Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Low Fat Jalapeno Poppers Recipe

These are so good!! 
Ingredients:
10 or more jalapenos, split lengthwise and seeded (I used gloves)
4 oz. (half pack) 1/3 less fat cream cheese (soft)
1/4 cup egg substitute (Meijer's are on sale 2 for $3 this week)
1/4 cup 2% fat cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Method:
Mix together cream cheese and cheddar cheese, add salt and pepper to taste (you don't need much).  Stuff pepper halves with about 1 tsp each of cheese mixture.  Coat bottom of pepper with egg and then roll in bread crumbs.  Place on baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes.  Serve warm. 
These work out to .6 WW points for each popper half if using at least 10 jalapenos.
