I have a not-so-secret obsession with chicken thighs. I mean, why use chicken breasts when these moist, tender little nuggets exist?

Asian Chicken Lettuce Boats with Thai Peanut Sauce
Okay, so maybe this isn’t the best thing to make for say, the first few dates with your new flame… but man, these are good. Crunchy, spicy, saucy and just a tad bit messy. At least it was for me! Somehow my sous chef managed to have a perfectly clean plate and hands. And here…

WARNING: This recipe requires a serious appetite. Just imagine: Bacon. Cheese. Pouring out. Did someone say bacon? Yum. My sous chef insists I cook entirely too much with bacon but I simply cannot part ways with its deliciousness. So much so, that my wine might feel like I’m having an affair. Not to mention my…
