I promised a couple recipes from my last post. So here ya go, two easy-peasy recipes for you to try out.
I almost always end up doing an appetizer theme for small get togethers - they are fun, easy to whip up, and pretty to arrange on various platters and serving-ware.
1. Jalapeno Poppers
I think my husband loves these more than he loves me.
And he's only tried the reduced fat, 'healthier' version! Ha. Ha. Wait...am I insulting myself?
What you need...
Fresh Jalapenos
Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
Turkey or Vegetarian Bacon
1. Cut jalapenos lengthwise and seed
2. Stuff desired amount of cream cheese in each half
3. Wrap with bacon or just place a small slice on top
4. Bake at 375 degrees for around 25 minutes
Caramel-filled Cupcakes
This is the story about how this (unhealthy) 'recipe' was born...
A few weeks ago I was making cupcakes for a BBQ and I didn't bake them long enough. When I went to frost them (after the oven was completely cool and people were going to arrive in 15 minutes), the middles were not baked at all- pure batter. How did I not notice this when taking them out of the oven?! In a panic mode, I spooned out the middles... and sat staring at the stupid cupcakes. I rummaged through the fridge, grabbed caramel sauce, and just dumped it in the empty middles.
Long story short, everyone was enjoyed these cupcakes...like...A LOT! A friend that was at the BBQ even asked me to make them again for her party. I'd say it's a pretty good mistake!
What you need:
Cupcake mix or recipe (I admit it, I used a box mix!)
Caramel Sauce
Frosting
1. Bake Cupcakes according to directions
2. Spoon out a teeny tiny bit of the middle
3. Poor in caramel sauce
4. Frost
Really? Did I just write a recipe for that?
Well there you are...two of the easiest recipes that you didn't need recipes for because you probably could have figured out on your own.
After you make them, let me know how they turn out!
