Baked Jalapeno Poppers

I love game day! Don't fool yourself, its not because I'm a huge football fan. I love game day because of the food....that's really it. Ok...and the beer too....and hanging out with friends. Really, I like everything about game day except the game...hahah.  I'm one of those people that pretend to like sports, but have no idea of whats going on. For example, yesterday I was trying to prove to my brother that I liked football and I told him that touchdowns were 12 points. He laughed at me. For those of you who are as football stupid as me..touchdowns are actually 6 points...oops.

Whether you are a football fan or not, here is an amazing and easy recipe for jalopeno poppers. They are delicious! The best part is that there is no messy breading involved. All you have to do is throw them in the oven and bake them. Stuffing the peppers can be a little tedious, so you can even stuff the peppers a day before the game.

Ingredients:

• 18 fresh jalapenos (the recipe will actually make 36 jalapeno poppers because you'll be cutting the jalapenos in half)
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
• 2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro

Recipe:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut jalopenos in half, and remove all the seeds and veins. This is where all the heat is so make sure you clean them out really well.
• Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, onion, and cilantro.
• Spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray.
• Stuff each jalopeno with the cream cheese mixture and place on baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 mins.

Jalopeno Popper Wonton Pockets

Today was one of those days where I was craving food ALL DAY LONG. Its probably because I spent most of the day on pinterest. Note to self: Pinterest is always a bad idea when you're hungry.

I found the following recipe and altered it a little bit to make it more like a jalopeno popper pocket. It's delicious!! In the near future, I think I may try the same technique and make homemade crab rangoons with it.

This recipe makes 8 wontons.

Spicy Jalapeno Margarita

I have over 10,000 views!!!! In fact, I have 10,277 to be exact! I know that a lot of bloggers might think that its nothing, but I'm really proud that people are liking my blog and reading it! I remember the day I started my blog and being excited that 5 people had looked at it never mind 10,000. Thank you to all my subscribers and readers. To celebrate, I decided to post another margarita recipe. We all know that you can't have a true celebration without some margaritas!

This margarita has a little kick to it! It's made with jalapeno vodka!! I originally had this spicy margarita when we were in Las Vegas at Senor Frogs. You can see my Las Vegas post here. I loved it so much that I was planning on making my own jalapeno vodka by infusing it. Well, I didn't even have to! I was in the liquor store with my friend Sarah, and she pointed Stoli jalapeno vodka out to me. She knows I love my spicy stuff! I was SO excited that she found it! Its hard to describe, but it tastes a little peppery and spicy. Its delicious with margarita mix, orange juice, or tomato juice. I would even drink it on the rocks with seltzer and lime.

This recipe is really simple because I cheated slightly and used a margarita mix already premixed with tequila. I used Jose Cuervo Light Margarita mix. I tend to like the light mixers better because they are less sugary.

Ingredients:

• Jose Cuervo Light Margarita Mix
• Stoli Jalapeno Vodka
• Salt and Lime for garnish

Recipe:

• Rim a glass with salt, and fill with ice.
• Pour in two shots of vodka.
• Fill the rest of the glass with margarita mix.
