Chicken Lettuce Wraps – Freezer Cooking Recipe
The filling for these lettuce wraps is perfect for making ahead and freezing. I see this becoming one of my vacation food recipes.
The chicken is seasoned with garlic, soy sauce and some vinegar. Water chestnuts and green onions add to the flavors. I based the recipe on Spicy Garlic Chicken Pizza, another winning freezer recipe.
The chicken filling would also be great served over rice, but we liked the crunch of the lettuce.
Any recipe that calls for cutting raw chicken will require a sharp knife. My favorite knife comes from Rada Cutlery. It’s called Cook’s Knife and it costs just $9.20. Frugal and sharp – I love it!

Asian Salmon on the Grill
Dinner time was creeping up on me and I had no plan. Only four of us would be home on that night. Usually, when Jim is gone we have pancakes but that didn’t sound good. I wanted something fast and easy, but different. Inspiration came from one bag of salmon fillets in the freezer, which isn’t enough for 6 of us, but perfect for 4. When I spied the bottle of sesame seed oil in the pantry, I knew I was on to something good.
I decided to grill the salmon in foil packets with a simple, flavorful sauce made with soy sauce and sesame seed oil.
Tropical Salad
This salad was perfect with the Hawaiian Grilled Chicken. It’s full of pineapple, green onions, macadamia nuts, bacon…Yum! I found the recipe on Bethany’s blog, For the Love of Grub. I made the salad on Saturday, so we could eat it Sunday after church. I mixed the dressing up, but did not add it until right before serving. [Read more…] about Tropical Salad
