This recipe was born simply out of frustration, yep.. I was frustrated at the same-old hostess, gift-giving garb that we all show up with at every dinner and gathering we’re ever invited to ,,, or ever host ourselves!

We have our cute tins of cookies, our candles, and gift-cards galore.. but when, when I ask.., do you ever show up with a sweet, spicy, fun and unique, platter of Candied Jalapeno POPPERS?!

Hmmm..?  Well today is your lucky day, because with this little recipe up your sleeve, you will be remembered LONG after the party is over! Make LOTS!

12 fresh jalapenos

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

(approx.) 2 cups cheesecake filling

Directions:

In a med sauce pan, combine the sugar and water, stir it once to blend the sugar, and then let it simmer until it’s a light amber color…

Slice the ends off of the peppers and gently core out all the seeds and veins… reserve the stems…

When the sugar is simmering, remove from the heat, and dip a pepper into it and coat evenly…

Place them onto a lined sheet pan and let them set up for about 15 minutes or until they’re cooled and crisp…

Now, fill each candied pepper up with some of the cheesecake filling…

Set the jalapeno stems on top… because, CUTE!

If you’ve been around this page for a while, you know how I love turning what’s typically a giant meal into a fun, whimsical, and bite sized treat.  Well, that love is alive and kicking, as evidenced right here, right now.

Yep, you’re looking at a deep fried, spaghetti & meatball, one-bite-wonder.

A pop-in-your-mouth dinner for one, if you will.. in the form of crispy, crunchy, lightly fried angel hair pasta, snuggled deliciously around a perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender meatball.  ..ALL dressed up in a beautiful coat of saucy marinara dip!

You can thank me later, but for now.. go jazz up some spaghetti & meatballs, then let me know what you think…GO!

~ In a matter of minutes, you and all your closest friends and family.. (and strangely, some friends you didn’t even know you had), will make these disappear like magic!  ~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need for 2 dozen:

1/2 lb. angel hair pasta.. cooked and cooked completely

24 mini meatballs (fully cooked) from the frozen section..

2 eggs

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1 tbsp. italian seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

oil for frying..either veg, or canola

marinara sauce for dipping

Directions:

Cook up the 1/2 lb. or so of pasta and let it FULLY COOL!  ..set aside

In a small bowl combine the 2 eggs, cheese, salt and pepper, and seasoning…

Pour the egg mixture into the cooled pasta…

Now, take a meatball (it’s fine if they’re still semi-frozen) .. and using a fork, or your clean hands, wrap the pasta around the meatball…

Place them individually it into a NON-STICK SPRAYED muffin tin and freeze them for at least 1 hour…

Take them out when your oil is ready, and gently use a knife to pry them out of the pan.. they will pop right out no prob.

Heat your oil to 350 degrees, and fry up one or two pasta bundles at a time, until they’re evenly golden…

Let them cool just a minute or two, if you can be patient…

And serve those babies up…

Don’t forget the marinara sauce!

And dig IN!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Have you ever been going along, minding your own business, just living your life.. when suddenly you start wondering what it would be like to pop an entire meatball sub into your mouth without alarming and grossing out innocent onlookers?  No, you say? …well, I’d love to say that I haven’t either, but ..ummm, we’re all here right now for a reason..just saying!  😉

So instead of trying to make sense of why I had this thought, I used that energy to make these babies a reality.. and this is what happened!

Yep, you’re looking at a delicious, whimsical, easy to make..easier to eat, meatball sub!  Perfectly seasoned, juicy, tender beef that has been loving stuffed with provolone, and then wrapped and fried to crispy, crunchy perfection.

These 1-2 bite cheesy meatball wonders are honestly one of the best little snacks I think I’ve ever tried, and SO simple to make it’s almost embarrassing.. almost…lol!  But let’s be honest, nothing is ever quite embarrassing enough to stop me from serving up evidence of my laziness in the form of tasty treats every. single. time.

Make these for game day, movie night, or as a fun lunch for the kids.. but just make them, you can’t go wrong!  And YES, you can totally substitute the beef for turkey, chicken, even veggie burgers if you’d like!  DO IT!

~Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

1/2 lb lean ground beef (or any ground meat of your choice)

2 eggs (one into the beef, one used as egg wash)

seasoning for the meat, ..your choice.

1″ cube/piece of cheese per meatball…. I used provolone

large egg roll wrappers, one per meatball sub

oil for frying..veg or canola

sauce for dipping, (seasoning and grated parmesan for garnish..optional)

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the meat, one egg, and seasonings of your choice (I used onion powder, chile powder, oregano, salt and pepper)…mix well!

Make your meatballs, approx. 1-2″ and stuff them with cheese.. making sure to wrap the meat completely around the cheese…

Set one meatball in a egg roll wrapper….

Mix up the egg…

Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg…

Roll the meatball up inside the wrapper, sealing it completely.. and using your hands to kind of squeeze them and secure them in a tight, ball shape…

Heat your oil to 350 degrees, and fry them up one or two at a time for about 3-4 minutes to ensure that the meat is fully cooked through..and they’re golden on all sides…

Serve them up warm, with some sauce..

And some cheese on top if you’d like…

Then do what you do best.. DIG IN!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Annnd of course, I wasn’t going to eat them in a typical, expected way…oh no, I wanted to create a fun, original, and whimsical way to enjoy this typical dish in a deliciously extraordinary way.  And I think I did just that.

These fun little pad thai poppers deliver everything we know and love about pad thai, in the most crispy-tender party-ready way ever.  Each popper provides a unique crispy-crunchy noodle, lovingly wrapped around a juicy, tender chicken nugget, only made better by a little plunge into a creamy peanut dipping sauce.  OH yeahhh!

What you’ll need for approx. 2 dozen perfect pad thai poppers:  (Supplies for this recipe were purchased at Smith’s/Kroger)

1 lb. chicken tenders cut into 1″ cubes

1 package of Rice Noodle Gluten Free noodles.. Thai Peanut flavor

Oil for frying.. I used canola

Peanut Dipping sauce.. I used store bought

Directions:

Cut the chicken into approx. 1″ cubes, set aside..

In a shallow pan, cook up the noodles according to the package instructions, set aside..

Now, add approx. two inches of oil into a shallow pan and heat it up.

Take one if the chicken cubes on the end of a fork, and wrap it with the cooked and seasoned noodles.  This doesn’t need to be perfect, just get some of the noodles around each piece of chicken and when it hits the oil, they will stick..

Fry each side in the shallow oil, just until they’re slightly golden in color..

Prepare your dipping sauce, and serve them up!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
