Baked Cream Cheese Jalapeño Poppers
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.
Prime Rib Roast on Charcoal Grill
This is a very good recipe for grilling beef rib roast. I have used this for both bone-in and boneless roasts with great results on each. Make sure to remove the roast from the fridge about 1 to 2 hours before cooking.
