Hope you guys like them!<\/p>\n

Did you know that we have a gazillion jalapenos in our garden this year?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay maybe not a gazillion but we have about 10x more this year than we ever did last year and unlike last year–they actually taste like something this time! I don’t know if we bought a different kind of plant, but this year’s crop is hot as hell. Last year, they tasted like nothing.\u00a0Since we have a ton of jalapenos, Michael decided to pickle some. We eat the peppers year round in tons of stuff–omelettes, burritos, enchiladas, guacamole…you name it and we’ll try to make it spicier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure how long it takes for the pickling to be done and the peppers ready to eat, but I will let you know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other way we’ve eaten them is in poppers! I got home from the pool one night recently and Michael had already made them up and they were ready to munch on while dinner cooked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the recipe he used:<\/p>\n

[amd-zlrecipe-recipe:43]<\/p>\n

The poppers were fantastic! I loved them and was sad there weren’t more. They were super spicy and the cream cheese mixture tasted great. I want to have these again asap. I ate the poppers with a glass of milk to wash it down, they were that hot–AND Michael had removed all the seeds. Incredible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was a busy bee that night, too, because he made guacamole from scratch to go on our steak salads. Dinner was a big bowl of lettuce with some black olives, pico de gallo, guacamole, a little bit of shredded cheese, sour cream and the steak cubed up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Usually when we make these Mexican salads we add beans to it and the black beans sit in my stomach like a brick. This time I skipped it and was happily satisfied with dinner without feeling like I ate too much.<\/p>\n

I want more poppers.<\/p>\n
