Individual Chicken (or Turkey) Pot Pie with Crescent Tops

Chicken Pot Pie OR Turkey Pot Pie from Scratch OR Leftovers … no matter which way you make it, it is going to be good! I grew up and never really liked Pot Pie most of my life (not sure if it is the peas

A few weeks ago, I made “the best breakfast casserole ever” so decided that I should do my best to see if I could top the amazingness of that breakfast in a totally different fashion! These individual breakfast cups just may change the way that 

Apple Cake

There is a debate out there as to if Apples or Pumpkin are the Ultimate Fall Flavor. Now although this debate might not be as likely to cause a huge argument at your workplace as the other debates that are going on right now (we are avoiding politics here at Teacher-Chef, thank you) – it is still a debate. SO, since I thoroughly enjoy both flavors I will be refraining from this debate as well! Today though, I am featuring an apple recipe for your eating pleasure.

Because of the use of Whole Wheat Flour and tons of Apples, this cake is healthy enough to be considered a breakfast but delicious and sweet enough to be enjoyed as a dessert. I liked how simple this cake was to make and because of how many apples it has, I was able to just force myself to forget about the butter!

Jalapeno Poppers

Jalapeno Poppers

We like things spicy around here. So last year when Rich decided that he wanted to grow habaneros, I supported him. Well, who knew that two little plants would produce so many peppers. I think that all year we used about 25 habaneros (and that is including recipes which used lots of them, like hot sauce, infusing vodka, and pepper flakes). I don’t know how people stand spicier peppers. So, long story short: we basically swore off super spicy peppers and decided to stick with the perfect pepper instead: Jalapenos.

A Jalapeno Pepper is just spicy enough. You get plenty of kick, but not too bad that you will burn your nose just chopping them or ruin a dinner by adding it to dinner! We still have more Jalapenos than we really can use without adding them to everything I cook (so the friends who I am sharing with aren’t complaining)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the most popular jalapeno dishes around here has been Jalapeno Poppers. Now these are not your unhealthy deep-fried poppers, no – these are pretty healthy (low fat cream cheese & cheese, if you want to think “healthy” it is actually a well balanced snack: you have your dairy and your vegetable)! Even my mom and Rich’s mom, who  both do not like super-spicy foods, enjoyed these. As Rich said “you need to add the heat [from baking them] to take away the heat [spicy-ness]”.
