Chicken Lettuce Wraps

/ mikeysinmykitchen / 2 Comments

Have you ever had the lettuce wraps at P.F. Changs?

You should try them.

They are delish/my favorite.

These wraps I have for you today are a pretty close second!

I made these for Mikey this week.

He kept mentioning how they made for such a healthy dinner.  He also said that they were super tasty and that I was the best wife ever.

Then he realized how many dishes there were and immediately changed his mind.

I use a lot of dishes when I’m cooking in a hurry.

Mikey is my dishwasher. He’s incredible like that.

Jambalaya

My brother in law, Willie, being the gentle, quiet soul that he is…decided it would be fun to force me to eat a snail. 15 minutes later (all the while holding back tears) I opened my mouth and allowed him to force feed me the snail. I swallowed it whole and prayed I would be allergic (so this whole, “hey, lets make Bethany eat it” joke could end forever)…

Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

Yum

I guess a trend is emerging. Oreo Cookies. I love Oreo’s and think they make everything better.

Therefore, mini cheesecakes with an actual WHOLE Oreo crust.

These are not something you eat on a first date. Or at a work party. Or any party really.

I made these for a party. My brother-in-laws 30th Birthday bash.  I guess I am a bit of a jerk for serving these at a party. But they are soooooo good and everyone loved them, so it really doesnt matter. They probably made for some awkward conversation/judgment.

You know why, right?
