Jalapenos

[OMG it's Andrea!]

Okay so I have some fresh jalapenos (YUM!) and I love jalepeno poppers, you know with the cream cheese.

Well on my diet I am allowed some cottage cheese but not cream cheese, so I want to try them with the cottage cheese.

However, I obviously cannot deep fry them. So I'm wondering if there is a way to make them less hot since they are fresh?

I'm thinking maybe just fry them in some vegetable oil for a bit? (I am allowed veg oil)

TIA!

I would drizzle them with olive oil and cracked pepper and bake them until they're a little soft

De-seed the jalapenos and make sure you get all of the part that held the seeds off. That's the only real way to make them less hot, besides picking them out to be less hot.

You want large, blunt ended ones, not pointed ones to make them more mild.

Oooh good call, Loretta! Thanks!

Would you say 350 for 20 or so minutes?

My husband BBQs his poppers ..he takes the jalapeños and scoops out the inside then puts in some garlic and cream cheese and a piece of chicken then wraps them in bacon. You could use light cream cheese and turkey bacon. You might even be able to bake them.
