Asian Lettuce Cups. This is one of my favourite dinners.   I love all the different textures – Cold crisp lettuce leaves, hot seasoned pork   bean sprouts,   cilantro, toasted sesame seeds and  the  spicy hot sauce.    Print Recipe Asian Lettuce Cups Use this as an outline.

  Since it was a work day for me  dinner had to be something simple. The one tradition we have is Moe’s Birthday “dessert” is always something with strawberries and since the easiest “Strawberry” dessert to make is strawberry shortcake that was what I went with. The shortcakes went into the oven minutes after I…
