Super Bowl Munchies!

Broncos Versus Seahawks! 
"Who's hosting and what are we eating?"


Whether your team is in the bowl or not you likely will have a spot in front of the TV this Sunday...even if it is just for the company, food, commercials and half time show. 

Below are five recipes that I will be serving my friends and family as we cheer on our team! 

*All recipes are created by Jenna unless stated otherwise! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

1) Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños:


I came up with this recipe about 8 years ago for a group of jalapeño loving friends and have been making it ever since (they don’t really give me a choice). I have tweaked it a bit over the years in order to simplify the process but keep the same great taste.  

Prep Time: 25-60 Minutes (depends how many jalapeños you plan on cleaning out)
Cook Time: 20-25 Minutes on 350 degrees 

What you will need:

Jalapeños
Cream Cheese
Bacon
Cilantro
Boysenberry Jam
Teriyaki Sauce

Let's Get Started:

1) Half the jalapeños and clean out the seeds (the seeds and the oils are what make these little guys spicy so do not scrape the seeds out with your finger and if you do more than 10 jalapenos I suggest even wearing gloves. Oh, and do not touch your eyes!) I use a grapefruit spoon to clean the peppers out.



2) Place a piece of cilantro in the emptied out pepper. Then fill with cream cheese. Don't be shy...fill it up. 

3) Next add another little sprig of cilantro. I love cilantro! 



4) Next is the weird and completely random step (1 of 2 anyway). Drizzle with teriyaki sauce (I prefer Veri Veri) and I do mean just drizzle. I just dip a knife in the sauce and drip it over the peppers...it can get a little messy.


5) Now, wrap it up in bacon and bake! 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon looks nice and brown.

6) Let cool and garnish with cilantro and boysenberry jam ( the second random ingredients. Heat the jam so it is a little runny and easy to drizzle on) as little or as much as you prefer. 

The sweet jam is the perfect match for this spicy and savory treat!

Curry Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Warning: This item is addictive!

All recipes are created by Jenna unless stated otherwise! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

This recipe will make you fall in love with Fall all over again. Seriously, your kitchen will fill up with the smell of curry, a little bit of cinnamon and a whole lot of pumpkin.

I must warn you before you begin. I have been known to not measure anything when I cook and with most recipes I post I will try my hardest to change that but on some I really don't think it matters and this is one of those recipes that it doesn't matter. So with that said. Everything is to taste I am just here to guide you.

What you will need: 

-Raw Pumpkin Seeds
-Coconut Oil (I prefer the spray kind)
-Yellow Curry Powder
-Ground Cinnamon
-Sea Salt
-Cookie Sheet

Yep...that's it...easy does it for this one.


Steps: 
*Preheat over to 350

1- Spread the seeds out on the cookie sheet. I used a  9 x 12 sheet and fill the whole bottom and even a little thicker. It is okay if it isn't evenly spread out because you can stir it throughout the baking process.
