Puff Pastry Jalapeno Poppers…
Rachel Shultz
These poppers (made with jalapeno, bacon, garlic and cream cheese among other heavenly things) are the reason why I’ll never fit back into a bikini before the end of the summer…and you know what, I think I’m ok with that. These would make a perfect starter for the 4th of July festivities tomorrow – if you don’t eat them all first!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle garlic cloves with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in oven for 30 minutes.

RECLAIMING YOUR CASTLE
