Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps


We made these easy and delicious chicken cashew lettuce wraps the other night. The cashews add a great crunch to this flavorful dish. They took only about 20 minutes, we doubled the recipe and it made about 12 wraps. (Below is the doubled recipe, cut in half if you are looking to make less wraps).

Ingredients for the Filling
6 chicken breasts diced
1 head of iceberg lettuce
3 tbsp olive oil (or oil of choice)
1 cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp soy sauce
1/3 c cashews, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for Stir Fry Sauce
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp sesame oil
*we made an additional half batch of this to pour over the wraps

Organizing with Style

Some people might tell me that I am anally organized...and I think I would have to agree with them. But now I can be organized and stylish! Look at these cute file folders that my mom got me from Hobby Lobby that I use at work and home!

Slice of Heaven


I had a slice of Heaven the other day at Grinders on 18th St between Oak and Cherry. This slice was called Goldberg "Phats", and it was amazing! Pesto sauce, cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers, not to mention the crispy thin crust that makes all of Grinders' pizzas to die for. This is a pizza that I definitely need to try at home!

Grinders, featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, serves up specialty New York-style pizzas, Philly cheese steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads and wings.
