Tried two from Issue #64 last nite - and we were not good last nite either...
The Jalapeno poppers were very good - I only made five, but made the entire amount of filling (my first mistake ) And we only ate two each of the poppers, leaving one popper... While they were tasty, I don't know if I'll make this particular one agaain, I do have a couple that we really, really like.
Then we tried the Japanese Meatballs with the Teriyaki sauce. We both loved this, but this is where we got ourselves into trouble.
I thawed some plain rice out, mixed it with the leftover jalapeno filling and minced up the leftover jalapeno and sprinkled the rest of the corn chips/chili powder over. Oh my was that ever tasty!! How could it not be, with all those flavors?
The meatballs are a great do ahead dish - at dinner time I just had to grill them for a little while, they were made early in the day. I made smaller meatballs (1 oz. each), so I have some to freeze for later. The combination of the meatballs, rice and teriyaki drizzled over - really good!! I will make this one again and 'try' to just serve plain rice with it
I still had pineapple from a dinner that I can't talk about yet, so grilled that up also - oh my, what a sweet treat!!
(Billy - one cup equivalent of pineapple is only 2mg of sodium!! and grilling it makes it so wonderful!!!)

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
