies! Sadly, I can finish a whole bag to myself, no problem. So I figured instead of me always going to the store and buying bags upon bags of muddy buddies, I would figure out a way to make them from home. This little mix is SO much better, only because it has more ingredients in it. So easy and it makes a TON of it! Great fall colors incorporated too, so it'll be fun to make for the kids to pack in their lunch as a "happy going back to school" snack! I hope you LOVE this as much as I do! Crunchy Peanut Butter Mix Ingredients - 4 c golden grahams cereal - 2 c coca puffs cereal - 2 c pretzel stucks - 1 c reeses pieces - 1 c dry-roasted panuts - 10 oz white chocolate baking bars or squares, chopped - 2 T butter - 1/2 c powdered sugar In a large bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, peanut butter candies and peanuts; set aside. In a 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave white chocolate and butter uncovered for 1 m...

Parmesan Zucchini and Corn

Here we are getting into the fall months and all we want to do is spend our time bundled up in a blanket on the couch with a cup of tea and the Food Network channel on all day...oh wait, maybe that's just me. I ventured out yesterday from my warm, cozy home and went to my cousin's game night, where we played Farkle (such a fun dice game!) and Cards Against Humanity (always a good laugh with this game). It was an appetizer and snack food kind of night, and I knew my sister was coming who just so happens to be a Vegetarian! So I figured I'd cater towards her just in case there wasn't a lot of other options for food (we are a meat loving family). This is so quick to throw together, less than 15 minutes with prep time! And, IT'S DELICIOUS! Kids and adults alike will love this yummy side dish. Bring it as an appetizer or just make it as a side for dinner! Ingredients: 2T olive oil 2 cloves minced garlic 4 zucchini, diced (it's fall, so squash is winding...
