S'More Bars

I was craving S'Mores, but we don't have a fire pit... so S'more Bars to the rescue! These were such a hit and Mitch is already asking for more!

I N G R E D I E N T S:

2/3 cup butter softened
1 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cup mini marshmallows divided
3 large sized Hershey bars broken into pieces
2 sleeves graham crackers broken into squares + 2-3 graham crackers broken into bits for top of cookies.

D I R E C T I O N S:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy in another bowl.
Add vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Slowly beat in flour mixture until just incorporated.
Fold in the milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips and 1 cup of marshmallows.
Lay out graham crackers on a large rimmed baking sheet leaving no gaps between them.
Place small scoops of cookie dough on the graham crackers, using an ice cream scoop and spread dough out a little by flattening with back side of scoop or spoon.
Bake for 3 minutes and using a scoop or spoon, spread the top of the dough lightly, so the chocolate and dough mixes together, and covers all of the graham crackers. Place back in oven for 2 minutes.

After 5 minutes of baking

Press Hershey pieces, 1/3 cup marshmallows. and 1/3 cup broken graham crackers on top.
Bake for 5-7 more minutes.
Cool cookie bars in pan.
Cut cookies into bars or squares.
Store at room temperature in a sealed container.

Makes approx. 24 bars.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

1/24/2018

We made this copycat PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wrap recipe on Monday and I'm already craving it again!

Since there's a very high chance we'll be having this delicious low carb dinner twice this week, I figured I should share it so that you can have it too!

This is a quick and easy recipe that can serve 4, but for just the 2 of us it made for a great lunch the next day.

I N G R E D I E N T S:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground chicken
1 tbsp minced garlic (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/2 tbsp red chili paste or sriracha (optional)
1 (8-oz) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 head butter lettuce (or pre-cleaned and packaged leaf lettuce - major time saver)

D I R E C T I O N S:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and red chili paste or sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.

We also made 1 cup of white sticky rice in addition to the chicken lettuce wraps! YUM!

Hope you enjoy :)
