These have to be one of the best appetizers out there. They’re super easy to make, but I seriously have a hard time backing away. I could eat the whole plate if no one stops me. Serve these up at your next get together and you’ll see what I mean.

Ingredients:
6 jalapeno peppers
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
6 bacon strips, cut in half widthwise
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili seasoning

Directions:
Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and take the seeds out. Beat the cream cheese and cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Place an even amount of the cheese into each jalapeno half and then wrap each with a piece of the bacon. Stir together the brown sugar and chili seasoning and coat the peppers with it. Bake the peppers at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes in a greased baking dish.

I love Brussels sprouts steamed with salt and pepper, but if you prefer something with a bit more flavor, this is the recipe for you. This is an economical and fairly healthy side dish that works great with roasted turkey, chicken, fish or a thick, juicy steak.

Ingredients:
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup chicken broth

Directions:
Cook the bacon in a skillet until brown and crisp. Remove the bacon and add the olive oil to the pan. Saute the shallots in the oil for 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in the Brussels sprouts and stir to coat with oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat and simmer the sprouts for about 10 minutes. Drain the sprouts and top with bacon just before serving.
