An Appetizer from Another Joy

You all know about my mom, Joy, but there is another “Joy” who has been a big part of my life – my Aunt Joy (Blankenship), Granny Grace’s daughter.

Just like my mom, this Joy brings a lot of joy to people! If you know her, you know that she has a servant’s heart and loves to give. Today I am sharing her Jalapeno Appetizer – It is one of my favorites!

At the last family reunion I attended, I happened to be sitting next to Aunt Joy when I took a bite of the most delicious stuffed jalapeno for the first time. The jalapeño was crisp and with the filling, it was so refreshing!

I told my aunt that I had to find out who made the jalapeno appetizers, which turned out to be pretty easy since it was her. Since that time, she has given me the recipe, and I made them last week. Delicious!!

This is a very simple and easy recipe!

I cannot promise how mild or spicy they will be. These peppers were all bought at the same time and from the same bin at the grocery store. I ended up with some that had just a touch of heat, and others had too much heat for me to eat them. It is really just personal preference. If you happen to know the secret for picking out mild or spicy peppers, please share.
