44 Weeks Until Christmas ~ New Appetizer Recipe Tried

I'm not too behind in trying this recipe.  I printed it off (gulp) back on December 3rd of 2024.

Bacon Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels
Appetizer
(Don't Sweat the Recipe, online)



Did you know they make organic tortillas now?  In case you are lazy like me, and do not want to make them homemade.  


One bowl mix.

Spread on the tortillas, roll up, cover, chill, and slice later.


How they looked sliced for snack size appetizer.

We love these, but be warned, they are not low-fat ha ha!
These would be great for summer potlucks, taking along for weekend getaways, when guests come to visit, picnics and the like.  Not just for Christmas.  I would love to try them with home grown jalapenos from the garden this summer.

Honestly, if you don't want the tortilla in your meals, I would just as much enjoy deviled eggs with bits of freshly chopped jalapenos in the filling too.

It's a brisk 3 degrees here today, with a windchill of -9°F.  It's so frozen outside, we were not able to put our trash container out to the road for trash pick up today. It's frozen to the ground.  Literally.  It previously rained, then froze, then melted a bit, then the snow arrived, and now the continued deep freeze.  Exciting news today.  Ha ha!

I have another recipe to try, but it's not for a holiday meal.  I am in search for one ingredient, and so far unable to find it in stores.  The recipe is from a cookbook I own, so if it all happens, I'll write up a post about it.

Meanwhile, garden plans are underway, and seeds are being ordered.  I try to plant something new to us, so that gives me something to look forward too.

I make something similar to these at the Holidays, they are pinwheels, with cream cheese, chillis, and ? red pepper, drawing a blank at the moment. Your recipe looks good, we like a little spicy spicy around here.

That looks really good and something I know my Hubby would like.
It's so cold here too. Really cold. School has been cancelled for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I'm guessing Thursday too before a bit of a warmup is supposed to begin.
Blessings,
Betsy

Faith, we both liked them, and they are quick, to make, other than chill time.

Betsy, thanks. I think it's the first time for me to make any sort of pinwheel appetizer. We are to warm up too, and I sure hope so. It's very icy going outside to tend the chickens and what not.

I used to make a tortilla pinwheel appetizer but had forgotten all about it! So glad for the reminder, because it was always a big hit.

Definitely time to start on garden plans, even if the garden seems a little ways off still.

Leigh, I would love to know what you put in your appetizer too. I'm always looking for something new for group meals/potlucks etc. Yes, garden planning is fun and we are hopefully able to afford to fence the larger part this year.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
