How I Pinch A Penny

Please check your local flyer to be sure they are running the same deals as my paper. Need help with the abbreviations? Click HERE to see what the HECK I am talking about!!

Here is my coupon match up list for Giant Food stores. I am using an ad from South Central Pa. As always check your local flyer for participation. Also There are a lot of match ups for Martins. There are some great printable coupons! We also are earning those gas rewards points again! We all love those!

**ok I figured out a small ‘glitch’ in the coupon policy. I am sure I am the only one who didn’t realize the next bit of info but here goes just incase.:

They will not double multiple coupons! ex. You have $.75 off juice. It will double to $1.50 but if you had a second or third of the SAME coupon they will not double it in the same transaction. So be aware and do multiple transactions to maximize your savings!…but watch the deals where you MUST buy X in a single transaction to get the savings.

We are close to Thanksgiving!!! Are you stocking up?  The items in ORANGE I will be stocking up on in preparation for Thanksgiving. Just a suggestion!

The frost is starting to set in at night so I took that as a sign to pull the rest of the jalapeno peppers from the plants before they got nipped too much.  I was so surprised as too how many were still on the plant!  Check it out:

Now it is time to make the poppers!  I cut off the stems and a bit of the rounded part of the pepper to make a flat opening. Then I insert a sharp knife into the pepper and cut our the seeds and the veins. I kind of twist the knife in the pepper till all the membranes are gone. If you like a bit more kick don’t completely remove the membranes. The membranes and seeds are where all the capsaicin (the heat) resides.

Next step is to blanch them in boiling water. Drop them in boiling water for 3 minutes.  This will partially cook them and make them softer to eat once you fry them with out over cooking them.

Plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking.

Beat cream cheese till fluffy. You are welcome to add shredded cheese or crispy crumbled bacon to the cream cheese. But I didn’t have any in the house so it is just cream cheese.  

Fill a pastry bag with your mixture and use a round open tip to fill the jalepenos. If you don’t have a pastry bag you can use a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.

This is how many a 8 oz. block of  cream cheese makes. It will all depend on how big your jalepenos are and how full you fill them as too how many you will get out of a batch.  I think this one made about 35.

Pop them in the freezer and pull them out when you are ready to get ready to fry them.

How to fry:

1. Heat your oil to 350*.
2. Coat your frozen poppers in flour.
3. Roll them in beaten egg thinned with about 1T water.
4. Roll them in bread crumbs.

Repeat in egg and then bread crumbs.  You don’t have to do this step but I like a thicker coating of breading on my poppers.  

Fry till golden brown.  Enjoy!
