Have you ever skimmed a recipe and decided to make it for dinner, only to realize you didn't read it close enough which sort of ruins your brilliant plans? Well that happened to me today. I planned to make lettuce wraps for dinner and looked up recipes for a side dish. I found this Coconut Brown Rice recipe from Skinny Taste that looked perfect, so I added it to the menu. I went to start dinner around 8, figuring everything would be ready around 8:30 when my sister got home from class. Then I actually read the recipe and realized the rice was going to take close to an hour. Whaaaat! Obviously I don't make rice very often. Needless to say, we didn't eat until like 9:30. Oh well, this meal was worth it!
I made Sriracha Beef Lettuce Wraps from Kayln's Kitchen. This part of the meal came together super fast. The wraps were the perfect amount of spicy and I loved the flavor from the cilantro. I served them with the coconut rice, which came out beautifully, and some steamed edamame.
