I tried these last night and the whole family loved them! I left the green chiles and peppers out because my little girl can't handle to spicy yet, and I also just baked them, instead of putting them in the butter and frying them, but they were great! I will definitely be making these again soon!

Hello! My name is Carla. I have 5 kids ages 10 and under.
I love to cook, sing, paint, bicycle, and play piano. It's hard to squeeze in that many activities anymore though, but I still manage.
I grew up in Alabama and learned to cook everything southern. I spent a lot of my childhood and all of my adult life in Colorado, the healtiest state in the nation. I've become a health and fitness fanatic. I'ts a real trick to balance healthy eating and southern cooking. I've learned to make a lot of modifications to make those southern dishes work for us though.
