These all sound so good! Jalapeno is such a great pepper. The flavor is great in all kinds of dishes. It’s not just hot.
It’s a matter of acquiring the taste.
I am so going to bookmark this! o.k. TRUTH. I can’t eat anything spicy/hot for the world, but my husband, son in law and grandsons… we grow Jalopenos it just for the guys in the family. I am loving these recipes for snacks for the guys for Father’s Day. I think a couple of these may be new family fav appetizers for the holidays too. Thx for making me look good!
You grow them? How COOL is that???
I’m not a huge fan of spicy things, but my family LOVES it! The hotter the better.
There you go! They will be happy you thought of them!

While my mother isn’t big on jalapenos (she’s not a spicy food person) I know who would LOVE this post – my husband. Last year he grew his own jalapenos for the first time and I believe he’s going to do the same again this year. I’m going to send this his way for some inspiration on what to do with them when it comes time to harvest!
Oh wow, he grew them? THAT is awesome.
I’m watering at the mouth! I love jalapeños. Didn’t think so much was possible with just that one ingredient. Thanks for sharing.
