It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve done any real cooking. I admit, we’ve been doing a lot of heat and eat, or relying on leftovers. But the other night, I decided that needed to change. I’ve been struggling with a bit of a funk, and I’m finally climbing out of it. So I made these Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps to celebrate a real meal again.

I can’t take full credit for the idea…It was in my latest My Happy Plates email.

It’s actually one of the Paleo recipes, but obviously, this isn’t Paleo. What can I say? I could never commit to the Paleo diet, because I refuse to give up dairy. Or caffeine.

These are really good, albeit rather messy. My butter lettuce wasn’t cooperative when I tried to separate all the leaves. Still, they were tasty enough that I’ll be making them again.
