Mummy Jalapeno Poppers


There are lots of spins on mummy themed treats out there and they've always been a hit here. This time around I'm doing something with a bit more of a kick to them, Mummy Jalapeno Poppers from Taste of Home.

You start by mixing together the cheesy spicy filling using softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, honey, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin and some adobo pepper.

Whenever I need to fill a piping bag I always put it into a large glass and then fold it over the outside rim.  Spoon your cream cheese filling inside, remove the bag from the glass, twist the top closed and snip off the bottom of the bag.

Another great hack is using a tomato corer to clean out the jalapenos. No, I don't wear gloves.  Yes, I regret it every single time. I cut the tops off before splitting the peppers in half.

Once they're all nice and cleared out, line them up on a tray or cutting board all facing in the same direction, it makes filling them so much easier.


Pipe the filling into the peppers generously. I laid them all out in the same direction and that helped it to go fairly quickly.

Now the fidgety bit.  Cut puff pastry dough into strips, I used a pizza cutter. It doesn't really matter if they're super straight, you're going to bed and twist them around the pepper anyways.

Don't be afraid to crisscross them. Since I cut the tops off the peppers I threw one or two strips over the tops just as insurance so the cheese mixture wouldn't totally ooze out.

Once baked you can leave them as is or you can give them some eyeballs. I popped on candy eyes but you could also pipe on sour cream and then use a bit of olive or something like that.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker.  For the pepperoni pi
