Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, Iรขโฌโขd like to think itรขโฌโขs officially summer. I know we’re still a month away from that date officially, but with the kids almost out of school and the heat already at a record high; itรขโฌโขs time to start thinking about outdoor entertaining and all of the other fun things that come with the season.
Weรขโฌโขre lucky enough to live in a neighborhood with a community pool that often hosts summertime get-togethers. Each family brings a small dish or appetizer and we meet up to grill and spend the afternoon or evening at the pool with our families.
My husband and I have a few different appetizers that we rotate that are always a hit, but thereรขโฌโขs one in particular that ALWAYS gets rave reviews. The best part is that it requires just three simple ingredients: bacon, jalapenos and cream cheese. Intrigued!?
