It's not all doom and gloom out there.....let's eat!
Ingredients:
10 large jalapeño peppers
1 lb bacon, sliced
8 oz cream cheese, warmed
Instructions:
Cut peppers vertically and remove seeds and stems.
If you want a less spicy version, place peppers on a buttered cookie sheet and cook at 425° F for 15-20 minutes. If you want low spice, cook until the peppers are soft instead of rigid. Adding a little butter in each pepper makes them come out sweeter.
Stuff peppers with cream cheese, then wrap each with bacon and set it on the loose end of the bacon wrap (this way, you avoid using toothpicks).
Cook peppers at 425° F for 15-20 minutes; the time will vary depending on the convection patterns of your oven, so you need to cook until the bacon is done, which is usually about fifteen minutes but may vary.
Remove, cool and serve.
A personal update: I am back in Florida after being in NJ for over a month - its been grueling and sad --- It breaks my heart seeing my Mother hanging on to life - she is a fighter - but I see the fight slowly fading away.
---I came back to Florida to pack up my house --- this too makes me sad as I have only been here for little over a year --- I worked so hard to get here - (when my kids all graduated from college and moving into the stages of their adult lives ....) ... Florida was going to be the start of my second part of life....
----I t was too much trying to keep up with the expenses of having a home I wasn't and wouldn't be living in until my Mother is ready to be in the arms of God.... plus I have been unable to work - as I have been bouncing back and fourth caring for my Mother...
----I will stay in NJ until the time comes - but will return to Florida - as I love this state ---- and love the weather.....Florida makes me happy !!!!
---Many things will be changing and these were not the changes I was planning on... I pray everyday for Gods strength...... Thank you for letting me share....
