Poppers!

Today I want to discuss the next installment of my football fan favorites by turning up the heat! Here is a quick recipe for jalepeno poppers. You need about 12 nice peppers halved and seeded. After that you'll want to pan fry some bacon strips. Let them drain and cool. Give them a quck chop or dice, set aside. Now in a bowl mix your cream cheese,cheddar and bacon till blended. Then you'll want to stuff each half with the mixture and bake till the cheese is at a nice melt, not long at all. If you want more of a crunchy texture, set out a dipping station before hand with pans of milk, flour,and dry bread crumbs. You'll want to dip in milk then flour. Let that sit for ten minutes than dip in milk and bread crumbs again and pan fry in oil till they become golden brown. Now you're ready to go past four downs enjoying this as much as your favorite team. Next weeks football fanatic recipe will be a deep fried chicken finger with a Carolina BBQ sauce for my wifes favorite team. Take care and stay tuned.

Slammin Salmon

Today I want to talk about salmon it is hands down my favorite fish it's light but still meaty and very healthy. So last night I decided to prepare a very lovely special meal for my wife. I started with the salmon I made little slits and squeezed lemon juice throughout and took my seafood seasoning and dusted the Salmon. After that I made a white wine broth and poured it all over the Salmon and than baked it on 375 for 20 minutes time varies due to thickness of the fillets. To stay on a health kick I made some brown rice and a sauteed zucchini,yellow squash and tomato side with a touch of garlic and extra virgin olive oil. As the salmon is reaching it's doneness remove from the oven and place some honey over the fish and continue to bake till it's done and when you remove it from the oven you could place some more honey over the top garnish with a slice of lemon. It's a lite fun colorful dish with wonderful flavors and textures. A healthy hit for anyone who likes big flavor

Football time

Sundays are usually for church and rest, However in our domain it's football from 1 till way after the 8 o'clock game. So when you think of football you mainly want fast easy accesible finger food. So I am going to talk about a chicken cordon bleu bite either deep fried or baked for either prefrence. First of all you'll want to get chicken breasts than you will split them with your knife. For a little faster cooking time you could pound them thinner. After they are split you will want to take some smoked ham and mozzarella cheese and roll them up tightly, for baking just get some seasoned bread crumbs and give them a quick egg wash roll in the bread crumbs till covered and bake at 375 for roughly 25 minutes. Now if your like me and have a table top fryer follow the techinque but when it's time to bread make a flour mixture seasoned with salt and pepper and dredge the rolled chicken through and deep fry at a set temp of 375 until golden brown. If you like heat add a few chopped jalapeños when you roll up the cordon bleu. Enjoy this quick and easy way to get into the kitchen on your Sunday get together with family or friends right before kick off.

Thank you and have a great day.
