RECIPE: Jalapeño Popper Cups


Celebration Food:  I wanted to post this recipe in honor of National Bread Month and National Pepper Month which is the month of November. I picked this recipe because...well.... it's just one of my favorites. Sometimes I tweak it a bit and add cream cheese. If you love cheese, bread and hot peppers then you'll love it.

I can't get enough of these. Every time I buy can biscuits intended for a different recipe, I end up making popper cups instead. I just love em'
