Ketchup!

So A Daddy tomato, mommy tomato, and baby tomato are walking down the street. The baby falls behind and the mom struts back to him hits him and says "KETCHUP" or "Catch up!" whichever. That is the theme for todays post....playing Ketchup.

A lot has happened in the last month....got tax money back which was a relief, quit smoking, finished the decluttering, Haelie turned 5 months, Colton learned to tie his shoes and Dakota's nickname is Darlin'....etc....nothing majorly exciting though. I'm anxious for spring like you wouldn't believe, but everyone around here is. The weather has been incredibly crappy. Cold and wet! It's a muddy mess outside whenever it does thaw out every few days....I started some garden plants indoors a few weeks ago in hopes to bait that nice weather in....kinda backfired. Now I have plants that really need to be outside now and its too cold....that figures, just my luck. Oh well I guess. Anywho...I'm actually kinda sorta keeping up on my housework....eek lol. There isn't really anything "post worthy" here other than to let you loyal readers know I haven't forgotten about you and I will remember to check in with you every now and then. To tide you over here's a FOOL PROOF recipe for Stuffed Jalapenos! MMMMMMM!

Stuffed Jalapenos

1# fresh Jalapenos
1-8oz pkg Cream Cheese, softened
1# Bacon (preferably not thick cut)
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Baking sheet
Spoons

Rinse jalapenos well!** and cut off stem and cut in half lengthwise, remove innards with spoon. Spoon enough cream cheese into each pepper half to fill. Take uncooked bacon and cut in half. Wrap stuffed pepper halves with a 1/2 slice of bacon trying to cover all the cream cheese (its not a big deal if it doesn't completely get covered). Place bacon wrapped jalapenos on baking sheet and place in 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until bacon is done....Watch them after about 20 mins.

Okay so this recipe isn't entirely FOOL PROOF persay, b/c it does involve a ton of grease leftover from the bacon cooking which can cause a nasty fire, but otherwise....lol I hope you enjoy these, they are great snacks that I will be making a LOT!!!!!!!

**The better you wash them the less spicy they are......just fyi
