Hi!

I am a mother of 2 small babes who motivate me to continue turning my passion into business. I am a lover of all things food & hospitality. I work as a private chef here in Nashville, TN & do private catering for various events from corporate gigs to studio sessions. My favorite part about cooking is the element of gathering people from all walks of life together with one thing in common. Enjoying a meal together. I grew up with a family that taught me through the generations that food is love. I hope that here you find some joy, some memories & some long lasting recipes to fill your home (& bellies)!

Mikey's Jalapeño Poppers

My husband has been wanting a feature on my blog so here is his intro! He is an amazing griller so I will begin to feature a lot more of his grilling recipes! We are kicking it off with these jalapeño poppers. He used a Traeger Pro Series 575 for these but you could use any bbq.

Mikey’s Jalapeno Poppers

12 jalapeños, sliced in half

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar

1 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp chili powder

Dash of salt

1 pack bacon

Preheat your grill to 180. In the mean time, slice jalapeños in half and set aside. Mix cream cheese & cheddar together. Stuff jalapeños with cream cheese mixture. Cut your bacon strips in half & wrap about the stuffed jalapeños. In a bowl mix the brown sugar, chili powder & salt. Roll the poppers in the brown sugar mixture then place on a sheet pan. Add the sheet pan to the grill & cook for 30 minutes at 180, after 30 minutes crank the heat to 375 and cook a remaining 30 minutes from when the grill hits 375. Overall the poppers will cook for roughly 1 hour, 10 mins. Remove from grill & serve!
