Super Stuffed Jalapenos

Jalapenos are a great snack, and i’m sure most of you have had jalapeno poppers at any restaurant or tailgating event. they’re great for toppings, dips, and anything in between. so i decided one day to kick these little bad boys up a notch.

SUPER STUFFED JALAPENOS.

Step 1: ingredients, ASSEMBLE!

that’s right. you see hotdogs…

i know what you’re thinking: “hot dogs? what the fluff is wrong with this guy?”

not only that, but we’re putting shredded cheese and JALAPENO cream cheese in it as well! holy god!!

the most important thing to consider is making sure your jalapenos are big enough. you gotta get those huge ones, not the dinky little pinky-sized punks. then you take a small knife and cut out that seeds and spiny thing in the middle.

next simple step?

Step 2: STUFF!

mmmmm…. cheese

i love cheese, you love cheese. ’nuff said. but we need MORE!

MOAR CHEESE!

after this step, you should be able to stuff a hotdog cut in half into it. of course, you’ll probably need to use toothpicks to keep the ‘dog in, but that’s fine because if you’re like me you’re going to finish things up with this next gorgeous step.

Step 3: MAKE MORE AWESOMER

zOMG, BACON!!

that’s right, wrap those meaty bad boys in some bacon, and top with cheese! i mean really? it’s fantastic, and there’s literally no reason you shouldn’t make this the next time you are watching your favorite team put the hurt on some whiny little punks. so just make sure your oven is set around 300 degrees, and cook for about 15min (or until bacon is cooked to your liking).

final step:

ENJOY!

have you seen a more delicious-looking snack anywhere? i need to cut this blog short, because i’m inches away from licking my screen. have fun out there!

My Weight Loss Journey (Day 37 + weekend update!)

hello again, everyone! i’m trying to stay up to date with EVERYTHING, so here’s a few things that have been going on.

well, friday i had to wake up early and head down to Lubbock for monthly company training, which went well. in addition to the training, we had company pt, and i’m very pleased to say that despite not actually *running* on a track in at least a month, i was able to stay in the small group we had and run 5 miles at an average pace of 9min/mile

pretty intense, and i wasn’t really that tired afterward (although, now my legs are sore as hell!)

my weight has very very slowly been dropping again. last time i weighed myself, i was just barely over 153lbs… but then i also partied a bit friday night (two coworkers had birthdays during the week, so we kinda had to catch up :P)

needless to say, i was pretty damn hungover saturday, so not much was done at all, aside from some vacuuming and unloaded and loaded the dishwasher.

today has been much more productive!

i finally got around the filling in the garden and planting my best sprouts

for those of you wondering what should grow, i’ve got 4 spinach plants, and about a dozen bell pepper and hot pepper plants. so basically, i can make spicy salads 😛

 

in addition to that, i also got some more work done on my music. for those of you who don’t know, i am a musician, and although i do a lot of solo stuff, i’m technically still working on stuff for my band Prototype Theory. if for some reason you haven’t heard of us, you should check this out (because it’s pretty badass).

also, getting ready to get some gigs lined up in the area, so that should keep me busy too for a while, but i promise to stay active with the blog posts! (seriously!).

let’s see… what else? oh yeah, made some horrible snack food the other day. well, i say horrible, but it was DELICIOUS!!!

hot dog-stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. MORE WIN THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT.

here are a few pics

omg…. so freaking delicious.

 

anyway! that’s it for my update! catch you all on the flip side!
