Sautéed Zucchini w/ a kick!

This is one of my favorite ways to cook zucchini. I've also made it with corn and bell pepper. A family favorite!

• 4 cups diced zucchini
• Olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped into small pieces
• Queso fresco
• Cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat up a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini and cook until browned. Add jalapeño, tomato and lime juice. Cook for 1 more minute before removing from heat and topping with cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Jalapeño Poppers

These are so good and so easy. We make them for pretty much any get together or Monday. I've also made this recipe using roasted green chiles. I added some monterey jack to the cream cheese and stuffed the chiles and wrapped in bacon. SO GOOD! Enjoy. :)

• 6-8 jalapenos
• 8oz cream cheese
• 6-8 slices of bacon, cut in half

Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Careful doing this. Some can be really hot and can burn fingers and eyes! You might want to wear gloves just in case. Cut your cream cheese into 12-18 equal squares, depending on how many jalapenos you have. Fill each jalapeno with cream cheese and then wrap with half of bacon. Grill on medium high for 10-15 minutes OR place in greased pan and bake at 400 degrees F. 20-25 minutes. Broil for 5 minutes or so to get them to crisp up.
