asian lettuce wraps with stir fried sugar snap peas
well last night i was driving home and i was thinking about dinner.. i had planned on making florentine meatballs from my freind bobbi's site here but.. as i was driving i decided i wasn't in the mood for meatballs or spinach.. so before i left for the gym i got on line and found these asian wraps and stir fried sugar snap peas here at kalyns kitchen.. i, of course, didn't follow the recipe exactly.. cause, well i can't, i don't know why, i just can't.. i will tell you a litlte secret... i have a hard time following my own recipe the next time i go to make something.. so while the recipe inspired me i did chang it a bit.. and even though the picture (which by the way doesn't do these babies justice.. they aren't very photogenic) shows them as lettuce wraps/cups we actually ate them in a bowl.. i put the sugar snap peas (umm yumm) in the bottom then chopped romaine lettuce then the meat.. kinda like a terriyaki bowl.. of sorts.
