jalapeño poppers

I went to the other end of our house while these were baking and when I came back, whoa, was the air filled with jalapeño scent! Sounds a little overpowering, but if you like this kind of food, it was mouth-watering. Haha, think Scentsy has “Jalapeño” yet? :)

I left the stems on just so the filling didn’t go over all over the baking sheet, but a few of them spilled over a little anyway. It wasn’t bad. Next time, I might not fill them quite so over-full and also place them closer together to prop each other up.

Don’t skip the bread crumbs – it helps hold it all together and makes the best little crunch on top! I didn’t have any so I crushed up some mini toasts and that worked marvelously.

We decided this was a keeper recipe! Print it .

Oh, and p.s. we discovered they’re totally fine reheated in the microwave, but it was best when we would refrigerate the filling & peppers and then make fresh every time. Enjoy!

good ol’ chili

If you’re looking for a super simple chili recipe, this is for you.

It’s hearty!

It’s meaty!

It’s full of frijoles!

And just like many soups, it was just as tasty reheated.

I enjoy a variety of types of chili dishes – chicken, vegetarian, lighter, heartier… so I should share more recipes in the future…

But here is a classic! It’s easy to make (in a slow cooker) and great for a cold winter evening for all you not living on the Equator and in a different hemisphere than us. ;)

chicken enchiladas with salsa verde

Looking Back: Originally posted on Feb 11, 2011.

This was a scrumptious version of enchiladas our friends made us one night at their house. Glenda then shared the recipe with me (originally from Cooking Light magazine) and the rest is history!

A couple notes on it:
– I didn’t use a blender for the sauce so it was chunkier. Either way is good.
– The sauce doesn’t “drench” the enchiladas very much, so if you like it saucy, I’d double that part.

Serve it up with Mexican rice, black beans, lime chunks or whatever you like with this type of dish. Enjoy!

It makes me chuckle that I even posted this a couple years ago, but here it is – the easiest one-ingredient recipe ever!

If you want a more consistent color, cut off the crusts before processing. I didn’t want to waste…

I used this for a topping on a wonderful gluten-free tomato basil soup, but the ideas are quite endless.

For the recipe and a few different seasoning variations, .

So, this was one of my most popular posts of all time. It was even featured on another  and I just had a lot of response! That makes it the most fun – when you make people happy with food you’ve created. :)

We even kept a tally in the house with all friends & family that came to visit over the next few days. I was curious to see which was the favorite flavor of these six recipes I created. Number Six won by a landslide… though that didn’t stop people from gobbling up the others!

You can print the six recipes by . I kept the portions small so you can make a variety of flavors if you want!
