Our casual work Christmas party was yesterday. The appetizers were plentiful, we had a full spread of cookies, and the Secret Santas amongst us were very giving. I didn't end up eating an actual meal yesterday. I just ate chips, dips, cheese and some crockpot chicken and dressing my boss made. We're a group that… Continue reading Cranberry Jalapeno Dip

Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblanos
I had to google what the difference between chiles and peppers yesterday. And guess what? I still don't understand what separates them from each other.
