Anna's Lettuce Wraps

Book club was awesomely delicious last week thanks to Anna's lettuce wraps. I know a lot of you have been begging for the recipe, so here it is! You will need:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup water chestnuts
2 boneless chicken breasts

2/3 cup diced mushrooms
3 tablespoons chopped onion

1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 head iceberg lettuce

Stir Fry Sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar

Lettuce Wrap Sauce

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup water
2
tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/8
teaspoon sesame oil

Tie on your apron. Make Lettuce Wrap Sauce and set in fridge to chill. Make Stir Fry Sauce and set aside. In a large skillet or wok heat olive oil on high. Saute chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken and mince after it has cooled. Add all chopped vegetables and garlic to hot skillet and stir fry for a few minutes. Then add chicken and stir fry sauce. Saute for two more minutes, then serve on lettuce leaves with Lettuce Wrap Sauce. Happy eating!

New Moon/Eclipse

Hello cupcakes! Our Sweet Treats Book Club selection for the month of April is actually a two-for-one. The club voted, and it was unanimous: New Moon and Eclipse are our next books up for discussion. Everyone liked Twilight so well, I guess we decided to keep going with the Stephenie Meyer trilogy. Hey, I'm not complaining! So get cracking on your reading ladies, and I will let everyone know when our April meeting will be held.

*Feeling ambitious? Our May book club selection will be
The Eyre Affair by best-selling author Jasper Fforde. Hope to see y'all there!

book club takes off

Hello cupcakes! I'm here to announce the launch of my new book club: Sweet Treats! Having been a member of other people's literary groups, I decided to start my own, just for fun. Our first meeting will be at my home on Thursday, March 13th at 7:00 PM. We will be discussing the wildly popular book, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (in case you've been living under a rock). If you have, or have not read the book, please join us for a lively discussion, and of course some sort of delicious sugary confection. Please e-mail or call me for directions and details. We would love to have you! Sincerely, Cupcake Chowder.

P.S. Please come prepared with ideas for next month's book selection.
