i think that this would be a killer recipe. unfortunately, the jalapenos that i bought were just ridiculously too hot (and i'm a huge fan of all things spicy!!). it's really hit or miss at my grocery store. most of the time the jalapenos i pick up there are pretty tame. i'm going to definitely try this recipe again sometime. awesome filling & the fiber one works well as an alternative to frying.

I'm 26 years old, married, and I teach braille for a living. I love my job and I love my life.
Its very important to me to sit down as a family and eat together at the end of the day, but I don't have a lot of time to cook, so I look for meals I can cook ahead and then serve quickly.
