It is Secret Recipe Club time!!!
This month I was giving the blog by fellow native New Englander Jess. She, and husband Nick, are living in Mississippi as Nick is in the air force. Jess has the blog called Flying on Jess Fuel where she documents what she makes for the 2 of them. They met through a friend at a Mexican restaurant, where she impressed him with her jalapeno eating skills. Ohh spice! I knew I would love this blog.
I browsed her recipes and had several in mind but I picked one that featured jalapenos! I decided to make the Jalapeno Cornbread Poppers because it would be fun to make for the upcoming Superbowl and I love them as much as Jess. They are definitely different than a typical jalapeno popper but the change up is so much fun. There are much lighter as they are not packed full of cream cheese and cheese but the cornbread gets nicely fluffy and the crunchy cheesy top is a nice finishing touch. I only made a few simple changes along the way by adding some paprika to the corn bread and then broiling at the end to get the cheese extra brown and crunchy.
I hope that you’ll add these to your Superbowl menu. We are relaxing at home this year and I can’t wait to kick back with chips and something spicy to enjoy with a cold beer!

That is so genius – would have gone perfectly with my SRC pick this month – Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Chowder 🙂
Happy Reveal Day!
Yum! I’m not always a fan of jalapeno’s but this sounds good!
Wow, what a fun recipe!!! I have a horrible tolerance for spicy things, but my sister could probably eat the world’s hottest peppers as if they were potato chips. I’m totally going to make these for her!
Wow, these look amazing! I usually only have jalapeno poppers in the summer when they are grilled, but I don’t think I can wait that long now that I’ve seen these! They’d be perfect for a superbowl party!
What a great twist on the popper. I do love cornbread so I’m sure this is delicious. Perfect SRC pick–can’t wait to try it.
That is such a fantastic idea! Usually I do cream cheese and bacon, but corn bread and jalapenos work really well together! The only way to make them better would be to wrap them in bacon!
I could definitely get on board with having 12 of these!
Yum!! I love jalapeno poppers — these sound amazing!
