Heaven help me, but the little people don’t have school today so that means lots of boys over. I have to say it is fun having boys, but it is loud and crazy especially when there are about 12. They are all so cute and funny and so polite. I really think boys are more polite than girls are in the teen years. Any boy that walks in my house always says, “Hi Mrs. Hood” or “thanks for having me”. I mean, awe…

I do love having a house full of kids, but these little buggers can EAT. I normally just serve them microwaved Bagel Bites (gross, by the way) or corny dogs or pizza. However, I thought I would try and earn a sticker today and make them a fun snack. Now we eat these for dinner, but they are perfect for an afternoon snack or party.

I used to make these chicken lettuce wraps in the crock pot, but I kept forgetting to start 100 hours in advance so I tweaked it a bit. Let me know your thoughts.
