PF Chang's- Yummy!
I recently had a HUGE craving for PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps. I googled it and came up with many different entries. I finally settled on one that I thought sounded the best and didn't sound too difficult. I made it last night for dinner and it was wonderful! Jim had never had them before and he liked them alot. It definatly satisfied my craving and I even have a little left over for lunch today. I have included the recipe at the end of this post. If anyone tries it, let me know what you think. Happy eating!!

Sounds yummy! That is one of my favorite things to eat at PF changs and Pei Wei. Maybe I'll try and make them one day or maybe I'll just suggest that for our next dinner date, that sounds easier. hehehe
Thanks for the recipe.
I'm impressed! Usually I am very inpatient if I am craving something like that & I will just go buy it. That is a really good idea to google the receipe! I have found a few good recipes just googling for healthy dinners but nothing specific. Anyway, thanks for the recipe! I'll have to try it sometime!:)
You made them! (I think I was talking to you when you were)Thanks for the recipe..now we will have to try them as well.
I LOVE finding recipes I enjoy in restaurants. I searched and searched for Chipotle's Quacamole, and I finally found it. It's fantastic!!! Was the site you found the PF Chang recipes on a "copycat" site with other restaurant's stuff? If so, what was the site address?
Trac,
The recipe copycat site was recipezaar. Can't wait to see you all next week.
Cool, thanks! I LOVE RecipeZaar!
