Nana's In the Kitchen Oh No....... JALEPENO POPPERS MORALES STYLE!!!

 First I went to my local farmers market and looked for the prettiest Jalapenos I could find. They smelled good, they were crisp, fresh and when I cut the tops off my eyes burned, just the way we like them nice and hot.... I had found Jalapenos wrapped in bacon stuffed with cheese at a Meat Market store and bought only about six because they were $2 a piece, I was disappointed they were not even spicy.

Anyhow back to my Poppers I carefully remove every seed from the pepper or Chile (in Spanish) after I washed out the pepper making sure all seeds removed (this is important for health reasons) this is what my Jalapeno looks like after I have removed and cleaned out the inside. I have posted a few pictures of my Peppers cleaned and ready for stuffing.

 I am starting my own garden of Jalapenos and other Veggies I use so that I will get the full nutritional value. I trying to use organic items. I am also learning to eat Vegan so I will be posting dishes I like and would love to share with other baby Vegans....lol.. and today I ate two hot dogs and there is bacon on these Jalapenos baby steps baby steps.., I have seen Turkey bacon and I am going to post it so you can see how it looks and it you would like to try it as I said baby steps to a vegan diet, I also seen some Tofu something or other I am going to try to  wrap the Jalapeno and the stuffing qill be with either tofu or soy cheese but to find one that melts any suggestions? Any are welcomed! Anyhow back to my nice beautiful Jalapeno peppers they look so pretty had to take a few picture so them.

 When I stuff them I found if I slice down almost to the middle, it is easier to stuff and you can put more cheese in, You want to but thin bacon I found Great Value from Walmart is the best to use if you like the bacon with black pepper you can pepper your Jalapeno after you have wrapped it in bacon use One and one half bacon slices per Jalapeno if using the large Peppers,
 if using Medium or small then wrap in on thinly sliced piece.
Use tooth picks to hold the bacon on the pepper and to hold the pepper closed after being stuff with cheese. You can use any cheese you like I used Monterrey Jack Cheese here, I would love to try some sharp cheddar.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 Once you get your Jalapeno wrapped you can roll in seasonings of your choice. I am going to try adding some lemon and slice so to garnish next time.



My mom would use cast Iron skillets in our Kitchen I just recently started using them again. She is right the food is different it tastes better as she would say in the cast iron skillet. If taken care of these pans (your must oil after washing and drying avoiding any rust) can help with Iron for those who are Anemic. I don't know how it may be a wise tale who knows...lol.

Any how I have a picture of all the ingredients used to make these Jalapeno Poppers, I also gave you some ideas to try. I am going to be posting more meals,  finger foods and more.... Nana is expanding her horizons getting my life back. Cancer Lost God won so we are getting our cook on...lol... I love being crazy, kooky and funny life is to short to be serious. I want to be remembered long after I am gone. God is Good. Right.

My dad told me when they had dinner young they had a homemade corn tortilla made from the stove in their Adobe home in Fresno California. One Chile and Cheese if they made enough money that day. They were a large family that worked hard for a living. I thank God for the work principle my father and family instilled in me. We come a family of hard working farm workers. They taught us Hard work pays off if you stick to it.

 Tis is the skillet I didn't season these with pepper believe me they were good and spicy. My husband could only eat one I made them for the game yesterday. Heat Vs. Pacers my Sons, Husband and nephew Aaron and Great Nephew JP I was able to cook these up and make them a mores snacks while they enjoyed the game. I am glad to start feeling like myself again it has been along time....
