About

During our trip to Colorado last year I meet two wonderful ladies, Jody and Tommie. They kindly invited us to their place for dinner and prepared some of the best stuffed jalapenos I ever had.  I did asked for the recipe and since last year I have tried fixing it.  Well no success there… they never tasted as good, never hold the shape and always missed something.
This year both ladies were in Colorado.  I jumped as fast as I could to the opportunity to have them show me how they made those wonderful little jalapenos peppers that have been in my mind since last year.  They, of course, kindly obliged.  
Love them, that is the only way I can describe the stuffed jalapenos.  Easy to prepare, 20 minutes to cook and a second to be enjoyed.
The huge plate was gone before we knew it. The evening dinner proceeded to be prepared with lots of fun and laughter.
