Happy almost Friday!
Today we’re talking grilling! Because we only eat grilled food from June to August.
I’m pretty serious about grilling
You guys remember how last summer I was obsessed with jalapeños? Like, I would go buy fast food nachos, bring them home, and then pile them with jalapeños?
It’s happening again. We ordered pizza two nights ago and I covered mine in peppers. I am obsessed.
And good news! I planted a jalapeño plant this year and the first one should be ready to pick within a couple days! #BESTDAYEVER
Everyone tells me that jalapeño plants go nuts so once that happens, I’ll be making these Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers all the time. They are SO good.
The jalapeños are stuffed with a cream cheese and cheddar mixture and then they’re wrapped in bacon and grilled until softened and delicious.
Have you ever grilled jalapeño poppers? They will change your life! My husband and I practically fought over the last one.

The recipe looks good, but not for me – I don’t like spicy foods. The grill looks awesome though.
Susan D says
I’m making these tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration – I love the flavor of jalapenos and I love the flavor of bacon so I can’t wait to eat them melded together by gooey cheesy goodness.
Hannah says
YUM! I’ve made this in the oven, but have never thought to grill them! Genius!
Jessica @ Sprinkle Some Sugar says
I am such a whimp that I have never even tried a jalapeno.. I know. Your version sounds so delicious that it’s making me wish I had some in my kitchen right now to make! Lol. I’ll have to try this recipe out asap since they’re perfect for Summer!

If I ever move out of the city, I am going to grill all the things all the time. I love grilled food! These jalapeño poppers look amazing – such a fun appetizer for summer!
Jenice says
These look great but I’m more into grilling fruit. Could use a new grill, mine is getting up in years.
Mary Frances says

Denise | Sweet Peas & Saffron says
I LOVE jalapeno poppers! I tried growing my own plant a few years ago and it didn’t work out so well for me (I guess it shouldn’t be surprising, I’m in Canada!) Love that you made these on the grill. Less dishes!
Jeanne says
These look divine – absolutely making these japs this weekend.

I always make my poppers in the oven, but grilling them sounds fantastic! And yes, WEAR GLOVES!! Lesson learned :)

Amy {Very Culinary} says
Whoa. That’s a great giveaway. We grill all year long (one of the benefits of Cali weather, obvi) BUT when we lived in MN, I was one of those crazy people who would stand out in the snow and grill, too. So ya..I’ll take about 1,037 of these please.
Sarah says
I’m really going to have to try these. I planted 4 jalapeno plants this year and I’m going to need to use them up some how. That grill seems great.
Joanie @ ZagLeft says
What a great giveaway! We grill all the time in the summer. These poppers look delicious – I’ll have to add them to our “must grill” list!
