Air fryer jalapeƱo poppers by Key Lime, my mods:
4 slices bacon
4 oz (half brick) cream cheese, softened, cubed
1/3 cup grated cheddar (I used TJ’s cheddar with minced chive and onions)
Dash salt
Dash black pepper
5 jalapeƱos
1. Air fry bacon, 400F, 10 minutes (turning at 5 mins)
2. Mix other ingredients except jalapeƱos in medium bowl.
3. While bacon cools, wash and slice jalapeƱos and scoop out seeds. I use gloves for this task.
4. Crumble cooked bacon into mix of cheeses, etc.
5. Mix stuff up thoroughly.
6. Clean bacon grease from air fryer. I save mine for cooking.
7. Stuff jalapeƱos with mix.
8. Cook as many as fit into air fryer at 350F. I cooked them in 2 batches, 8 minutes each. Cheese should be melts, jalapeƱos softened.

Hi Gemma you sounded really tired on this one and no wonder with all that has been happening to you and your family recently. I’m amazed (and glad) you still find the headspace to podcast at all! I’m also glad you have some freezer food to give you a bit of a break in the kitchen. Try to rest up if you possibly can. You don’t sound like a lady who rests much.
Pain is my thing, unfortunately, and tonight I’m distracting myself by trying to finish an old WIP. Pain can really zap your cognition and where I could rattle out an Arran no bother, now there are a lot of stitch markers and swearing even in the simple stuff. I’ve rejoined my knitting group for a bit if encouragement.
Anyway, glad I’m here listening and glad you’re there broadcasting. Hope you’ll soon have your batteries recharged.
Love
TST
