Foodie Fun: Stuffed Jalapenos wrapped in BACON

For Father’s Day, my aunt made jalapenos stuffed with sharp cheddar and wrapped in bacon. They were tiny little things, but they were delicious!

So, of course, being the impulse buyer that I am, when I came home from vacation and went produce shopping, I had to pick up the pack of 6 mammoth jalapenos for 86 cents at Aldi. I both love and hate Aldi, but that’s a story for another time.

So here’s tiny little me with six giant jalapenos.

Okay, so I only made 3 of them, and then I still couldn’t eat it all. I don’t know that I want to try reheating them…

Anyway, on to the part you’re actually here for.

Foodie Fun: Brie Soup

I recently learned that I can’t walk out of a grocery store without buying some sort of cheese. The last time I went, I ended up with an 8 oz wheel of Brie. Now I love Brie, especially on crackers. But even I get tired of cheese and crackers. So, I hopped on AllRecipes to see what else I could do with it. Apparently plenty, but the one that caught my eye was Brie soup. Yum.

But as I was cooking the recipe (for three servings instead of six) I found myself doing something unusual. I was arguing with the recipe. Things were getting hostile.

Foodie Fun: Cheesy Chicken and Rice

One of my favorite things to cook (ever) are one dish meals. I found a recipe for Cheesy Chicken Skillet in a Betty Crocker cookbook (2006) in the 20 minutes or less category. I’ve never actually timed it, so I’m not sure if it really takes less than 20 minutes, but I do know that it’s a really easy recipe.

But, as with many things that I cook multiple times over the course of a couple years, I don’t actually follow the recipe anymore. So, that recipe was the inspiration, but here’s how I do it now.
