I made these cream cheese jalapeño poppers after a number of unsatisfactory attempts at making deep-fried poppers. I modified a recipe by Emeril and came up with this. It's much easier than frying, and everyone in our family agrees they're at least as good as (if not better than) any fried poppers they've had! We love hot peppers and always make this recipe with the ones we grow in our garden every year.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons taco seasoning mix

Soft Sugar Cookies V
These cookies, which contain sour cream, are the softest sugar cookies ever! I find that if I roll them a little thick and do not overbake, they are best and stay moist. Use whatever cookie cutters that suit the occasion!
Sourdough Blueberry Muffins
I used sourdough discard to make these dense, tangy, blueberry muffins. Active sourdough can also be used, resulting in a fluffier, lighter muffin. Both versions are delicious!
