"I'm forever saving recipe sites in my 'favorites' and accidently clicked on this one this morning. I've yet to make it but the ingredients remind me of something similar we had at PF Changs in Florida. This recipe serves 8 as an appetizer. Prep and cook time are approximate."

These were very tasty and I had everything on hand except the lettuce suggested. I tried using romaine (silly me had the filling already made before she discovered she didn't have the right lettuce) but that didn't work so well. They were still good, but next time I'll make sure I have the right kind. :)
