Asian Lettuce Wraps

September 19, 2011 by Jaida Leave a Comment

A group of my co-workers decided a couple of weeks ago that it would be fun to do a crock-pot meal swap during lunch one day. Maybe if we all cooked some cooler weather food, the cooler weather would come. Not likely, but worth a shot! The idea was that we would each prepare a crock-pot meal at home, then bring it in to work to share with each other. I must say that it turned out great and we had a nice collection of dishes!! I brought these Asian Lettuce Wraps and the other girls brought: Pot Roast, Swiss Steak, Chicken Stroganoff, and a Cheese & Artichoke Dip. We each had a little sample of each dish and it was plenty to fill us up! The lettuce wraps were a huge hit!! I wonder what our next inspired swap will be??

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
