Chinese Beef Lettuce Cups

Chinese Beef Lettuce Cups

My guilty pleasure is Asian cuisine. More specifically, Chinese takeout. Back when we lived in Atlanta, I kept the local Chinese restaurant very busy, especially after the twins were born. I ordered so often that the delivery guy began to comment on how big the kids were getting and would notice when I didn't call in an order for a while. They even recognized my voice when I ...

Parmesan Popcorn

Parmesan Popcorn from EatinontheCheap.com

It's been forever since I have posted recipes but in that time I have successfully gotten my two five year olds started in kindergarten.
