💬 Reviews (Fantastic!!! I made only 1/3 of the recipe for DH and I to snack on while waiting for dinner and all I can say is that I should have made more. I tried only ONE and turned around to find that DH had eaten all of them by himself! I wouldn't change a thing to the recipe, they were perfect! Thanks Cher!)

💬 Reviews (These were so simple and a great way to use up our bumper crop of jalapenos. I seeded the peppers under running water, which really kept my eyes & throat from burning. I too lined my cookies sheets with foil, and I also stuck the peppers in the freezer for about 20 minutes, which seemed to help keep the cheese mixture from running as they cooked. The flavor combo is great, and we will definitely make them again. Thanks, Cher!!)

a plump juicy game hen crusted with pistachios and parmesan cheese. i like to stuff mine with stovetop sourdough bread stuffing as well. i've noticed that when stuffed, the birds stay much more moist.
💬 Reviews (I'm always looking for good appetizer recipes. These were very tasty. I used a vegetable cream cheese and Hormel real bacon bits to simplify one step. Everyone loved them; thanks for posting!)

from rachael ray. haven't tried yet, but sounded great.
💬 Reviews (I only made half a batch for a small get together. Boy was I sorry!! They were gone in about 5 minutes. These are absolutely delicious. Boiling them for 5 minutes, made them very soft, so I may only boil for 2-3 minutes for a little more crunch. I love the fact that there is both cream cheese & cheddar cheese, instead of 1 or the other.)

another lovely way to cook a lovely fish! you can use different nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds etc. you may also use a different fish such as chilean sea bass, trout etc. seafood magic is a seasoning by chef paul prudhomme. get his seasonings if you can find them - they are to die for! you may sub old bay instead but it wont have the same flavor, though still fantastic!
