It’s Sunday! And that can only mean one thing. Game Day Bites! This week I’m turning up the heat with jalapeño poppers. I’m taking the classic football snack and simplifying the process by baking instead of frying. Who wouldn’t want to save time and a few calories? You’ll also have more time to watch the game or whip up additional treats. So grab a beer, cheer for your favorite team and dig in!
