I have a love/hate relationship with Valentine’s. The card variety, that is. Jessi and I always made her cards for her classmates from scratch until last year when she asked to please buy some from the store. I enjoyed making these, … Read the rest of this entry

Best Appetizer On The Planet!
Any events coming up that you may need a GREAT appetizer? and One that no one has probably had before? and one that is NOT a dip? Super bowl Party Anyone?
Every time I make these the plate is EMPTY and they are begging for more.
Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Sausages
1 package Kielbasa sausage – I like the Garlic Flavor.
1 bottle crushed pickled Jalapeños
couple hand fulls of brown sugar
1 Package regular bacon
Toothpick
An appetite
Some friends
Sorry I unwrapped it before I took the pic! Kielbasa sausage. I like the garlic flavored. You will see jalapeño flavor and think you can then skip the pickled jalapeño step. I’m stomping my foot and saying NO! NO! NO! It is NOT the same. Glad we cleared that up.
Cut the sausage into disks like this. A serrated knife works best to get through the skin.
I LOVE this stuff. If you can’t find it then just get a jar of sliced pickled Jalapeños and squish them up with a fork.
Put a little dollop onto each sausage.
They all have a dot. Don’t worry they are only a little hot. Just hot enough to be perfect.
Cheap Bacon
Cut into 3rds
Wrap the bacon around each one and secure it with a toothpick. They should be pretty close together.
All snug in the bacon.
Sprinkle with brown sugar. Not too much though. About 3 handfuls. Make sure each one gets some sugar.
Bake this at 375 for about 20 minutes. You will smell it when it is done. Watch them.
All baked up and ready to go! They will look like this when they are done. I like to dab them on a paper towel before I put them in the to go container or serving platter.
All snug in my mouth!
Happy Times,
Shannon
P.S. Take my advice and make double.
