Guys.

It’s finally happening.

I’m moving into my studio.

Also known as #DDHQ.

You know.

Damn Delicious Headquarters.

I’m scrambling back and forth moving things in.

Cleaning. Organizing. Making 83717 trips to IKEA. You know the drill.

I also make a few trips out there just for the meatballs.

But before my next IKEA trip, I had to share these lettuce wraps.

My all-time favorite lettuce wraps, really.

Although these PF Chang’s one comes to a close second.

This is my fave though because you can just eat the leftover meat as is – over a bowl of rice, a salad, or by itself.

But the lettuce wrap combo is light and refreshing.

And it also makes for a perfect lunch sack.

I mean, I might just pack this alongside to eat with my IKEA meatballs.

Just saying.
