I’m still amazed sometimes by how far I’ve come on the spice spectrum.  5 years ago–even 3 years ago, I never would have touched anything spicy.  And now I can tolerate what I find to be a reasonable amount of kick in my dishes.  I’m still a wimp on the grand spectrum for sure, but what I love about making dishes yourself is that you can control the spice.

Jalapeno Poppers is definitely a dish I never would have touched.  But the fact is when making your own you can add as many or as few of the seeds as you like for a perfectly personal spice balance.  Plus there’s always the possibility of creativity in the kitchen!  I was loosely following Sherron’s jalapeno popper recipe over at simply-gourmet, but I had half a can of sweet corn opened from the previous night.  So of course I had to throw it in.

And I even got compliments from the friends we had over how much they liked the corn!  Even though I only added it on a whim, in retrospect it makes so much sense.  There’s various hot corn dips that are delicious, and jalapeno poppers are delicious, so it makes perfect sense that together they make one epic dip!

So try out this solid game-day snack, because who doesn’t love dips?
