Pat & Kim's Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

PAT & KIM'S JALAPENO POPPERS

Pat and I didn't really measure when making these.  We just kind of went by feel/looks/taste.  So the measurements I put down are estimations.

Yields 24 poppers

12 jalapenos, cut in half, veined, and seeded
1 package of bacon, cut in half

For the filling:
1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup green onions or chives, chopped
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Preheat oven to 350(ish).

Mix all the ingredients for the filling together.  Stuff each jalapeno with the filling mixture.  Wrap each with the bacon.  They should look like this:


Put them on a rack on top of a cookie sheet.  That way, the bottom of the popper will get cooked too, and it's not sitting in the bacon grease.  Mmmm...bacon grease.  Cook it in the oven for about an hour-ish.  Give or take 10-15 minutes.  At the very end, turn on the broiler for about 2-5 minutes to get that crispiness!  These times and temperatures are definite estimations.  We kind of just eyeballed it until they they got all sizzly, crispy, and delicious!



Mmmmm!!  Nom, nom, nom!!!

Top Ten Favorite Films of 2023

Happy Oscar Day!  For the first time in 27 years, I will miss the Oscars!  My family is visiting and I don't have TV!  So I will have to catch the highlights the next day on the interwebs.  Even though I won't be watching the show, doesn't mean I 'm not going to make my annual top ten list!  So here we go!    10. Oppenheimer   I'm sorry I didn't catch Oppenheimer in IMAX 70mm, but it was still super awesome watching in my living room in my PJ's!  I learned a lot about American history from watching Oppenheimer.  I knew very little about the Manhattan Project.  All I knew was that they tested the bomb in New Mexico and dropped it in Japan.  I didn't realize America was in a race with the Nazis to create the bomb, and I certainly didn't know about how they threw Oppenheimer under the bus after he spoke out against further use of the bomb.  Christopher Nolan is top Christopher Nolan, and I hope he wins for Best Director tonig...

Top Ten Favorite Films of 2022

Happy Oscar Day!  I don't know what they're going to do to top last year's very exciting show, but I can't wait to find out!   So I made it to the theaters twice this year!  I'm slowly easing my way back into theater life, however, it's hard when so many films are available to stream now!  The industry sure is changing!  I think overall 2022 was a great year for movies.  There were outrageous movies like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (hilarious!), cute family films like The Rise of Gru (adorable!), and socially impactful movies like Till (heartbreaking).  And of course, there are Kim's Top Ten.  Warning: possible spoilers ahead!   10. She Said   I think the investigative journalism genre is underappreciated.  All the Presidents Men, Spotlight, The Post, and now She Said.  Every time I see these types of movies, I can't help but have great respect for journalists.  It makes me so mad at those people who scream "fa...

Top Ten Least Favorite Films of 2017

First of all, I apologize for the ugly color scheme and layout of my blog.  I never settled on anything that I was happy with, and since I write on this this basically once a year, I never cared enough about the look of it.  If you can stand the hideousness, please enjoy this list of my least favorite films from 2017! 10. Pitch Perfect 3 I'm sorry, Twin, Jet, and Kenneth!  I had a blast hanging out and seeing this with you guys, but the more I think about the actual movie...the more upset I get.  I am not ashamed to admit that I loved Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2!  I think they are both great and funny and uplifting.  I love the characters, and I love the friendship they have with each other.  That's why I was super excited to see this movie!  I wanted more of that!  More fun, silly, strong female friendships and great singing!  But what I got was a steaming load of crap!  I'm 100% certain every single person who worked on ...
