Stuffed Jalapeño Firecrackers
This stuffed jalapeño firecracker recipe is the result of years of competing with family and friends over the perfect stuffed jalapeño. But bring your tissues because these are hot! They go well with summer beer, which you'll find on this site.
Egg Roll in a Bowl
You might think this was invented to avoid all of that time-consuming wrapping and messy deep-frying, but it wasn't! It was invented by the keto people, because they can't eat egg roll wrappers-but this guy can. So, instead of what's really egg roll filling in a bowl, we're doing the real thing in all of its tasty and textural glory. Garnish with more green onions if desired.
No Milk, No Wheat, Banana Pancakes
I came up with these banana pancakes without milk or wheat when a flourless banana pancake recipe I tried was mushy and difficult to flip. I adjusted the recipe and these came out puffy and light like traditional pancakes, though they contain no wheat flour, added sugar, or milk. Kids love the subtle banana flavor, too. Serve with butter and syrup of choice.
