These Halloween Jalapeno Poppers are so spooky fun!

These Mummy Jalapeno Poppers are actually a recipe that has been around here for years, as part of my epic Halloween food ideas platter.

But they’re so cute that I thought they deserved their own spotlight today!

These jalapeno popper mummies are a playful twist on classic jalapeno poppers that will thrill your taste buds and add a ghoulish charm to your Halloween spread.

I’m bringing you an oldie but a goodie today. Kind of like my orange ginger chicken, this is a recipe I’ve been making my family for many years, and I’m not even sure of the “origins” of it.

I think one time I just had a half of a jar of pimentos in the fridge left over after making pimento cheese dip that I wanted to use up, to be honest.

Like my taco mac and cheese, it’s a super creamy stovetop mac and cheese. It has the sharp cheesy flavor of Monterey Jack and white cheddar, and is seasoned with “ranch” herbs like dill and chives.

And then a generous spoonful of pimentos are added for extra flavor. I hope you love this Pimento Mac and Cheese recipe as much as my family does! It’s one of my favorite side dishes for ribs.

My roasted corn salad recipe is an oldie but a goodie. In fact, not only is it one of the most popular recipes on this blog, but it’s also one of my favorite recipes to take to a party. I’ll sometimes simply call that recipe “elote salad,” and serve it alongside baby back ribs (don’t forget the best rib rub when you make them)!

What is Elote?

Elote is a popular street food in Mexico. It’s simply corn on the cob (usually boiled or grilled), coated with condiments such as mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice and spices.

However, I’ll be the first to admit that the salad can be somewhat polarizing among certain crowds. In my experience, 50% of party guests will LOVE it and come back for seconds.

But the other 50%? There’s somebody who wants to try it, but can’t eat onions. There’s somebody who doesn’t like any spice at all.

There’s a toddler who just wants corn without all the “stuff” on it. And then there’s the people with the cilantro-hating gene.

When it comes to breakfast, there’s probably two camps of people: those who are starving and need to eat something as soon as they wake up, and those who always skip breakfast.

I fall somewhere in the middle. In general, I could take it or leave it.

If there’s a granola bar around, or I feel like making a smoothie or a savory cottage cheese breakfast bowl, I’ll have a little somethin’ somethin’.

Other days, I just skate by on a cup of coffee and wait for lunch. However, I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day yada yada yada, so I am trying to become a regular breakfast eater.

For a short time during culinary school, I had a part-time job at the “gourmet prepared foods” counter of a local grocery store. It was the type of place that charged $19.99/pound for cooked chicken breasts sprinkled with spices.

Insane, I know. The two most popular items were mini turkey meatloaves and lentil burritos. Which mean that all day long, my shift basically involved people leaning over the counter and asking “Ya guys got any lentil burritos?”.

My favorite thing about Sunday Supper is pretending that I’m an Italian grandma, cooking enough food for a family of 10, even though it’s just my husband and I. Needless to say, most of my Sunday suppers have tons of leftovers. But as much as I love leftovers, sometimes I want to eat something a little different later in the week.
