Stuffed Shishito Peppers Wrapped In Beef Bacon

These peppers are very flavorful but not spicy

One of my food proverbs of wisdom is a flavor must not be overwhelmed by fire. Spicy food must have flavor and not be all heat. The shishito peppers hit that note. The recipe I put together had the perfect combination of sweet and salty with the faintest hint of heat. I also tested out some beef bacon. While the beef bacon was not as good as the original flavor it was as close a substitute as I have seen. I feel comfortable recommending the beef bacon as a prime bacon stand-in for it’s more popular relative.

Putting this together was pretty easy. And ready in a jiff. Clean the peppers and slice on the side through the length of the peppers but not in half.

Stuff with string cheese
Wrap with bacon. Cut in half if needed
Bake in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes. Season if desired I used chili-lime flavored seasoning salt but very little
Glaze with strawberry jam
Plate it up to enjoy!

That’s all it took and a delicious bite is on its way to your palate. I added some roasted pine nuts and little cutie orange segments to the plate and rested the shishito peppers in more glaze. It was everything you need it to be and more.

Enjoy

These Donuts Are Bananas

Fluffy and filled with banana flavored goodness.

Got a banana laying on your counter that might be getting a bit squishy? If you have that banana hanging around you might be in for a treat. Utilizing ingredients most of us have hanging around our kitchen right now. These donuts are super moist and fluffy with a crispy outside. I decided to top mine with some powdered sugar and ate it up a few minutes out of the frying pan. It was an incredible bite.

These donuts are incredibly easy and incredibly amazing.
