Jalapeno Poppers

Yesterday I was thumbing through my Pioneer Woman Cookbook and ran across her recipe for BBQ Jalapeno Poppers.

Victoria had fun putting them together.


These little guys are super easy to put together and super good to eat! Just to bump up the heat I threw in some of the seeds from the peppers in to the cream cheese mixture. I also used a spicy BBQ sauce.
I didn't get any photos of them after they are cooked. Not sure why!

Adam was the only one that said they were to hot, the wimp!


We also had some delicious Cajun Potato Soup.. mmmmm goood!

Snow Day 02/12/10

We woke up this morning to even more snow. The kids got up and headed out to play. It is a good thing they got out early because it wasn't long before it began melting.
It was a lot of fun.

Even the cats got out for a little bit.


I took some pictures of pretty trees too.

More Blizzard :)

As soon as the kids go home Adam changed clothes and went outside to play!

UPDATE: Blizzard Twenty Ten

I had worked all night, so after this mornings photos I went and laid down for a little bit. When I work up I found that the snow had started to stick. It is still snowing and I pray we get a good bit!

Blizzard Twenty Ten!!!

Ok, so maybe I am exaggerating a little. After much waiting and anticipating we are getting a little snow! It is very exciting for us folks way down south. While central Arkansas was "buried" in snow this week, we got rain. We are tired of stinking rain.
But today it is snowing. I really hope that it sticks and covers the ground for the kids enjoyment.
Of course it is not covering the ground yet. It may have something to do with the fact that it was 70 degrees just a week and a half ago, but anyway.
Here are a few photos for your viewing enjoyment. You may have to squint to see it! It is actually snowing like crazy, but I just don't know how to capture it on camera just right.

running update

I have been nursing an injury the past few weeks. I went to the doctor today and he said Achillies Tendonitis. I have to take Mobic daily for inflammation.
I have to take about 1 more week off of heavy exercise etc. Then I can get back into it. I should be able to run in the half marathon.

Cooking with Jeff and peppers

I love my husband. He is a creative cook. I am very boring and not a bit adventurous with spices etc.
So last night we decided to make General Tso's Chicken.
It is really very simple to make and is done rather quick.


We used peppers sent to us from Marx Foods. This is a medium heat asian type pepper.
