Jalapeños!


OK, it’s known that I can’t do spicy foods.  With all of these beautiful jalapeños this season I had to get creative.  After all, at CSA365 we let no veggie go unloved.  I have turned to my friends and neighbors for help with this task and boy did they go above and beyond!  I have a bunch of ideas to share with you, with huge thanks today to Katie and Sharon, bravo friends!

Our first is a jalapeño corn dip in the slow cooker.  I got a call from my friends telling be I had to come over to try this one, so it’s that much of a winner!  This recipe is from damndelicious.net

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and diced
  • 3 cans of corn – or use a few ears of fresh corn from Springdell!
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper 
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped chives – visit the pick your own herb garden!

Toss it all together in the crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours, stir to smooth out the consistency and enjoy!

Next we have crescent roll baked jalapeño poppers.  The picture walk you right through this one:
