Tummy Tuck Thursday Recipe

Where is Tummy Tuck Thursday? Is my husband slacking on the job...geesh, who would do that? Lamesauce!
What do you mean I haven't posted in a month? That's ridiculous...

Here is this week's Tummy Tuck Thursday Recipe. At least SOMEONE is living up to their responsibilities. For reals though, I would have blogged on Meaningful Monday but I was too busy calling 911 to get my kids out of the car that I locked them in with the keys. Yeah, that happened.

So, for your dining pleasure, I present to you Totally Thai Lettuce Cups. Pros: inexpensive, easy, delicious Cons: you might never want to eat anything else again. you've been warned.
**this recipe feeds two adults comfortably, you can increase as needed
Ingredients:
6 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce (I use romaine)
6oz. boneless skinless chicken breast
1 large cucumber peeled and chopped
4 green onions chopped
4 TBS. shredded carrot (about 1 large carrot)
3 TBS. thai peanut dressing or sauce
4 TBS. seasoned rice vinegar
2 TBS. chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 tsp garlic powder (I use 1 tsp. fresh chopped garlic)
red pepper flakes (I leave these out...have I mentioned that spicy food is my arch nemesis?)
optional garnish: lime wedges, sesame seeds, peanuts (I never use these things. Garnishes are for rich people.)

Directions:
In a bowl combine cucumber, green onion, carrot, cilantro, red pepper flakes and vinegar--mix well and keep in the fridge until ready to use
Chop up your chicken (I try to make it super small) and cook with garlic powder in a pan at medium high heat until cooked
Toss chicken with peanut sauce
To assemble just layer your veggie mix and your chicken in the lettuce cup

**if you need more of a filler, you can add some jasmine rice, though it will add calories of course
Add your garnish and you are good to go. Chomp! Chomp!
