Good Ol' American Cookin'

Recipe for Poppers: 24 jalapenos , cleaned out and ready to fill 1 small tub of cream cheese 24- 1/2 slices of bacon take a teaspoon and put a dab of cream cheese in jalapeno ( never rub your eyes when handling these), place long ways on your 1/2 slice of bacon and fold over end to meet in the middle (look at pics ). We use a fish rack for putting on grill but a pan will work too. Cook over direct heat until the bacon is cooked and the peppers are soft. Enjoy!

When living out here like we do a Ranch Wife has to get creative in the kitchen. Lately, Wonder Woman has been arriving every afternoon to cook. Yesterday, Sunday she came up with an oldie but goodie. Bacon wrapped Shrimp with a kick! Start with a large shelled shrimp, a strip of mild chile pepper (heat of your choice really)(the kind you make chile rellenos with, can find them in a can I believe ), a slice of bacon.....in order wrap around each other and stick a toothpick thru to hold. Throw on BBQ until you see the shrimp is done.....yummy!Enjoy! Ps these can be done in the oven as well 400* until shrimp is done.... Can add cream cheese between shrimp and chile pepper.....Enjoy!
