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!

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious.  I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth.  Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what a "no bake" was until a friend of mine told me his favorite cookies were no bakes (this was around Christmas time when I go cookie crazy!). So I looked up a recipe and ended up falling in LOVE with them. They're so quick to make. This recipe here took me (start to finish) 20 minutes to do. So if you want something sweet and have nothing in the pantry to snack on, just whip these up super quick (because you should have everything you need already at home!) and enjoy! No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: - 2 cups sugar - 1/4 cup margarine - 1/2 cup milk - 1 cup peanut butter - 1t vanilla - 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned) In a large saucepan, mix sugar, margarine and milk; bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted; stir in oats. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls on...
