Ground Beef Asian Lettuce Wraps

Image
Although Instagram voted "no" for this to be a food blog recipe and I only took one photo, I decided to share anyway because these Ground Beef Asian Lettuce Wraps were so delicious. The original recipe that I used is from The Cookie Rookie HERE  for PF Changs Lettuce Wraps. I did change a few things including ground beef in place of chicken, removed the sriracha, used onion powder instead of diced onion, regular lettuce in place of butter lettuce, garlic powder instead of minced garlic, ground ginger in place of grated ginger, and no water chestnuts.  Ingredients: 1/4 cup hoisin sauce 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 tsp cornstarch 2 tsp sesame oil 1 pound ground beef (we have been using 93/7) 2 tbsp onion powder 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp ground ginger green onions, to top 1 head of lettuce for serving Directions: Whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and cornstarch. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame

Dream Blog 2024

This blog was created for a look back on my dreams, my actual dreams. I have been keeping track of my dreams since 2015 and remember a lot of them. Here is a list of past dreams: Dreams 2015-2018 Dreams 2019 Dreams 2020 Dreams 2021 Dreams 2022 and 2023 Below are my dreams in 2024: January 14 I had a dream that Kevin and I went to this bar/club and I think it was New Year's. We were sitting at a table and this guy gets up, clearly drunk, and says "I'm out" and we were hoping he meant that he was going out of the room, not actually driving. Well, lo and behind, I actually found his keys a little bit later on and was trying to figure out who to give them to. I decided on giving them to the front desk person, and not actually him. The next day I received a text from the guy (not sure how he got my number) and he had taken maybe 4 photos of me the night before so he sent those to me. I then went to the car to show Kevin and he had just put away a bottle of alcohol. I told

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I
