Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers

By -
 This recipe is so easy to make and it only consists of 3 ingredients; fresh jalapenos, cream cheese, and bacon. Did I tell you how delicious these are ? The jalapeno peppers are first sliced in half then seeded, stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon and grilled.  Seriously are you still with me, or did I loose you at "wrapped with bacon"?  These are such a great side dish to any meats you might be grilling, or a fantastic appetizer for a party. You really should wear gloves when slicing and seeding the jalapenos, because they can burn your hands.






20 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
1-2 boxes cream cheese, softened
1-2 packages  bacon, cut into halves

 Halve and seed the jalapenos. Please wear rubber/latex gloves when doing this to prevent burns.
Stuff each half with cream cheese and wrap with a half piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
 Grill on the BBQ or cook in pre-heated oven at 350/180 until bacon in done.

**You can adjust this recipe to make as many or as little as you need.
**When we grill them on the BBQ, I like to just make a slit, in the jalapenos, trying to keep both sides, then stuff them,,close them, wrap them, and grill them !

My Grandmother's Alcatra de Carne

By -

“Alcatra” is a traditional dish from Terceira, the island I live on. It is a pot roast that is cooked in large unglazed red clay pots. The pots are seasoned, and with each use get darker, and darker.  The simple spices, combined with onions, bacon and wine are what make this dish  flavorfull and so good. "Alcatra" is the Arabic word for "piece", and  it is  made with pieces of beef (round, shank, chuck). The additon of meat with bone in, makes all the difference, as the bones will give it more flavor. Every village, and everybodies grandmother has a different recipe for Alcatra, this one happens to be my grandmother's version. Shortly after I married, I took all of my ingredients, a notebook and pen over to my maternal grandmother's house. Where, while she put everything together, I wrote down her words of wisdom. Now I must say, she may or may not have forgotten something, but I follow this recipe as is, I don't mess arond with it, it's her recipe,

Lapas Grelhadas- Grilled Limpets

What are lapas you ask? They are limpets, a shellfish, think clams, but  with only one shell and so much better, they taste of the sea when eaten raw, right out of the shell. Perhaps eating a raw limpet is not your thing, then lapas grelhadas is sure to be! Easy to prepare, the lapas are grilled and served in their own shells; resulting in a savory, and divine dish. Great as a starter or as a lazy summer afternoon meal. I promise that you will enjoy this  Azorean delicacy. Fresh Lapas Butter, soft, I like salted Garlic, minced Massa de Malagueta or Piri Piri/Tabasco/Sriracha Lemon Wedges -Clean the lapas, removing any debris, sand etc. -Next decide how you want to grill them, on the stove top, use a griddle or large frying pan, in the oven or BBQ use a large cookie sheet. They all work, and taste great! -Carefully, arrange the lapas, shell down (cupped side down, this means the juices won’t spill out), on the pan, cookie sheet or griddle you will be using. -Nex
