Jalapeño Bites Recipe: Ingredients for the Crust: - 8 oz seasoned bread crumbs - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese - 3 large eggs Filling Ingredients: - 1 1/2 blocks (12 oz) of cream cheese, softened at room temperature - 1 cup finely diced jalapeños (or a mix of jalapeños and bell peppers for a milder taste) - 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend) - Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste - 1 lb cooked bacon, chopped finely - Garnish with slices of jalapeños and bacon Instructions: Prepare the Crust:    - In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, shredded cheese, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. If too dry, you can add a bit more cheese or a splash of milk; if too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs. Form the Bites:    - Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place each ball into a greased mini muffin tin. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a small well or bowl shape. Make the Filling:    - In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the finely diced jalapeños or pepper mix, additional cheese, seasonings, and most of the cooked bacon, reserving some for garnish. Blend well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Fill and Bake:    - Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the thumbprint bowls you've created in the crust. Ensure not to overfill as the cheese will melt and expand.    - Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Tips and Tricks: -Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Sharp cheddar or a blend for extra flavor.   -To control the heat, remove the seeds for milder bites. You can also mix in some bell peppers for added color and to reduce the spiciness. -Pre-cook the bacon until crispy, then let it cool before chopping. This will make it easier to handle and prevent the bites from becoming soggy. -After baking, garnish with a slice of jalapeño and a sprinkle of bacon for an appetizing look. #aprilsunrisefarm #EasyRecipes #appetizers #peppers #jalapeño #jalapenopoppers #jalapenos #jalapenobites #easyfood #cooking

How to Make Candied Pecans perfect for the holidays!  Ingredients: - 3/4 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 1 teaspoon salt - 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (adjust to taste) - 1 egg white - 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) melted butter - 3 cups pecans Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well and set aside. 3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. This ensures an even coating for the pecans. 4. Gently fold the dry ingredients and melted butter into the egg white, mixing until you achieve a creamy consistency. 5. Add the pecans to the mixture, ensuring each pecan is thoroughly coated with the sugary blend. 6. Spread the coated pecans evenly on the prepared baking sheet. 7. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent clumping. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. 8. Allow the pecans to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool. Tips: - For added depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture. - Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture. #candiedpecans #aprilsunrisefarm #EasyRecipes #christmas #christmasfood
