I have been craving lettuce wraps.

For over a month.

Ever since my friend and I had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.

She got their famous lettuce wraps, and I got, well, something else.

Since then, I all could think about was lettuce wraps.

Crisp and refreshing, sauce run down your arm, lettuce wraps.

I just couldn’t take it any longer and had to have those darn lettuce wraps.

So I made them.

For dinner.

And we ate them.

And loved them.

Even my husband who was so against the lettuce wraps kept going back for more!

I loved that these lettuce wraps had your usual ingredients, like uh lettuce, oh and chicken, and an Asian inspired sauce.

But what made these special, downright unique was the addition of cherries to the mix. This made these crisp, refreshing lettuce wraps outstanding!

Craving fulfilled!
