What makes these Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps a great summer recipe?

Warm weather for us means lighter food, which is why I love lettuce wraps this time of year. You don't lose out on any of the flavor and you also don't have that heavy feeling after dinner.  

We always seem to be running out the door once the nice weather hits. Especially since we threw a puppy into the mix. Now, we're running out to take him on walks and train him. It's a little like having a newborn except that they can be much more high strung and get into things.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

FAQs:

What type of Lettuce is best for making lettuce wraps?

The Bibb lettuce leaves work best for making lettuce wraps. They are sturdy enough to hold the filling and do not wilt away with warm additions of meat or sauce.

How to prevent lettuce wraps from getting soggy?

We recommend you do not make ahead the lettuce wraps and instead assemble them fresh and serve them right away to avoid soggy texture.

    Toyota already has a partnership with Uber Technologies Inc , by means of which the automaker leases autos to Uber
    drivers, and plans to work with the ride-hailing service to speed up mobile

    Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple,
    yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that
    "perfect balance" between usability and
    visual appearance. I must say that you've done a great job with this.

    Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Firefox. Superb Blog! http://www.yahoo.net

      Another Turkish JERK!! Sad that they even got it. Did he think the humane way to get rid of it was to shoot it? That man is a real ass. I hope he looses all his customers and his business!!
