Uh honey why are you wearing latex gloves??

You can always count on an interesting conversation when your husband comes around the corner and you snap on the latex gloves :) Especially after we had just been talking about the necessity for him to go have a physical once in awhile!!

I quickly put his fears to rest by pointing to the mound of jalapeno peppers on the counter. I have found that by wearing gloves I can work the peppers faster and with less pain.

Now, before you say you don't like jalapenos....I really bet you would if prepared properly. Scrape out the seeds and the membranes as that is where the heat is concentrated - once that's done you have a pepper that's just slightly spicier than a regular green pepper.

Please, please use fresh bread crumbs. It doesn't take much to throw a few slices of bread into the food processor...and the flavour is out of this world!



These little poppers are baked, not fried and I used low fat cream cheese to make it a bit healthier. They were fabulous and not spicy at all. Well, that's a tiny bit of a lie. We all got one pepper that I hadn't properly cleaned out and had to guzzle our drinks.
