Lettuce Wraps

This recipe came from my Pampered Chef cookbook but also found online here:

We just bought a new knife and my husband happily julienned the carrots for this recipe as well as cut the cucumber sliver thin.

This recipe was ok but I have had better.  Amy - a friend of mine sent me the best tasting lettuce wrap recipe.  :)   I also didn't like butter lettuce for this and think it would have tasted better using iceberg.

We served them with Heather's green onion cakes...also found here on this blog.

I've made her green onion cakes a few times always with great results...until this night.

I still don't know what I did wrong but the result was that we should have called these "rock cakes" and not green onion cakes.  I got to the point where I couldn't even eat them.  They tasted fine but truly were like gnawing on a rock.

Strangely enough the kids kept eating them and happily called them rock cakes.  They looked so hilarious trying to chew off a bite that I had to take their pictures:

I guess I need to learn to pay more attention when I cook...LOL
