"This recipe is from a flyer that I receied many years ago. I made them once and they were really tasty but I don't like to fry all that much (too much work and fat!) so I haven't made them again since. I'm going to try making them into mini muffins sometime soon!"

I got this from Southern Living a few years ago. These are the very best hush puppies I have ever made! The only changes I made were to use peanut oil and seed the peppers. Very quick and easy to throw together! I have used fresh jalapenos and canned also. Try'em ..you'll never make them any other way and everyone will want the recipe~ Chef Judi Coleman

I love to cook but need a recipe to get me started! I love recipezaar because it allows me to find a recipe for ANYTHING that I may be craving! I'm a weightwatchers lifetime member (though it seems like that was a lifetime ago!), a knitter, crocheter, former scrapbooker, and a wife and mother! I love seafood and look forward to vacations in the Outer Banks (NC, baby!). I am half Polish and have fond memories of my father making all kinds of homemade Polish meals as well as any other cuisine he could imitate! I can't stand olives but have just learned to like cole slaw! I'm trying to teach my daughter to eat healthfully and am learning how to sneak veggies into meals for her AND hubby!!!
